I got one, I actually got one. Now I have never seen these before, but I am familiar with the woot ones. Im sure I lost money. What can I expect? Is there a thread of pictures from previous ones? Thanks
@WierdBMD In my experience, if an expensive item arrives, it will more likely be from Meh than Woot. A few IRKs tend to have something really nice, then the rest, so so. Here is a link where you can skim through some of the reveals.
@WierdBMD over in the forums I think you’ll find done old threads with reveals. The last one I got I threw away or gave away literally everything in the IRK. It was terrible. So believe them when they say you might get a bag of useless crap!
@WierdBMD There are many IRK reveal threads, with wildly variable contents on display. The stuff inside has ranged from obviously broken to OMGMazingSome, but tends more toward “Meh, not great, worth $5, I guess.” So far, while the ones I’ve scored nominally had stuff in them of greater than $5 value, some significant portion of it was often not worth any more than that to me. Clothing of the wrong size, sheet sets that won’t fit our bed, things like that. YMMV is the thing to understand.
@WierdBMD honesty most irks bags aren’t worth their cost even at $5 imo. Then why do we keep buying them you might ask. Well hope springs eternal and in the old days you could snag some great gifts from meh when the Fuko bags were sold( predecessors to irks).
@sammydog01 I am aware that they let in the Mehmbers into the pantry some time ago, but still hoping there’s something in it for us long-haulers…also the heart is just so meh compared to being Very Meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@sammydog01@ticklescratch There have been some VMP-only 4PM things this year, so it’s not dead, though we’re getting a little suspicious about the lack of squawkage and what looks like nails holding its feet to the perch.
Price still going up- guess meh took clue from gasoline prices lately — up up and away in my beautiful , my beautiful irk room ( sung to an old song tune from way back when by the 5th Dimension)
@n3uka yeah, those people buying ay these prices are going to be so sad when they open their boxes to find handfuls of fitness watches and extra bands.
@jnicholson0619@n3uka I just assume that they are frequent buyers so they look at it as free because they know they will buy something 9 times or more for the rest of the year…
Didn’t even try. Waiting for a $5-$10 vmp irk. No way am I spending $45 on a box of an unknown number of iphone 6 protectors (i have so many cases and screen protectors… not a single iphone in the house tho), full size sheet sets (i always get full and king sets… neither of which i have beds for), those button-locator things (the name escapes me atm), Mac book sleeves (I have 3 of those still from irks), etc… I can barely make my $5 back sometimes on marketplace. I’d never make $45 back.
@thechinglish At the rate that IRKs have been coming up since January, and given the price increase increments on this round, you may find that you’ve fallen into the gravity well too far to escape from the event horizon…
@thechinglish actually you can bet based upon this “experience” today, irks won’t be sold at $5 any longer as their price will increase probably to $15.
@WierdBMD Generally it’s one per 24 hour period or event but today is special. And I would be shocked if you came back after you find out what your $45 got you. But you never know…

/giphy no
/giphy hell no
Hm, that one felt longer. I could refresh and see 7 sold, then 17, then 43, then the full 50. Still not up to a minute yet, but also not instantaneous
And then back to 49 because there has been someone every single round so far cancelling like, 30 seconds after…
@triavalon except someone cancelled so now 49.

@AttyVette Well I can’t wait to show you all my reveal and how unlucky I was when I get it. Thanks
Sometimes IRKs are not worth 5.00. Can’t justify 45.
Glad I got the 5.00 one at 8!
holding out hope that the price clock resets at 4PM for VMP-only hour…the perks of hanging on to that membership are tenuous at best
@ticklescratch VMP hour is now member hour. You can drop VMP and get a nice little heart any time you want.

@muzztime For 45 bucks?? As former child star Dickie Roberts would say, “That’s nuckin’ futz!!”

Yep, guess I am out unless they start going lower again
@n3uka yeah, those people buying ay these prices are going to be so sad when they open their boxes to find handfuls of fitness watches and extra bands.
@jnicholson0619 wait, you get something else other than those TrackR trackers?

@jnicholson0619 ITYM TrackR Pixel, which is a Great Tradition in IRKs.
And let’s not forget iPhone 8 cases.
SWEET. I just prepaid for 9 more irks by the end of the year
@thechinglish Good luck getting the coupon code in the box in time.
@sammydog01 hahahaha true true

@AttyVette @thechinglish Maybe they’ll decide to sell them at a break even price instead of a shirt losing price.
@AttyVette @thechinglish
Coupons cannot be stacked (i.e. they must be used separately) and expire 12/31/2022
Can one buy multiple of these throughout the day? Or are we limited to one a day or one a month or however often meh does this?
@WierdBMD Read the write-up in the product description …
