@timsthebomb
I’ve never had one be worth it yet. Most the items get given to friends. So I guess in a way it’s kinda worth it. I got a extremely banged up rice maker with no accessories and some xs women’s work out leggings.
It is the most amazing, splendiferous . . . lol, well, okay, sometimes it’s just a load of crap–some of which you wouldn’t ever buy, some of which maybe doesn’t work or just isn’t right, some of which is completely “what the fuck were they thinking to ever create this shit in the first place?” As they say, they’re ostensibly just unloading random junk from their warehouse.
But sometimes it really is amazing. I’ve picked up a few useful items valued at over $100 each over the years. Honestly, I don’t think it’s ever been worth less than $20. Sometimes it’s shit I and anyone I respect won’t ever use.
It’s a crap shoot.
But it’s definitely a thing. It’s part of the community mythos. It’s a randomish epiphanous sort of mystery that binds us together.
You are required to pursue it. You’ll bemoan missing it. When you attain it, you’ll probably regret it.
I’ve received two functional (and new, as far as I could tell) robot vacuums that retailed at over $200, and a new, decent quality surround sound tuner (that we still use) also in the $200 range.
It’s not unusual for the total retail to be over $50. And there are usually a couple of items that I’m at least kind of jazzed about.
Once, maybe twice (out of I-lost-count-of-how-many fukos, fukus and IRKs), it’s been complete shit–still probably worth over $20, but not useful, to me at least.
I’ve picked up a few pairs of good BT earbuds that I still use. And lots of fun, maybe mostly worthless crap, but worth several moments of joy at least.
@joelmw You obviously get the love from meh on these. I get broken glass and other broken items that go straight in the trash. I don’t think I’ve ever had a fuko that was >$20. That you got 2 brand new robot vacs amazes me. Wonder if your being a kickstarter backer has anything to do with it…
@jayman007 That sucks. I hope you get some good ones. Someone’s probably kept track of the numbers; and I haven’t nabbed one every time, but I’ve nabbed several (I’ve got countless bags floating around here). What I mean is maybe it’s just like sales, and the odds eventually work out. But I definitely did get lucky with the first one and I’ve been pretty lucky ever since. I’ve probably had more than a few that were crap; my wife thinks they’re all mostly crap, but we disagree about that.
On a related note: IRK items make great white elephant gifts. That whole “WTF?” quality.
Suprised that captcha didn’t get me but for some reason it asked me for a new card payment. After I bought 3 things already tonight! Always something new to screw me. Alas I love the agony of defeat.
Actually got one! Instantly was filled with joy, and went to my brother to exclaim in success. He looked at me in disgust, and I started to fill with regret. But well, here we are I guess.

Do you know how much I hate having to constantly prove I’m not a robot? I could be instantly regretting my purchase right now if people could just tell I’m human, damn i!
Yesterday I was sent a notice saying one of my packages from Meh was being canceled but they didn’t tell me which of the two I had still had out. There was this and a bluetooth speaker I bought during the Meh-re-thon. I was so hoping it was not this one and was relieved to find out it was not.
It may end up being the speaker I wish I had received. haha
@membrr I wanted mine too, but I didn’t really need it, so it was a mixed blessing. I am kind of embarrassed to say the IRK was a MUCH higher priority for me.
Best regret I’ve ever had! Thanks for this mediocre surprise!
It arrived in a giant humidifier box (wiener dog for scale)
Inside this sad box I got:
The actual humidifier pictured on the box. Seems much fancier than your typical Walgreen’s model. Excited about this. I think it is discontinued. Let’s hope it works.
*Remote control for smartphone to take family photos at a distance.
“High on life” socks
Mini drone (pretty sure we already had this exact model years ago).
*IRK bag
Really though. I’ll consider this a win. I can even reuse the box as a wiener dog cave.

Foiled by the reCaptcha again. Damn that spinning checkmark.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.

Finally, I can go to sleep. I’m going to use my IRK bag as a purse. It appears meh thinks you can never have too many purses.
What is this actually. New to meh
@sdb4u99 it’s a bag of trash that might have some goodies in it. Normally get more then $5 worth of junk though.
@sdb4u99 The best thing meh probably sells. Items randomly selected ant then shipped to you with a bag. The general retail price can easily be 250-450
@gevaertb @sdb4u99 what kinds of things have you been getting in yours where it’s “easily” worth 250-450??
@gevaertb @sdb4u99 or can be marginally $5. Luck of the draw (or not).
@sdb4u99

@sdb4u99 I received broken glass, broken head phones, and other random garbage. So bummed I missed out on this one.

His address was still in there from the pasta.

I woke my wife up just to tell her I got an IRK. She completely understood and asked for the bag.
REGRET! I regret looking up the stupid price of something else! Missed it!
damn it. was a couple seconds too late
:v stupid captcha, really? i been buying stuff all night and they still think i might be a robot.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
@techpawpad who the else would be buying all this shit?![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Captcha again. Argh.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@mediocrebot As robots, shouldn’t we not feel pain?
Of course, that would require scoring an IRK. Which I’ve done all of…once? while racing the captcha.
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
@mediocrebot thanks JUDAS
You normally sell these in lots of 250, but you only sold 100 before they were gone?
Oh my god. You’re rationing the IRKs?

Heh, I’ve nonchalantly clicked Meh on IRK. Have one on the way already…

I can finally go to sleep
Captcha ONLY shows when there’s an IRK. SO annoying.

@Dakini i ordered that same speaker and it got lost in shipping! I so wanted it!
@membrr I wanted mine too, but I didn’t really need it, so it was a mixed blessing. I am kind of embarrassed to say the IRK was a MUCH higher priority for me.
My IDK has arrived, according to my wife:
