@theonlybuster interesting. Never thought to try that on an irk.
Thank you.
Although, is there a way to get to the forum area to do a buy immediately. Usually when a post first opens it takes a few seconds for that link to appear… Hmmm… Gonna try it anyway, nothing to lose.
VoP hiccups and looks at stupid "stupid"responds you just canceled your plastic cards “VoP” you called to request replacements? “stupid” yes but they’re days out!
Is it true that the IRKs aren’t worth getting any more? I’ve only ever gotten two during my many years on this site (back when they were supposed to be fun) and I didn’t get anything that improved my life even the tiniest bit. I’ve gotten the impression that they contain less fun and useful stuff now.
No one try to win one please. If you see one ignore it.
Thank you.
At least wait until I have one please. I need a spare foodsaver again… Although this rounds irk is probably going to be filled with broken bags of pasta.
@Pamela doesn’t the name tell you everything you need to know?
My last one was a 300lb Trailer Dolly with a fitness tracker, wireless charging pad and some other stuff. Full retail value was easily >$100. Plus the shipping on that box musta been $$$.
…and yet, regret is practically guaranteed. I live in the city, wtf am I gonna do with a trailer dolly?
Don’t buy an IRK for a high end desirable electronic device. Buy one for a decades old XM Satellite receiver, and chuckle when you get it.
@Pamela theyre super hit or miss. I’ve had practically garbage ones (think broken, used, and returned ear pods with ear wax in them)… and I’ve had ones with an awesome air fryer, or a nice piece of luggage, or even a shark robo vac once… im really not a gambler, but the $5 is absolutely worth it.
@jhinra Trade your trailer dolly with your mechanic and get some free auto repair. That is what I did. Had I still my 14’ sailboat I would have kept it and used it. But alas I had to sell it. Or post it on craigslist and sell it that way. Actually it is pretty nice and at least in my case it all the parts were there and it wasn’t banged up despite the condition of the box.
@whomeyesu Meh, last time I stayed up watching for IRKs, caught a few…and they were sold out before my slow internet could get to the purchase screen. So not worth the gamble.
I will say this, though…I was filled with instant regret for even trying. That’s some impressive delivery speed.
I paid for membership on the 15th (2 days ago) and canceled it this morning. My account isn’t showing any record of it nor giving me the free shipping? Am I supposed to get a refund? or free shipping til the end of the month?
@chewyz_me contact customer support. They’re usually pretty helpful. No idea if they’ll refund you or not, but I’ve found them helpful the few times I’ve contact them.
Oh crap, I’ll be missing most of this, right in the middle of a work crunch, Maybe I can catch up on some of it toward the end tomorrow night - thanks for the ICYMI feature, as long as it’s not sold out.
@willdavi I was wondering also if there would be one, making it 3 months in a row. I went to bed early too, just could not keep my eyes open. They sure opened when I read the e-mail this morning!
I went back to purchase a few items, they all say ‘too late’. Not sure if they’re bought out as it says, or if they’re not sold out, which I think it would say ‘sold out’. Glitch, or gone?
@Sugaree1956 before the current membership program there was a VMP membership. Similar kind of thing, but sometimes they send you branded socks or shirts.
A few years ago they made it so that if you let your membership lapse you can’t stay a VMP- and no way to become a VMP now. So VMPs are the oldest most loyal customers- they’ve kept their membership going nonstop for years. - I was one, but I’m not so loyal- if I haven’t bought anything in a while I cancel my shipping membership.
VMPs have a “V” in their shield icon instead of a heart.
@chadp tell the webmaster guy to have the VMP hour on a secret subsite next time. Like have some crap product on the main page for 1 hour with some secret nod to the VMPers. Then we all can go to meh.com/vmp-hour to get the VMP-only deals in the mehrathon. Less questions and frustration for the noobs!
Meh, please tell yourself that it’s not good to fuck o over real VMPs who complain. I’m really ready to throw in the towel & your five bucks a month, even after all these years.
@tnywatkns VMP is for the people who have been with the site since the start. It was the old membership that has since been changed to what it is today. You would have a V in chat instead of a heart.
I saw this M-thon start at midnight (went to bed not long thereafter) and have not seen a single item I wanted to order in the ensuing hours - I don’t bother to even try for IRKs, because my last few were so bad - so I’m only here until I mess up a day and break my current streak. What a bunch of useless crap there is, not just here but everywhere. {/end grump}
@cbl_wv It will get better. Guarentee it. This Too Shall Pass. This old world has no where to go, but up. We have to all hang in there. One day at a time.
I did it. I was here almost the whole day, actively watching, thanks to work from home and a slow business day, yet I did not buy a single thing. Not one item convinced me to buy. I was ready to, I have money in the bank, but nothing. It was the most meh of meh-rathons. I remember the first one. Missed out on a Lego set and a lot of fukos. Or whatever they called irks at the time. Still pretty sure I bought something. It was a brave new time. Meh was still young. Not necessarily good ol’ days, but nostalgia clouds my memories.
Of all days…I was just thinking of the worst possible day to have a meh-rathon and today was it, lol. Well played.
Here we go again. It’s been, what, six weeks?
(cracks knuckles) Lets get started.
Oh god no
OH NO!!! Not again!!
/giphy oh no
Well this is random. All the businesses going under must have alotta cheap stuff.
@arbdef or cheap stuff for ridiculous prices.
@arbdef @whomeyesu or ridiculous stuff for slightly higher than ridiculous prices.
Didn’t need sleep tonight anyways
Why would I wait around for another IRK when my last one is floating around in the system somewhere?
@Felton10 I’m only here because it’s convenient due to insomnia. I have no hope of getting an IRK, my internet is far too slow.
@OnionSoup Use the [forward slash]buy option to make the purchase quicker.
@theonlybuster interesting. Never thought to try that on an irk.
Thank you.
Although, is there a way to get to the forum area to do a buy immediately. Usually when a post first opens it takes a few seconds for that link to appear… Hmmm… Gonna try it anyway, nothing to lose.
@OnionSoup
It won’t work.
@PastaDrop Yeah… got one the old fashioned way though…
/giphy woot woot woot
I wanted sleep.
/buy
@D_a_v_e Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re trying to buy. Make sure you’re posting in today’s deal topic.
You bastards. Leave my wallet alone!
Oh meh god. Again?!?
I used to think that I wanted these things more often… Well I don’t…
@jst1ofknd Thank you for putting into words what I was feeling.
Please feed the ponies this stuff is shipping on!
Ok I’m sure I’ll miss something good but if we’re playing the past deals game… Good night.
Not doing the feed of past deals that are still live this time?
@denton LOL nvm
NOOOOOOOOoooo (as he grabs his wallet and coffee).
Is this our lives now? Bouncing from one Meh-rathon to the next?
@lowlypeon this wasn’t how you were living before?
/giphy weak
I’m gonna keep doing them
@vinuash
@vinuash You can recycle this one for the AirPod ripoffs.
@vinuash
@TBoneZeOriginal never
@vinuash
@vinuash
@vinuash plug em in
VoP hiccups and looks at stupid "stupid"responds you just canceled your plastic cards “VoP” you called to request replacements? “stupid” yes but they’re days out!
Hey meh. How about delivering the shit I bought last time, or giving me a refund?
@jzmacdaddy lol
@jzmacdaddy Surely you jest.
I didn’t even want to sleep tonight anyways! Wwg1wga
Someone forgot to send the vmp heads-up email.
@medz nah they said “frick off lame o’s”
Still waiting on my stuff from the last one. It’s been like a whole month now. angry face
Prediction.
A bunch of irks are going to get sent to foodbanks because people forget to change address post pastadrop.
Is it true that the IRKs aren’t worth getting any more? I’ve only ever gotten two during my many years on this site (back when they were supposed to be fun) and I didn’t get anything that improved my life even the tiniest bit. I’ve gotten the impression that they contain less fun and useful stuff now.
@Pamela in my opinion they’ve gone down hill in zany-ness Overall. First one I was sent a broken vacuum. I’ve gotten working food sealers.
The newest have been… eh. Bag, socks… the reveals are less wowing. But I could have just been lucky… overall I think they’re still worth 5 to gamble
@Pamela yes. Everyone should pass on the Irks.
No one try to win one please. If you see one ignore it.
Thank you.
At least wait until I have one please. I need a spare foodsaver again… Although this rounds irk is probably going to be filled with broken bags of pasta.
@Pamela My last one had about 20 USB cords and that’s all.
@Pamela doesn’t the name tell you everything you need to know?
My last one was a 300lb Trailer Dolly with a fitness tracker, wireless charging pad and some other stuff. Full retail value was easily >$100. Plus the shipping on that box musta been $$$.

WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
@Pamela I got one yesterday. It had one item that made it worth 10x the value I paid.
@Pamela I’ve gotten really good stuff mostly. I usually end up selling it at garage sales and recoup way more than I spend.
@jhinra Trade your trailer dolly with your mechanic and get some free auto repair. That is what I did. Had I still my 14’ sailboat I would have kept it and used it. But alas I had to sell it. Or post it on craigslist and sell it that way. Actually it is pretty nice and at least in my case it all the parts were there and it wasn’t banged up despite the condition of the box.
Is a Random box of maybe 1 useful or possibly not broken item of high value. Take the gamble so I won’t have too.
@whomeyesu Meh, last time I stayed up watching for IRKs, caught a few…and they were sold out before my slow internet could get to the purchase screen. So not worth the gamble.
I will say this, though…I was filled with instant regret for even trying. That’s some impressive delivery speed.
sleep? who needs it!
@dave @shawn is ICYMI a regular thing? Any progress/discussion on adding the end date/time that the deal is featured to the API?
I paid for membership on the 15th (2 days ago) and canceled it this morning. My account isn’t showing any record of it nor giving me the free shipping? Am I supposed to get a refund? or free shipping til the end of the month?
@chewyz_me free shipping stops the moment you cancel it.
@OnionSoup I hope I’m getting a refund then!
@chewyz_me contact customer support. They’re usually pretty helpful. No idea if they’ll refund you or not, but I’ve found them helpful the few times I’ve contact them.
Oh crap, I’ll be missing most of this, right in the middle of a work crunch, Maybe I can catch up on some of it toward the end tomorrow night - thanks for the ICYMI feature, as long as it’s not sold out.
Anyone else going to comment on the diddling kids thing?
@MTJonny “and I would have got away with it too if it wasn’t for meh diddling kids”
/giphy Scooby Doo reveal
Geez you guys got a lot of crappy battery packs to get rid of. What happened, did you run of of crappy drones to sell?
All your “Product Specs” links from previously offered products are going to the earbuds
You know, I had a weird feeling there would be one today. But I went to bed at 11:45pm. I’m an idiot
@willdavi
@sammydog01 MEANIE!!! You better make up for yesterday and buy everything
@willdavi
@sammydog01 DO ITTTTTTTTT! You know you want to
@willdavi I was wondering also if there would be one, making it 3 months in a row. I went to bed early too, just could not keep my eyes open. They sure opened when I read the e-mail this morning!
I’m just waiting for the 360 camera.
I sure hope you offer a bluetooth speaker
These are clutch!
…or more charging purses…just can’t get enough of those!
I went back to purchase a few items, they all say ‘too late’. Not sure if they’re bought out as it says, or if they’re not sold out, which I think it would say ‘sold out’. Glitch, or gone?
@Felyne
If they were sold today and they say “too late”, then they sold out.
@PastaDrop TY!
I love these marathons, and tomorrow is payday woot. Meaning a person has money today. haha
I really need another of these SWIFFER CONTINUOUS AIR PURIFIER. Best thing ever. I can find them on amazong and such they are price gouged bad.
Re: Meh-delling kids - Telekinesis. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
and yes, I get that it’s a joke
Isn’t that just convenient? I just got the last of my orders from the last one 2 days ago.
@cobracat03 It’s Convieeeeeeeeent…
Will there be wine?
@wmhatch Maybe we bought wine glasses, went all out at the Dollar Tree, and some Elderberry wine. It’s good.
Well the IRKs are extra infuriating today
What is a vmp member? Thanks and such.
Can some one say whats a VMP ?
@Sugaree1956 before the current membership program there was a VMP membership. Similar kind of thing, but sometimes they send you branded socks or shirts.

@sdb4u99 or, we are awesome.
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
I tried to buy the most ugly shoes for flower planters and it wouldn’t let me.
@chadp tell the webmaster guy to have the VMP hour on a secret subsite next time. Like have some crap product on the main page for 1 hour with some secret nod to the VMPers.

@gertiestn I’m not with meh, but what seems to be the trouble, buddy?
IS THERE A GROWN-UP AT MEH PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO THIS SHIT?
Wanna see how much I can post?
@gertiestn Okay.
Any other VMP members being told they’re not members? Tried signing out and back in to now avail…
@tnywatkns You are just a member. VMPs are something else.
@tnywatkns VMP is for the people who have been with the site since the start. It was the old membership that has since been changed to what it is today. You would have a V in chat instead of a heart.
@medz Yea I see that now after reading some other threads. It is what it is I guess.
What’s going on? A new deal every 20 min?
So after the last mehrathon of pure disappointment, I didn’t bother checking for a VMP IRK. Did I miss anything?
What time does this end?
@Dakini in one hour, I’m 99% sure. (11:00 CST)
I saw this M-thon start at midnight (went to bed not long thereafter) and have not seen a single item I wanted to order in the ensuing hours - I don’t bother to even try for IRKs, because my last few were so bad - so I’m only here until I mess up a day and break my current streak. What a bunch of useless crap there is, not just here but everywhere. {/end grump}
@cbl_wv It will get better. Guarentee it. This Too Shall Pass. This old world has no where to go, but up. We have to all hang in there. One day at a time.
A lot of items said too late. It’s over. I thought I could buy them for the whole day.
@natekimh You could have if they were not sold out.
I did it. I was here almost the whole day, actively watching, thanks to work from home and a slow business day, yet I did not buy a single thing. Not one item convinced me to buy. I was ready to, I have money in the bank, but nothing. It was the most meh of meh-rathons. I remember the first one. Missed out on a Lego set and a lot of fukos.
