Guess what we're selling tomorrow based on tomorrow's poll
7I was thinking it’d be fun to have a guessing game based on some sort of clues…but then I couldn’t think of the right clues. Nicely, our polls are so tangentially related to what we’re selling, I think they could work well.
Let’s try it - What are we selling tomorrow if this is what we’re asking:
Have you ever done something really stupid and gotten hurt?

@Ignorant This is actually closely related to my answer for the upcoming poll question.
@djslack Pics or it didn’t happen.

@medz this was my 2nd guess
@Ignorant too bad it want your first

refurbished Chicken and Waffle Wavy Lay’s?
/image hoverboard
@sammydog01 Yeah the ones that catch fire because after all they’d be cheap, refurbished (if not a little charred) and thus meh would buy them.
@Kidsandliz The ones that meh has sold so far are the ones that are UL approved.
Fashion splints, 2 pack. Choice of arm or leg. 2 for $14 arm, 2 for $17 leg. Six wacky patterns inspired by Unsimply Stitched socks, which means one you like and five that’ll make your eyes bleed.
@djslack Paired with patches for those bleeding eyes
@sammydog01 that are melted together with a very dull knife
/image mandoline
You should have done a package deal with a cut resistant glove. So it’s totally not my fault that I lost 1/16" of my pinky.
@sammydog01 They shouldda done the mandoline slicer intead of the knife the one could have sheets of candy corn or better yet candy corn ribbon dipped in dark chocolate.
This deal place is getting like home depot 80% of anythine necessary to do the job. Meh
@cranky1950 I have the mandoline and the block of candy corn, but is it a good idea. Hmmm…
I did too, @sammydog01! We need to partial pinky swear, or something.
Mine is just flatter on one side now.
@sammydog01 Fun yes, good idea-- well not for your butt or waist line but hey summer is almost over. My sister in-law when she starts gaining weight it goes straight to her boobs, it’s so cool.
@KDemo Mine too, and the nerves are still wonky. I was just glad I didn’t have it set to 1/4"- that would have been an emergency room visit.
@ConAndLibrarian FYI, I always bought TheraPearl items when they were sold at Woot!
I bet it’s not a Bluetooth speaker.
Action camera of some sort?
A knife and candy
Ha, I was going to guess a knife. Shoulda done that. My second guess was speaker docks
I had the cutting your finger off part right…
/image ice crusher
i lied in the poll. well, actually, i forgot until here
A combination blender/drone.
@KDemo I like how you think.
Galaxy Note 7?
(And why didn’t Amazon sue Samsung for stealing the fire idea?)
A Slip 'n Slide with a rock-hard bamboo pillow at the end?
Have you ever done something really stupid and gotten hurt?
Usually proceeded with, "Hold my beer and watch this."
I’m guessing a vintage 6 pack of Billy Beer is on tap. (see what I did there?)
one of those TENS pain electro-zapper things
/image tens pain management
Pfd aka life jackets for all the flooding in texas.
Something from Morningsave.
A chemistry set?
And it had nothing to do with the poll! Yay!
Want to try this again? Here’s tomorrow’s poll:
What do you think of magic shows?
What are we selling?
@dave Magic eraser type sponges.
@dave blenders
@dave scarves
@pitamuffin Good one!
@dave The knockoff Magic Wands you sold on the Mehrathon / Morningsave.
@dave
/image rocket skates
@Kawa I wandered over to Morningsave and found a diy dog storage lamp- I hope it’s that.
https://morningsave.com/deals/diy-dog-storage-lamp
@dave bags of candy corn and a magic wand.
Magnets
Case lots of Chicken and Waffle Wavy Lay’s?
@cranky1950 They’re magical!
@sammydog01 If you say so.
/image magic erasers
I think that tomorrow’s item will be a top hat.
Because:
I don’t think anyone would have guessed a brand new Google Home in a million years.
Seeing as it is now 11:22 PM and tomorrow doesn’t start for another 38 minutes I’m guessing tomorrow 's item is a Google Home. Hey @Dave, did I win one?
Turns out I was right! Go figure!
A chainsaw that “is flawed in some fundamental way”?
“In 1995, Krystof, a Polish farmer, was drinking with friends when someone suggested they take off all their clothes in a display of their ‘manliness’. At first, they fought each other with frozen turnips, but to up the ante, one of the men whacked out a chainsaw and cut off the end of his foot. Not to be outdone, Krystof swung at his own head, and decapitated himself, landing himself firmly on the Darwin awards shortlist.” Darwin Awards
Ok, you’ve got a chance of getting at least part of this one right. Guess what we’re selling based on tomorrow’s poll:
Be honest: Are you ever afraid of the dark?
(And to be clear, there’s no prize but I’ll probably star your answer if you’re right, and maybe even if you’re not.)
@dave
Flashlight stungun combo
@dave A flashlight that you crank by hand or squeeze or otherwise power sans traditional batteries.
@dave Flashlight + knife combo.
(Speaker dock not included.)
@dave camping lantern with speaker
Phillips hue smart light bulbs
@dave ooh ooh ooh, is it more american lighting rope lights that violate MAP?
@dave Something Nickelodeon-related.
@djslack But meh did NOT violate them. Per the letter, meh charged too much!
@dave This is the best game yet! Can we keep playing?
/giphy please?
@sammydog01 Convinced me, I’d give her anything she wants.
All right, it’s time for America’s latest game show craze, GUESS
WHAT 
MEH 
IS 
SELLING 
BASED 
ON 
THE 
POLL?
What’s your biggest gripe about hotel rooms?
You think you know, you think you’ve got an idea, you’re going to get this one, right? Right? All right, what’s your guess?
@dave it’s that portable steamer thing.
@dave ultraviolet toothbrush sanitizer…or mehbe a luggage.
@dave Pillows? Or mehbe something to kill bedbugs. Unless maybe you can suffocate them will pillows, consider some of the ones that have been sold here already.
@dave
bricksmemory foam pillows.@dave Bible? No, I’m guessing some kind of outlet thing because I never have enough outlets in hotel rooms.
@dave a universal wireless thermostat that operates all models of hotel climate control systems? Wow, I can’t wait!
Actually @heartny, @narfcake, and @sammydog01 took my real ideas above.
I found one of these in a hotel room and have it on my Amazon wish list. They make one with a Bluetooth speaker too.

@dave Not being invited to the party in the next room. Noise canceling headphones would help.
@djslack I am frustrated by the control lockouts inherent in many hotel rooms. My SOP after getting into my room? Google how to hack the thermostat. So far I have a 100% success rate.
@dave bleach, industrial trash bags, and a hacksaw.
@dave A cooler bag to hold all the crappy stuff in the mini bar, so you can put real beer in it.
@dave Some 4K monitors is my guess.
Bento boxes to carry off 3rds and 4ths from the breakfast room. ( I only stay in high class joints)
Ok, so this one’s a little easier, but try to be specific (and it’s not a repeat):
If I were a Star Wars character, I’d be …
What are we selling tomorrow?
@dave Star Wars mugs.
@dave
/image r2d2 laser keyboard
@dave
/giphy real working lightsabers
@dave Sphero BB-8, refurbished
@dave Them masks that change your voice; or that wookie mask that makes wookie sounds.
@djslack Dang it! I was gonna guess lightsabers!
Ok, then…
Air Hogs Star Wars drones
(but probably not that model)
@dave death star ice molds
@dave Funko Pop Vinyl Star Wars Figurines
@dave A refurb sphero BB-8 would have been better.
Assorted Star Wars Bluetooth speakers.
Solo® Cups?
Or maybe some Star Wars MIMOBOT USB Flash Drives. I could use moar.
There’s no pole.
@cranky1950

@medz but there’s no pole

Mattress Topper
@dave I’m going to guess without a poll question tonight. It probably won’t be any less accurate this way.
Oversized bean bag chairs.
@djslack I would like one of those.
Are we due for more necklaces yet?
@sammydog01 Cultured freshwater pearls fo’ sho.
I’ll give you some extra time tonight to guess what we’re selling tomorrow based on the poll:
Favorite Steve Miller Band song?
All right, let’s see where you go with that one.
@dave Adult diapers
@dave I’m going with “A magic kit”
/giphy eagle kite
@sammydog01 K, now I need one. The wee kitten on the left me thinks.
@dave Plasma lighters.
@dave Assorted refurbished airliners. Selection includes the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 and Boeing 727 and 737. They will be very affordably priced once you factor in that shipping is only $5.
@dave Drones
It’s a bundle of 4 very different items and we weren’t close on even one of them.
/giphy losers
@sammydog01 that gif is wildly appropriate.
All right, only 10 minutes left but I figured I’d go ahead and post tomorrow’s for anyone who wants to guess:
What wild animal do you see most often in your neighborhood?
What’s on Meh tomorrow?
@dave cheetah, leopard, zebra and giraffe patterned Bluetooth speakers?
@dave home safari kits? I could enjoy a good pith helmet.
Pearls it’s time for pearls again. Tear drop pearl earings and a necklace.
Like I said Foscams.
