Fuku giveaway
8Hi Everyone,
Months ago I "won" a Fuku bag which has since then sat in a corner. I don't even remember what is in it anymore. I'd like to give it away to a fan who may have been "left out" in the past. I think $20 should cover the flat rate USPS shipping and my time to get it mailed out. Anybody in the US want it?

Not to nit pick, but is it really a 'giveaway' if it's 20 bucks? Especially when we sell them for $5?
@MEHcus I see your point, but maybe to someone who hasn't "won" the Fuku lottery, it might be worth it. I could be more specific and list the USPS price it would cost me: $13.45
Hmm, the $13.45 flat rate box is 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". A roomba is 14" wide, so obviously that is out. No deal.
@DaveInSoCal LANA!!!!!!!
@somf69 dangerzone.
I'm giving away a used car. Shipping will be $25,000. Anyone interested?
@capguncowboy Only as long as you don't tell me what kind of car it is and what condition it's in.
Please send via airmail.
@capguncowboy If I buy a $99 yearly subscription does that get changed from $25k ship cost to free 2-day shipping?
@MrMark The JalopyRunner shipping subscription is $49,995.
Never mind. In the trash it goes.
@thrashsoundly These guys are over reacting- there might be someone out there willing to pay for just the bag if you got one. I get that this is break even for you.
@sammydog01 OK, I guess I'll hang onto for another day and see. Doing some spring cleaning.
@thrashsoundly I just did that too... I had a Box that was set aside for the next great Fuku exchange... but realized it wouldn't be worthwhile for the person receiving it... so it is going to good will tomorrow.. :)
@thrashsoundly I'm sure Goodwill or some other charity organization would love to have it.
@sohmageek Found a couple unworn Meh shirts too: Black VMP and Grey meh faces in XXL. I'll toss those in the box too.
@thrashsoundly Donate it to Goodwill.
I once "won" 200 pair of Trip Glasses, they laid around for almost a year and them I decided to donate them to Goodwill.
@thrashsoundly Do you have Paypal?
@funco49 I do.
@thrashsoundly Shoot me an email .... add gmail.com
So you don't "remember what's in it" haha sure.
@msujp Don't recall being overly excited when I got it, so I haven't bothered to look again. I was wrong, I remember a birthday hat in it.
Based on the lukewarm responses above, I feel like I shouldn't be as enticed by this as I am - but I have a hard time ever making it in time for a Fuku and think it's pretty cool you're offering. I don't feel like a real Mehtizen without having one, even if it's sorta cheating to get it.
Just the bag, or the bag + something that's probably a speaker dock? I think I'd be game...
@Rosstafari Bag plus everything that came with it, plus two tees.
@thrashsoundly seems totally worth it.
only took 12 hours to find a buyer. Seems like it was a reasonable offer, then -
@michaelkriz Still waiting on any takers for the used car giveaway. Still, who knew the secondary market for Fuku was so strong?
The fuku bag is spoken for. Hope @funco49 gets some value or joy out of it.
I read through the comments on this "free" item. I was scrolling through to see where meh got involved to squash this as imo this should be against the rules. People stay up super late to get a chance and this person gets one and has the gall to sell it to cover shipping plus a small profit on the same website. Meh: time to make a policy against this before it becomes a trend on here.
@woca1121 i only stay up until 2100 to get a fuku. super late would be like, you know, 2230 or something.
@carl669 but you stay up super late reading all the complaining in the forum after the Fuku.
@woca1121 If you toss in the two t-shirts he's losing money and making someone happy. I don't see a problem- it's not like he put it on eBay.
@Ignorant well, not really. i already have the perfect response:
I'm the person who bought the Fuku bag.
I have a pretty good reason I got the thing.
I have a friend that just had their son take his own life last week. The guy was 42 and his wires have been crossed for a long time.
I told my friend not to beat themselves up. The guy had lots of help and friends but nothing worked.
The bag will be perfect for us when we clean the air. They will get the joke as we put this to rest so they can get on with their life.
This works for me and that's what counts.
@funco49 Sorry your son took his life but this Fuku bag will make it all better? Interesting therapy.
@funco49 So sorry to hear. I hope you get some fun out of the bag. At least the face shirt is amazing if nothing else.
