It’s time to up the ante.
At $100 remove all cancellation options, tack on a $50 handling fee, a $50 shipping fee & overnight the orders. Have whatever workers who are in the warehouse right now grab the first boxes they see (whether they are filled or not) & ship them out first thing in the morning.
@hammi99@RogerWilco Are you saying there’s a way for visitors to the site to see who cancelled their orders? That would be interesting to see!
I’m not sure if I ever cancelled an order (no matter how much I may have regretted it) how long does one typically have to do so? I’m hoping it’s maybe 30 minutes or less for all the bots who are now trying to figure out what to do with several IRKs and hundreds of $5 coupons.
@ciabelle not exactly. I am sitting there refreshing the page to see how fast and how many buy. And I noticed it was at 28 and then next refresh, it was at 27, so I imagine one of the 28 (not necessarily #28) canceled in their time window. If I didn’t see that increase, then decrease, I wouldn’t have known. Oh and I do this because I have no life and am bored hahah, this is my entertainment. Thanks meh (also quite sad).
@ciabelle@hammi99@RogerWilco @djslack said you have an hour to cancel.
I once bought Pho-flavored jellybeans (I think?) in one of the fun Mehrathons that has Archie McPhee stuff, but then cancelled immediately.
Oh, and I bought the PS5 that was on Sidedeal a while back to see if the sale was for real, but then cancelled that.
@IndifferentDude that’s a legit statement. I’ve never been more glad to have a wonky sleep schedule. Got mine at midnight just before doing Wordle. Thank goodness i checked her first. Even with my meh click before it actually clicked what was being sold, i got one. Almost bought one after work for 50 but i stopped myself, unlike the scientists in jurassic park i did stop to ask myself if i should. And the answer was no.
@IndifferentDude I missed the earliest ones, got shut out on the $10 offer, but nailed one of the $15 ones. If I hadn’t gotten that one, not sure how many more times I would’ve kept trying. Before the end of the year I’ll probably be able to use at least two of the coupon codes, but no way I’m going through six … or ten … or NINETEEN!
(I was thinking I could use the coupon codes for another IRK in a future Meh-rathon … but by the time you went through the process of plugging it in, you’d probably be SOL. )
I do not understand why Obi-wan did not kill Vader when he had the obvious chance. Well if he did, then none of the Star Wars movies would actually happen …
@blaineg enjoy it. Its a must watch piece of star wars magic. I teared up a couple times because it just hits in all the right places…at least for a kid that grew up with the prequels. Us fanboys needed this.
At this point, with ~190 days to use coupons, you gotta wonder how many orders someone would need to make per day to use all the coupons in time if they have bought every single box. My math is currently pegged at two, but that will change with the $100 IRK next.
@triavalon If one buyer had scored once in every batch in the Thon, they would have 234 coupons. So, about one and a quarter purchases per day to use them all. However, given that they could have scored 30 IRKs in the last batch alone, The highest possible coupon total was far more ridiculous, 994.
What the hell did I just do? Been out all day and just signed on saw an irk bag of something and sprung for $95 plus shipping and tax and I have NOT A CLUE what I just purchased. Covid really destroyed my brain cells.
@TexterTusher CANCEL-Cancel-cancel!!! This is a Meh April Fools’ Joke in June. Do NOT buy this IRK ay $95!!! Abort, abort, abort while you’re still in your hour to do so!!!
Oh shite! I just went back and read the product description. I just spent $ 95 plus for a but load of useless %5 coupons that I will never use. I just got the casino fever and hit the buy button. I was programmed to do this from way back when this was actual WOOT and I could never manage to score the bag of crap. Damn your eyes, MEH!
At this rate I’m curious if they will sell out at 95… also no one can complain they didn’t get the chance to buy. 20 minutes in and they are still available off course 95 May be a smidge much…
@MrMikenIkes Ohmygosh, I thought I was the only one who says “Dollars to donuts”! I have no idea where I ever learned it. Great to see another person say it, too!
@blaineg First they have to open it up to new tattoos. I believe mine was right around $100. But of course the size, design, placement and artist will vary in price.
And this is why I shouldn’t visit the site when I’m high. I know I can cancel but I’m just way too curious to see what comes. NO RAGRETS tattoo is coming next!
You know, I was always pissed off that I couldn’t buy an IRK. Now, I could have actually bought one. NO FREAKING WAY… $95.00. Get over yourself MEH. You already get too much of my $$$.
@serr The coupons were in an email that you should have received about two weeks ago. They’re codes that begin with the numeral 5, and at the $95 IRK level, there should have been 19 of them. Plus, there’s an additional code in the text of that email which you can’t use yourself, but can share with one other person of your choice who can use it to get $5 off of a single purchase on SideDeal or Meh.

Almost bought it but it was $95
Oooh! Only one hour until $100!
I’m excited.
@guybrush01
@guybrush01 The hour of power! Stay tuned.
It’s time to up the ante.
At $100 remove all cancellation options, tack on a $50 handling fee, a $50 shipping fee & overnight the orders. Have whatever workers who are in the warehouse right now grab the first boxes they see (whether they are filled or not) & ship them out first thing in the morning.
@RogerWilco $200? For an IRK?! THE AUDACITY!
@RogerWilco @troy How audacious are you feeling?
@RogerWilco i like the remove cancelation option. #28 on his $95 IRK just canceled so it’s 27 sold.
@hammi99 @RogerWilco Are you saying there’s a way for visitors to the site to see who cancelled their orders? That would be interesting to see!

Oh, and I bought the PS5 that was on Sidedeal a while back to see if the sale was for real, but then cancelled that.
So are there 10 unmonitored bots? Seems to hit 10 sold before 1 minute elapses every time.
@guybrush01 20+ IRKbots, it seems.
@guybrush01 I’d almost say at least 3 since 3 sold in 10 seconds.
@guybrush01 I guess these bot coders will have to add an additional condition for $5 limit LOL, idiots.
@guybrush01 @Tiamat114 This is a wonderful way to punish bots, and I hope they’re getting some useful data on them too.
$95! Took a hiatus all day and now that I’m back, it really has just kept going up. What a commitment to keep it going.
@ohheyitsmrwang “commitment”… yeah, that’s a word for it
@ohheyitsmrwang they have made money hand over first today compared to other irk offerings. Insane.
@ohheyitsmrwang well they did tell us at either the 8:30am IRK what was going on… why would anyone doubt Meh would suddenly change mid-day?
Wow
I’m waiting for 420
@lilsrm123 those will sell out in seconds…
or…
let me think about that for a bit
Sure glad I got mine at Midnight for just $5!!
@IndifferentDude I woke up at 7:57 and got an 8AM one now im even happier with myself for it.

Fuck.
This is so much fun, I almost forgot the final episode of Obi-wan Kenobi dropped today.
@blaineg yah just binge watched entire season.
** SPOILER ALERT **
I do not understand why Obi-wan did not kill Vader when he had the obvious chance. Well if he did, then none of the Star Wars movies would actually happen …
@blaineg enjoy it. Its a must watch piece of star wars magic. I teared up a couple times because it just hits in all the right places…at least for a kid that grew up with the prequels. Us fanboys needed this.
@hammi99 Besides that little detail, his objective was to protect Luke & Leia not kill his former friend & padawan.
Obi-wan’s growth through the series was done well.
@studerc Star Wars came out the year I graduated from high school, but I still feel like I grew up with it.
@blaineg despite the repeated “him or me” commentary . . . ?
@blaineg @hammi99
So, who’s idea was it to hide Vader’s kid on his home planet and stash him with his relatives? Genius!
@hammi99 @mike808 You know the last place you look for your keys?
@blaineg @hammi99 @mike808 I never know the last place I look for my keys. I’ve always already looked there at least half a dozen times.
@blaineg @mike808 best hiding spot for an elephant kinda thing . . . LOL
@blaineg @hammi99 @studerc @werehatrack
@hammi99 @mike808
Worked, didn’t it?
After all he hates sand.
@blaineg @hammi99 and he sucks at playing “The Floor is Lava”.
@blaineg @hammi99
@blaineg @hammi99 @studerc @werehatrack
@hammi99 @mike808 @studerc @werehatrack I’m pretty sure Vader would force choke even Leslie Nielsen for that one.
At this point, with ~190 days to use coupons, you gotta wonder how many orders someone would need to make per day to use all the coupons in time if they have bought every single box. My math is currently pegged at two, but that will change with the $100 IRK next.
@triavalon 1 coupon per order.
Find a $5 offering that you like. Place 20 individual orders and use a coupon for each one. Free and 1 day.
@triavalon They’re valid at SideDeal too… Could place lots of orders everyday using a coupon for each.
@triavalon If one buyer had scored once in every batch in the Thon, they would have 234 coupons. So, about one and a quarter purchases per day to use them all. However, given that they could have scored 30 IRKs in the last batch alone, The highest possible coupon total was far more ridiculous, 994.
Gamechanger. Next round, it’s $100…BUT, it’s not your ordinary IRK, it’s a Fukubukuro and it’s awesome.
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@studerc Nah.
@Kyeh dont ruin my dreams.
#Buyat100!
/image shutup and take my money
At this rate, you’ll have to place 0.10 orders a day to use all the coupons by the end of the year.
@medz not necessarily. if you want 3 of something, you can place 3 separate orders that day and use it up thrice as fast
What the hell did I just do? Been out all day and just signed on saw an irk bag of something and sprung for $95 plus shipping and tax and I have NOT A CLUE what I just purchased. Covid really destroyed my brain cells.
@TexterTusher You can cancel it …
@TexterTusher Gonna keep it?
@TexterTusher CANCEL-Cancel-cancel!!! This is a Meh April Fools’ Joke in June. Do NOT buy this IRK ay $95!!! Abort, abort, abort while you’re still in your hour to do so!!!
@TexterTusher
Maybe you’ll get a really cool pair of shoelaces or something.
@sammydog01 Afraid so. I always see my stupid decisions through to the last whimper of defeat and regret.
@RogerWilco Fingers crossed. I have long been yearning for a new pair of really cool shoelaces.
@RogerWilco @TexterTusher I hope you find some cool stuff to buy with your coupons. Condoms are on sale.
Oh shite! I just went back and read the product description. I just spent $ 95 plus for a but load of useless %5 coupons that I will never use. I just got the casino fever and hit the buy button. I was programmed to do this from way back when this was actual WOOT and I could never manage to score the bag of crap. Damn your eyes, MEH!
@TexterTusher you can always cancel your order. OR be a complete bad ass and roll those dice!
@studerc @TexterTusher live on the edge!
@TexterTusher Cancel the damned order, you have been PLAYED! (The writeup itself tells you that this is a crap-on-a-stick deal…)
At this rate I’m curious if they will sell out at 95… also no one can complain they didn’t get the chance to buy. 20 minutes in and they are still available
off course 95 May be a smidge much…
@placecm there will always be a whiner and complainer… of course with inflation these days, $95 really is like the old $6…
@placecm Dear god, are you as old as I am??
hehe, 20min in and IRK still available…he…he…he
Anyone know how long this insanity goes?
@SylvreKat
Till 11:59 eastern time, presumably. Or I guess if it’s still on the hour just until 11:00.
You may contact me if you would like to buy a $5 off coupon for $2. I only have 19 left!
Dollars to donuts at 10pm it hits $100 and at 11pm it goes back to $5
@MrMikenIkes How long have you been around here???
@CBL_WV back when woot was owned by the people who own meh. AKA too goddamn long; long enough where my wife told me I need to stop buying IRKs
@MrMikenIkes I concur!!
@MrMikenIkes Ohmygosh, I thought I was the only one who says “Dollars to donuts”! I have no idea where I ever learned it. Great to see another person say it, too!
I’m waiting for $100. Bragging rights!!
@phelmurh Good for you. Maybe it goes to $1000 and the joke’s on you!
So how much does a qualifying tattoo cost?
@blaineg First they have to open it up to new tattoos. I believe mine was right around $100. But of course the size, design, placement and artist will vary in price.
Impulse buy as I casually checked meh.com while traveling internationally. Then reading. Then realizing I will never use those coupons. And cancelling
And this is why I shouldn’t visit the site when I’m high. I know I can cancel but I’m just way too curious to see what comes. NO RAGRETS tattoo is coming next!
@Jthrock Just make sure that the one doing the deed doesn’t misspell it as “rugrats”.
Must be some hot craps tables in Las Vegas tonight…Nevada’s gobbling them up at $95, lol
11 mins a handful left…will it hold without a sell out?!
@studerc nop
@studerc sold out with 9 minutes to spare!! My
says the $100 IRK will also sell out! Staying up for the $5 IRK at 11pm ET! PFF and two canceled. TSK
@triavalon SON OF A BITCH. Whats wrong with people!?
2 cancellations after sellout so far.
I can taste $100
@phelmurh IRKbots assemble!
You know, I was always pissed off that I couldn’t buy an IRK. Now, I could have actually bought one. NO FREAKING WAY… $95.00. Get over yourself MEH. You already get too much of my $$$.
@Mandamm They sold out, so you can’t get one anyway.
Wait until 3 minutes from now when they put up the $100 IRKs.
@Mandamm 537 orders and no IRKs?!? wow
I got and as was promised…INSTANT REGRET.
@TexterTusher
HUZZAH!!!
Another satisfied customer. May your regret give you purpose in your pursuit of even more regret.
I was very disappointed in what I received for the 95 dollar price. Where are my coupons that were not included?
@serr The coupons were in an email that you should have received about two weeks ago. They’re codes that begin with the numeral 5, and at the $95 IRK level, there should have been 19 of them. Plus, there’s an additional code in the text of that email which you can’t use yourself, but can share with one other person of your choice who can use it to get $5 off of a single purchase on SideDeal or Meh.
@serr Contact meh.com/support if you can’t find the email. Be sure to check your spam folder.
