Finally scored my first IRK and I’ve been here since day one. Did I have to pay an ungodly amount? Yes. Will I use all 13 $5 vouchers by December? Most likely. Did I pay waaaaaaay too much for this IRK? Without a doubt. Am I still stupidly happy I finally got one? Absolutely!
@hdog35 then Meh’s experiment has worked! Congrats! But wait, if you’ve been here since day one, how come you haven’t scored a fuku or fuko or IRK til now? I’ve been here since almost day one and I’ve snagged more than a few of each…
@hammi99 I’m not usually on the ball at all to grab them. Been so very close so many times at meh-ta-thons…. Had one cart ready to go only to lose out trying to complete checkout. The system puts slower ISP users at a disadvantage. Still happy today tho.
I think more than a few people are buying this “out of spite” especially if they have missed previous IRKs, they are probably frustrated and revenge buying LOL. Either that, or like me, they just buy a lot of crap on meh. My daily midnight diligence paid off, scoring the first $5 one and later on, the $20 one, so with 5 impending coupons, here’s hoping meh offers two things the rest of the year that I want 2-3 of…
@FreePasta SideDeal is always much more expensive than Meh (on the products that show up on both places). For instance, the recent Vitamin Energy shots were 48 for $48 on Meh and on SideDeal it’s 48 for $59.
I usually scour MorningSave and SideDeal and those two don’t usually have much that I want, or I can find similar cheaper on Amazon, etc. Whenever I see an item or MS or SD that I’ve ordered on Meh, I always check prices against my Meh orders.
Based on what I’ve purchased (non-exhaustive of what MS and SD has), only one time has the price difference been a couple dollars and I did order more on MS. The Quench skin care set was $19 on Meh and I ordered three more on MS for $20 each.
I know very little about computers so I’m going to ask the dumb questions. If someone is using a bot to grab irks do they have to turn it on everyday or can you just leave it running 365? Basically are there going to be folks who check in on meh this evening and find out they’ve spent $100s on irks?
@mappiahpadi If people are using bots, I would think they would be somehow setup to only do it once per day, right? Otherwise they could have multiple IRKs each time and have all but one be cancelled.
Hmmm at $65 thats…letseehere… 13! 13 $5 coupons that can’t be stacked. 13 times Meh has to put something up I actually want… let me check my history… brb.
Edit:
6 times so far this year & a couple of those I regret buying, although not instantly. I am pretty sure I will never be able to use 13 $5 coupons this year.
But that’s okay, I likely couldn’t click the button fast enough anyhow!
@rileyper@Trinityscrew yes, it seems to be one per transaction/order/purchase. However, you can break up the orders as long as you haven’t hit that limit for that day. I think. I say this because occasionally I have purchased an item and later in the day decided I wanted one or two more and I was able to place a second order as long as it wasn’t sold out.
@hammi99@Trinityscrew haha, you are a super Meher! I compared my purchases to yours and though “They’re not THAT far ahead” but then I noticed when you joined compared to me. haha.
@pricciar@Trinityscrew@gsrivast : 276 orders!! yikes! that is far ahead of us… but looking at meh buttons… haha trying to fly under radar and not be a goat…
Apparently one person immediately cancelled - I would think bot but there would have to be a way to just turn it off and not need to immediately cancel… right?
Weird, did anyone else’s screen change with this one? I took a screenshot.
@guybrush01 Classic! Thanks for the chuckle.

@hdog35 yes definitely slow internet will mess it up. Upgrade just for meh? LOL
will the next one be $69?
Say, those coupons work over on CaseMates as well, or did you forget about us…?
WTAF, really?

Don’t forget about SideDeal.

My $30 irk seems like a bargain
Oh good - the timer is back. Didn’t feel like a -rathon without it
@tenorkicksbrass
The timer’s back and we’re gonna have a countdown
Hey-naaaa, hey-naaa, the timer’s back.
/giphy whale watching
Took nearly 30 seconds. Starting to see a slowdown on the buying speed.
@MrMark yep. Noticed about 8 screen refreshes before it sold out.
I just can’t afford to tie up that much cash
@jmhsrv How do you fill your gas tank?
@jmhsrv @Trinityscrew That’s prob why they need to keep liquid!
@Trinityscrew I have a kid with pancreatic cancer - gas is an absolute necessity

@mappiahpadi very insightful question, I’m hoping they get burned!
@mappiahpadi If people are using bots, I would think they would be somehow setup to only do it once per day, right? Otherwise they could have multiple IRKs each time and have all but one be cancelled.
I love me an IRK. But no fucking way I’d pay $65 for one. Coupons or no.
@joelmw Wait until you get a load of the $90 ones.
I guess the threshold of regret has not been met yet. Maybe the ragret threshold is higher?
@heartny I am starting to think there isn’t one.
Only have phone. Will never be able to beat out someone with desktop computer. Allowing people to buy multiple irks screws us even more. Meh sucks
@natekimh I’ll send you a bunch of shit I bought at meh for only $60. Total bargain.
@natekimh @sammydog01 I’ll do it for $55! LOL
Hmmm at $65 thats…letseehere… 13! 13 $5 coupons that can’t be stacked. 13 times Meh has to put something up I actually want… let me check my history… brb.

Okay! It’s now documented. I am an sucker.
@Joedetroit
You mean you got one?
@Kyeh Yes. $70. I realize I have a problem. Xmas is coming!
@Joedetroit Well, at least you a free shirt, too!
/giphy bored-factual-muffin
@DanFielding Somebody take that cord & his shoelaces away from him before he gets this IRK delivered!
13 free shipping coupons for non vmpers.
@rileyper Shipping is $6
@rileyper Is it free shipping if you’ve paid $60 for them?
@rileyper That you probably won’t use up before the end of the year. I buy here often. I am a member but 13 purchases before the end of the year? No.
@rileyper @Trinityscrew well it could be 4 purchases in which you buy 3 of each item (plus one for 13)… my last few purchases, I have been buying 3 …
@hammi99 @rileyper If it works like that. Can you apply a coupon code for each item? I thought it was just one per transaction.
@hammi99 @rileyper @Trinityscrew
I think you could if you just bought each one separately. Like 5 minutes between purchases.
@rileyper @Trinityscrew yes, it seems to be one per transaction/order/purchase. However, you can break up the orders as long as you haven’t hit that limit for that day. I think. I say this because occasionally I have purchased an item and later in the day decided I wanted one or two more and I was able to place a second order as long as it wasn’t sold out.
@hammi99 @rileyper @Trinityscrew
I’ve done that too, bought one and then gone back for another.
@Trinityscrew Wow, you have 177 orders, beating my 155 and here I thought I buy a lot on Meh LOL
@hammi99 @Trinityscrew haha, you are a super Meher! I compared my purchases to yours and though “They’re not THAT far ahead” but then I noticed when you joined compared to me. haha.
@hammi99 @pricciar @Trinityscrew looks like I’m in good company… not the only hardcore meh fiend here.
@pricciar @Trinityscrew @gsrivast : 276 orders!! yikes! that is far ahead of us… but looking at meh buttons… haha trying to fly under radar and not be a goat…
@gsrivast @hammi99 @Trinityscrew It’s pretty clear that gsrivast can buy as many high priced IRKs as they want. They’re going to use the coupons.
@hammi99 @pricciar @Trinityscrew Gotta preserve that “v” badge next to the name. Cant risk getting that replaced with the inverted goat.
@gsrivast @pricciar @Trinityscrew amen to all the comments!
