Expected the speaker dock- write-up and extra item definitely weren't expected. Figured the write-up would go "Fine! We give up! Have your stupid speaker dock." or something similar.
Should you decide to have another speaker dock, it should be paired with something more outrageous- maybe a Samsung Galaxy Tab or a Windows Phone?
Item price + shipping should be under $200 to gather Korean customers because of Korean customs. Under $200, there are no import charge & VAT. That's why Koreans clink on "meh" for 'kinda' expensive Items. One more thing is if meh.com checks ppomppu.co.kr, and find out what kind of stuffs are being sold out, meh will make a lot of profit :D Hint. Logitech Mobile Boombox
The devices with under200$ such as usder 199.99$ would be perferct to buy for foreign customers(especially for Koreans) due the the customs....good site, anyway, I will check the site regulary....and wish good devices with good price...
I don't think meh wants to take over the world, so korea needs to start it's own meh-san site.
Anyway, I am forced to whine about this deal. Not the meh-tastic price we've become used to, and why no option for the dock by itself? Got the ipads, need the dock, and it seems a bit silly to take the deal, and throw the pad out with the packaging.
In the grand experiment world of meh, this one sure seems like a flop. Split 'em up boys...:-)
I would totally pull the trigger on this as I've been looking for an iPad Air and this is a fantastic price. Too bad it comes with that speaker dock. Just can't do it.
Awww man. Earlier today Best Buy had a better price. Price matching Best Buy means Meh = all the other stores. Sniffle. And I thought you were special.
Ah, you've got me! Of course, I don't make a point to check BB shortly after midnight, I pay no shipping, get immediate gratification for a short drive to the store, and the kid I buy it from gets to keep his albeit low paying job. Plus I just don't need another dock.

안녕하세요 다시, 친구
Oh shit, it's growing!
Speaker dock AND iPad...meh, already have
Couldn't meh fast enough..
Seriously, @marklog? sigh.
When is the dock + Roomba combo coming?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
CHEAP THINGS
AHHHHH!!....Again!....We are doomed!
Let every Friday on meh from now on be known as Speaker Dock Friday. I just hope they start selling one that is for something other than iCrap.
.#SDF Sadly hahah
isnt every single dock every created for "something other than iCrap"? they all have 3.5 jacks... every one
mzoltek, well technically it isn't a dock if you plug something in via the 3.5 dock, then is it just a boring old speaker
Dammit meh. #SDF have taken over. WATCH THERE BE 1000's SOLD
When is the Roomba ipad dock coming? Where I dock my ipad into my Roomba and it carries my ipad around with the utmost inconvenience to my usage?
You're selling an iPad with a tumor. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, MEH!
HEY! YOU GIVE MY MEH FACES BACK! (Seriously, I would like to screenshot them before you take them away forever.)
The plan is to let you navigate through previous months, but we haven't built it yet and it's @marklog's fault.
Should be part of your profile. Here's mine.
DAMN YOU @marklog!! (TL:DR, @marklog fingered his dog)
sorry. put it on the list.
I don't think I have a profile. I have an order history, and a change password page.
@daver This Link should work.
@JonT No meh faces. That is the page I referred to as the change password. [spoiler]
?8201[/spoiler]
@daver It's at the bottom of the main page, since it's a new month if you didn't click meh today you won't see any faces.
@harrison - Any chance of doing a de-meh-lition for half of the products on offer?
this please.
Plenty of people have dismantled iPads. I'm more interested in new frontiers of destruction.
오...저렴한건가?

여긴...어떻게 이런짓을 할 수가 있지??
왜이렇게 싼거야?!!!
"It's ... How can you do something like this?? Why are you so cheap?!"
^^Translation
Apple is rumored to be coming out with a new iPad next month. Probably selling off old inventory.
So far so good. Stay strong!
If we all make a gentleman's (and lady's) agreement not to buy this, what do we win?
Speaker docks
How much for just the ipad?
Nope, it says very clearly: You can't just buy the iPad Air and tell us to keep the speaker dock
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=1780284&pid=1219063718828&pcatId=pcmcat209000050006
Exactly the price shown after you throw away your unused speaker dock.
@jont How much for the little girl?
@Ryaneil, thanks for that-- tempting, especially with tax free season.
Meh might have made Apple products unmarketable. That would be amazing.
At this point I just want to see how many weeks (months? years?) Meh is able to keep selling JBL speaker docks on Fridays.
New iPads coming out in a month... no go.
They will come out no earlier than October, so at least 2 months to go.
I could not stop laughing when I saw this.... You are trying to Trojan horse the speakers.... Just sad...
Someone better buy this shit, or else we'll be seeing them again and again and again.
No, you have it backwards. The fact that we keep seeing it is because people keep buying it!
This is the turducken of ipads and speaker docks.
You can't compare speaker docks to something delicious and genius.
@JonT Turducken was only delicious on AA.
@PurplePawprints must have seen my comment on shirt.woot tonight.
@JonT - It does have the word "turd" right in there...
@Thumperchick I didn't, I just have been around Woot long enough to know what turducken refers to. Wasn't at Woot last night though.
More like Tofurkey.
Must be dock Friday .
As long as it's not docking Friday.
One person bought this deal.... He should be punished accordingly !
We all know how to blame. It was probably @marklog.
@JonT Are you sure EVERYONE knows how to blame??
How to blame, who to blame... all I know is one person lost their mind.... @marklog! You got some ‘splainin’ to do!
Hey now, nothing's been made official. I propose we continue to blame @ryaneil until directed otherwise.
edit: bleat.
This person shall be punished with a speaker dock.
아이패드 빼고 도크만 판매했으면 좋았을텐데...
저 가격이면 관세 때문에 주문하기 어려움....-_-;
So, uh, how does this equal 100.0% didn't bite? If one person bought, clearly that's a lie.
Rounding. Or something.
한국으로 물건을 들여올때
전자기기의경우 $200가 넘으면
10%의 세금을 추가로 내야해
지난번 아이폰 스피커독이 많이 팔려서
이번것도 기대하고 있다면 실망할지도 모르겠군
스피커독만 따로 판매했다면 좋았을텐데~
Based on what I could gather from a crappy translator, I think he's saying this sale will backfire on Meh.
But that if the speaker dock was sold separately, that would have been nice... Apparently there is still a need for speaker docks....
Yes!! That's it! Maybe another rush from Korea will happen if Meh sold the speaker dock only.
"it's... If the prise over $200 when the product imported to korea, It charge 10% tax.
If you expect that this deal is going well with korean beacause of last dock deal, you might be disappointed.
Item price + shipping should be under $200 to gather Korean customers because of Korean customs. Under $200, there are no import charge & VAT. That's why Koreans clink on "meh" for 'kinda' expensive Items. One more thing is if meh.com checks ppomppu.co.kr, and find out what kind of stuffs are being sold out, meh will make a lot of profit :D
Hint. Logitech Mobile Boombox
It's nice to see you. I'm another ppomppu guy.
Best Buy $399.00 just the iPad
Add in tax in most places and your getting the dock for about $20 on meh

Nobody likes a tattle-tell @Ryaneil....
Total meh. Where are the $2 power squids? The screaming monkeys?? You know - the stuff we really want to buy.
Only products under $ 200
Because customs duty. (KOREA)
OK? ^^
The devices with under200$ such as usder 199.99$ would be perferct to buy for foreign customers(especially for Koreans) due the the customs....good site, anyway, I will check the site regulary....and wish good devices with good price...
Meh doesn't ship internationally so it does Korea no good regardless.
air가 없다면 사는거 추천합니다.
이 가격에 배송비 해도 air사는값만 든다고 생각하시면
되요. 스피커독은 그냥 딸려오는가격.
Meh, I'll bite.
Why would you do that?!
한국에서 주문하면 관세가 얼마나 붙을까요?
Well said sir, well said.
I wish meh.com make the bond between USA & Korea(not North) more stronger. So, how about selling the speaker dock separately?
@BreathTaker They are working on someone to help out with that. They posted a job the other day for it.
I don't think meh wants to take over the world, so korea needs to start it's own meh-san site.
Anyway, I am forced to whine about this deal. Not the meh-tastic price we've become used to, and why no option for the dock by itself? Got the ipads, need the dock, and it seems a bit silly to take the deal, and throw the pad out with the packaging.
In the grand experiment world of meh, this one sure seems like a flop. Split 'em up boys...:-)
You don't have to throw it out. One mans trash is another girls treasure.
We're price-matching Best Buy's $400 sale on the 16GB iPad to maintain the integrity of our experiment. You still have to take the speaker dock.
(The previous victims, er, purchasers will get the lower price, too.)
Yay! I don't need one of these, but the price-matching is a good move on Meh's part, especially for existing orders.
@dave, I see what you did-- I can drive to BB, instant gratification but no speaker dock, or get the speaker dock, and a long wait.
@WaltC I think they set the experiment up with Best Buy to see if they could drive traffic to a brick and mortar store.
@WaltC Having the option to just get the iPad keeps the experiment to the speaker dock true. (I hate short character limits.)
@wisenekt, interesting idea-- clever, diabolical, I like it-- the experiment worked with me.
Update on the number-crunching at Meh:
It rounds it off so it seems even more depressing.
experiment so successful we need another decimal point!
The product is awful.
I'm kind of disappointed in meh offering so many speakers.
Disappointed in meh. You either totally get it, or you don't get it. I hope that you totally get it.
I would totally pull the trigger on this as I've been looking for an iPad Air and this is a fantastic price. Too bad it comes with that speaker dock. Just can't do it.
You could sell that speaker dock on eBay to someone in Korea...
not as fun
we want without pad...
maybe we can work something out. I can internationally ship as well...
@marklog You're the scapegoat to our problems... badum tss.
Meh.
So much for cheap things from Meh. Perhaps sometime later in the month cheap things that I really don't need but will buy anyways will come back.
The speaker dock makes for a convenient facetime stand.
Awww man. Earlier today Best Buy had a better price. Price matching Best Buy means Meh = all the other stores. Sniffle. And I thought you were special.
Did Best Buy disappoint you by including a speaker dock?
to be fair, I believe we had a better price for an hour, then Best Buy beat us so we matched their iPad price with our bundle.
also worth noting that I'm blaming this on @Ryaneil as his final bad act of July.
.
@snapster just checked ^, no goat no blame. All @marklog s fault.
Ah, you've got me! Of course, I don't make a point to check BB shortly after midnight, I pay no shipping, get immediate gratification for a short drive to the store, and the kid I buy it from gets to keep his albeit low paying job. Plus I just don't need another dock.
Don't think of the pimply faced brat... Every item you don't buy at a big box store employs another web developer.
the last point is key - you may pass, friend.
@marklog I would think it would be another warehouse associate, until the robots take over completely.
And the kid at the bb store uses his/her meager salary to go to school to become a web developer... and the cycle continues. Woe is me.

I didn't even notice the ipad. I glanced at the pic, saw the speaker dock, said "another fuckin' dock?" and clicked meh.
Question. Can I just buy the power adapter?
This thread is hilarious :)
Next time let me know ahead before doing deals for $400+ I gotta save money for an iPad!
