UPDATE.

@betlogs Same

@charla10 congrats to both of you

@username Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.

/giphy buy

perfect

@cjreije Me too, dammit. I clicked so fast. There is always someone faster.

@kshannon1 Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.

@Kidsandliz Probably found a bunch of crap during the move. Figured they could get paid to get rid of it!

@Kidsandliz Quantity goes up, quality goes down down down.

@Kidsandliz Agreed! Thanks meh!

@ruouttaurmind Yeah that is most likely true. The last one I got was really crappy and the one before that (well I missed several in between) came as an empty box due to a poor taping job (meh sent then sent me a bag, puck, and sticker but it was sad that whatever else was going to have been in there was gone).

/image hope springs eternal?

edit - so where’d my image go after the previous one it gave me? Sigh. I hope this isn’t foreshadowing my fuko to come…

@EvilTuna31x that’s nothing new (grin)

@accumulator Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.

@MrMark Got the same message. I kept thinking “Do I look stupid?” Then realized “they” can’t see me!

@squishybrain What a difference 3 years makes…

@Distantsoil Congrats!!!

@hems79 thanks! I hope some others were lucky too!

@Distantsoil buy a lottery ticket…NOW!

@dagirlgenius BRB buying 7/11s entire stock of Texas State lottery tickets

@Distantsoil You have my deepest condolences.

@Circuitbrkr BOC? What’s that?

@squishybrain Bag Of Crap. Woot thing.

@squishybrain Barrel of Crud.

@maxporter Half awesome, anyway.

@MrJazz Can’t help but agree on that point, the past 4 BOC’s I’ve gotten have been pretty lacking, but the one other Fukobukuro I bought was awesome.

@maxporter That’s what I’d say too: The last couple BOCs don’t compare w/ the one Fukubukuro I got.

@lilsrm123 I though these were limited to one per customer

@lilsrm123 last mehrathon they cancelled all but one.

@AiraCobra They are! Last Meh-rathon I snagged one for myself, and one for a friend who wasn’t so lucky. Meh then cancelled one of my orders…and I had to tell the friend he wasn’t getting a Fuko after all.

@RiotDemon Alright! SO I just saved 3 (un)lucky souls from buying any!

@lilsrm123 So, thanks for taking up three extra orders that will be cancelled. My bad, sorry.

@therealjrn Gotta keep Meh on their toes! More work for em.

Interesting enough this time I did not see any wording in the item description saying “limit one per customer” or anything along those lines, which would make a cancellation questionable for your circumstance.

@datruandi @lilsrm123

While I know @dave has addressed this in the past, I have a link to a post by @Thumperchick readily available.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/fukobukuro-meh-rathon-edition-2#59c179c5d67bb609780892ba

@mflassy wouldn’t it have to be in the item description then “one per customer per event” or anything along those lines? Reading forum posts is not a requirement to buy stuff and not parts of a terms of a sale. Maybe there is a general clause “right to refuse sale yaddayadda” that covers all of it. But it would just be correct to list the restriction on an item purchase with the item being sold. Even though they sell out quickly, the benchmark is a reasonable first time visitor of the website (well, in this case “first time sales event participant”) and what they would think based on the description of the item being sold.
Now, I do not care much personally - but I don’t get why they do not make it explicit. One sentence such as “limit one per customer per 24 hours” would do it.

@datruandi

Valid point.

@dave

@mflassy at the same time - I would not want meh to become a terms and conditions nightmare.
So meh-be we have to live with some level of uncertainty to not destroy the spirit.

@datruandi Perhaps they can just add a flag to user account that resets in 24 hours when you purchase a Fuko, which the checkout program looks for during other Fuko purchases in that time frame, and returns a shameful message for greedy jerks like me.

@datruandi Just had this issue clarified for me without asking! Got an email from meh cancelling one of my fuku orders. I had a total of two for the day, about 8 hours apart. So… I won’t have to ask about that next time! I wish they could contact someone who was denied one instead of just putting the stuff back on the shelf.

@DrunkCat even with an instant Ajax update you would still catch buyers in the act of purchasing. They go that fast.

@djslack Excuses. I’ve read about quantum tunneling.

@dadofkmctm They sold them earlier but only to VMP

@AiraCobra @dadofkmctm

This was the 5th listing today.

One was VMP only.

4 had 250, and this one had 151.

(Of course though, if you look at the listings for them, the numbers are smaller, but that’s because orders have been cancelled.)

@MrMark Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.

@mediocrebot was I close?

@AdmiralDave Sorry, my fault really. You only get to keep one. House rules.

@therealjrn I’m going to miss that Hamilton.

/image sad goat face

@AdmiralDave Oh YaY the order was cancelled and I get my Hamilton back
/giphy extra Hamilton

And the bag is such a sporty color.

@airmo

No.

Usually I would agree, but this time it seems there is nothing written restricting it.

@wmbarr I saw a picture that someone got a broken piece of glass that i believe said “peace” written on it with permenant marker.

@wmbarr Broken DVD of some movie I’d never heard of.

@wmbarr my first Fuko had Ed Hardy temporary tattoos.

@Zachalope Yes. Be very worried.

@Zachalope I don’t even know the words. Worried, no. Excited,no.

@Zachalope Bet he’s squeezing out two pillows.

@Zachalope normally I would say yes, but you got a picture of Meow there, from space dandy. I think that might very good luck.

@mehcuda67 you’ve been up for 24 hours?

@wew Nawww, I just happened to be up when they happened (though I just missed one because I was driving home from a doctor’s appointment ). I was up for at least 20 hours of the previous Mehrathon though.

@vikkiruth no

@mr_x_knows

@HELLOALICE so sorry.

@margot5115 your innocence is sweet, prepare for it to be crushed.

@thismyusername You say my innocence is sweet but regardless, when I get my box I will tweet. I’m prepared to be crushed - just don’t make me blush.

@doxeelady have you been very very bad?

@thismyusername I unnerstan. I think it took me like 10 years, first woot, then here. After losing every one, the depression got worse, no kidding. I finally got one, and it was crap of course. So, hang in there for like another 9 years. I believe in you.
Also, Ignore the post below this.

@Cerridwyn I mean they had to really right? that uniformity didn’t drive people to stick around to look at/buy the crap when we knew whenish it would happen.

@thismyusername
good point. my 2nd round Fuko is the only thing I bought today. I didn’t catch every item, but nothing tempted me to the buy command

@Cerridwyn yes means prepare to be underwhelmed lol BUT that’s the appeal of it in the first place…life is like a box of chocolates …never know what you’ll get kind of thing

@jordanthegreat Define interesting. Chinese proverb interesting? Object of deep study interesting? Or

@jordanthegreat
got bamboo sheets last time
sold them for much more than i paid for the fuko cause they didn’t fit my bed

there is always something ‘interesting’. question only is is it something that

@AdmiralDave

If I did the math correctly, 5 more orders have been cancelled in the last hour.

@AdmiralDave Yeah, same here. I was going to give the extra to my girlfriend. I didn’t know it worked this way.

@MarilynOnMars mine was the same way. Glad its not just me. Im excited to see whats in it! Its my first one!

@wfondren Nice! I lovelovelove that movie! It’s easily in my top 5!
