Memorial Day Irk reveal
19Why do we buy irks? I know this question has be posed many times. Because as much as we complain that they are so regretable that the donation organizations dread me driving up. Every once in a while, the meh gods throw you a bone. This day had started off so bad. My best friend is getting married on Saturday. North Texas storms have delayed the wedding party getting here all day as they are coming from California, Florida, Virginia, and Arkanas. Currently my niece’s flight from Little Rock is delayed 3 hours. But enough about that, the silver lining in all this doom and gloom. That cheerful little chirp on my phone alerting me that a package from fedex is on my doorstep.
Not, the normal sized irk box that I am used to. Taped over and over again. Has a label on the outside with the Braun logo on it and another handwritten label “Arlen”. Inside; Khaki and blue irk bag, inedible gingerchews, Color changing nail polish, Ladies size M black tshirt, (niece will be able to wear), package of fresh paper produce savers (I’ve been curious about those but not enough to actually buy them), and the big thing, a Braun Blender. I haven’t take it out of the box it see if it’s useable but still a great deal. Thanks Meh! Photos in the next comment.

@ironcheftoni nice!!! Fingers crossed the blender works!!!
@ironcheftoni Congratulations! It’s gone to a good home!
@ironcheftoni Those chews are potentially edible. (Or are biodegradable packing peanuts)
@pakopako and i have used them for packing peanuts before too.

Good score!
Wedding gift on Meh…
@Lynnerizer the wedding was beautiful. The brides were so happy. But of course not without a little more drama. My power went out again on Friday. I packed my kitchen up and baked two cakes at the house that was included with the wedding venue where the out of town wedding party was staying. Saturday morning, it did start raining a little but stopped right before the outdoor ceremony. Cakes I baked were for the after party. Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream and a lemon curd filling for bride 1. Yellow cake with chocolate buttercream for bride 2.
@ironcheftoni @Lynnerizer
Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream and a lemon curd filling
That sounds so delicious!

I’m excited for a strawberry festival this weekend near me. I just found out about it today and the 20 plus pictures of strawberry items that are expected to be there literally made my mouth water!
Hopefully we’ll get there!
@ironcheftoni @Lynnerizer Nice! I hope you do! We have a peach festival nearby in August.
@ironcheftoni Niiiiice!
mine arrives tomorrow, I will post my regret
@jchizmar Mine is still processing.
That was quick and a decent haul… Supposedly mine arrives tomorrow which is pretty quick… Probably fastest one has arrived for me.
Mine is due to arrive on Saturday-fingers and toes crossed.
Sidedeal IRK,
orange
![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Green Irk bag
Sm ladies terry shorts,
Passport wallet
Adirondack 3in1 charging station
Itouch explorer 3 watch
AND:
Deebot n3+ vacuum (refurbished)
Guess that vacuuming is my karma today, because I got a BOC today, from last Thursday, that included a wireless dust-buster style hand vac and a vacuum/sealer.
@lonocat
Nice - you’ll have the cleanest house in town! (And fresh food!)
That BOC was a win for $9.99!
I’m late to the party from the Mehrathon but I got:
Irk bag
Sexy sheer ladies shorts
cigarette lighter chargers
A really nice set of pots and pans.
@madmatt2112 Pots and Pans can be pretty pricey- so if they’re nice ones that’s a good score.
Out of curiosity… those who received Irks already- did you get a weight on your tracking info- or did it stick with the 1lb placeholder?
@OnionSoup mine had the standard placeholder, small size dimensions listed
@lonocat @OnionSoup My cuisinart food processor from SideDeal showed 1lb, as did the Meh package, and definitely weigh more than that
@OnionSoup Standard placeholder.
I just got my Irk and it was probably the best one I’ve ever received, and one of the cheapest too!
I got a Cuisinart Chef’s Classic 5 1/2 qt sauce pan, a purse that can be either a smallish shoulder bag or a biggish wristlet/clutch, a pair of Ann Taylor sunglasses, two tubes of mascara from Mented, two USB car chargers, and the red and green irk bag.
I won’t use the sunglasses (I wear glasses) or the car chargers, but I will definitely use the other stuff, especially that big ass pan.
@shaunanl Most (quality) sunglasses these days can take prescription lenses. Though I wouldn’t put any in no-name/knockoff frames.
@shaunanl @ShotgunX You can have almost anything relensed, I’ve had this place do it a couple times: https://www.39dollarglasses.com/help/re-lens/your-old-frame
@Bretterson @shaunanl @ShotgunX LOL, I’ve just gone bonzo on Zenni when I had good discounts, and made up multiple prescription shades for about $10/ pair.
Of course, then I discovered I can’t switch glasses while driving, even for a second, without severe alarm (I’m pretty damn blind).
@brainmist @shaunanl @ShotgunX Eep. Sounds like someone needs Transitions.
@Bretterson @shaunanl @ShotgunX Nah, I’m better having lots of cheap glasses than some expensive ones that will get stepped on, lost, or eaten by the dog.
1 green irk bag
1 pack of dog wipes
1 pair of wireless tv headphones. i guess i have to use them for the tv
1 2-pack of smart light bulbs
1 Mia K purse
1 sonic facial brush, with UV sterilizer
pretty solidly meh, maybe the purse and the brush are nice but i wouldn’t have any idea
@omally Can you post a pic of the TV headphones? Those can be a really helpful option if you know couples with either one insomniac, or one hearing impaired person.
Mine arrived… I’m working so won’t post a photo until later… but…
1 Green Irk Bag.
1 Women’s Black V-Neck Tshirt (which might fit my wife, she hasn’t tried it yet… not her size but holding it up to her looks like it might fit). Will go nicely with the red skirt I bought her recently if it fits.
1 Opened (but looks unused) pack of teeth whiteners.
1 “Stackable” plant pot. (bottom pot you put water in, and top pot wicks water up to plant).
1 Black Pair of Bamboo Underwear… WOO HOO… Bamboo! Score! It might be slightly small though- size smaller than I’ve bought from meh in the past. I may have to eat a few less burgers for a while.
2 Packs of impossible to peel ginger chews
1 Beige 13" Macbook Pro cover… I have a 13" macbook from work that I’ve had less than a month… quite bizarre meh sent me this. It’s like they’re psychic.
Overall, really not a bad IRK. The bags always get used… the clothes/macbook case might fit (we haven’t tried yet)… I have yellow teeth from drinking umpteen cups of coffee a day- so whitener will be used. Wife likes those Ginger chews (I didn’t know this before opening the IRK and showing her) - and my middle child has dozens of plants in her room and will love another pot.
Potentially every single item received will be used. Not as cool as getting cookware or robot vacs like those above, but still one of my better IRKS and definitely worth the entry price of $13.something I take this as a win and a good deal… and I thank you Meh!
@OnionSoup I forgot … White noise machine too![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
@OnionSoup I actually bought that white noise machine. There are some decent sounds on there including more than white noise. I think it has pink noise and a few other “colors” and then some other sounds I have no idea why anyone would use them,
@Kidsandliz Yeah, hoping one of the kids will want it… I don’t use one, but I suspect someone will so it won’t go to waste.
Undies fit. Not even tight despite being size smaller
![:thumbsup:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
Wife hasn’t tried the shirt yet.
Just got my IRKs from Meh and Sidedeal. NO REGRETS!!! Best IRK to date!
@hockeyham Hi Eddie!
@hockeyham now will Eddie like the bag or the box more …
@hockeyham
Did you look inside the cuisinart box?
@hockeyham NICE SCORE!![:thumbsup:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
I got that same necklace last month in my IRK, I only wear sterling silver but it’s not really my style so it’s going to be gifted to someone…![:woman_shrugging:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-2640.png)

random microfiber cloth
@jchizmar nice, you have the produce saving paper!
@jchizmar What’s the pink thing under the jewelry?
@jchizmar @Kyeh
It looks like a jewelry pouch
@jchizmar @Kyeh @Star2236![:hibiscus:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f33a.png)
Yup, a jewelry pouch, that’s what it looks like to me!
@Kyeh @Star2236 yes, the jewelry set came in the pink pouch, it lays flit with sections then you can pull the drawstring to chich t up. Likely more.useful than the plated stainless jewelry
@jchizmar @Star2236 Okay, thanks. I found that set coincidentally when I was looking at Morningsave. The jewelry does look boring.![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
@jchizmar @Kyeh @Star2236 I like rectangular links… but goldtone? Nope.
Well, it couldn’t have looked less appealing, but everything seems OK.
I got a LEET ($13.37) SideDeal IRK and rec’d the following:
Found very little details on it but it looks cool! Similar items list at around $170 + so I guess I got my money’s worth. If anyone knows more about it feel free to share!
@IndifferentDude
Legit speedform models are usually worth a good chunk of change. You definitely may want to research that a bit further.
@IndifferentDude I got one of these as well and can’t seem to find the exact things online. Will post pics when I can.
@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude I got one too and have been trying to find it also. No luck yet
@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude @rm9116
@IndifferentDude @rm9116 @tinamarie1974 looks most like that red one except green, that wasn’t coming up in my searches, thanks!
@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude @rm9116 I did a google lens search and they came up. Maybe give that a try?
@IndifferentDude I got one too. Considering how it seems to be missing the black window details where the drivers seat would be, I wonder if these are misprints? Or maybe just fakes?

I found several videos on YouTube after doing the Google lens search. Looks like there is quite a few being sold on eBay too.
Enjoy! Vroom Vroom…
https://images.app.goo.gl/9LS7EV6jJjRGR2tY8
@Lynnerizer Yeah, I’ve found many similar ones but they all have a black top and aren’t solid green like the one I (and others) have received. Weird!
@IndifferentDude
) It’s a replica of the 69 Camaro I drove forever (my most favorite car ever) and it’s even STILL full of booze! (sealed and all, I’m 34 years sober
)
Yeah that is strange. What do you plan to do with it?Are you into model cars or just the ones you’ve received from Meh? And what others have you gotten from here? This is the first time I’ve ever seen them here.
The only model car I’ve held onto is the one I was gifted about 36 years ago. (There was a time when I was into building them but that was like 50+ years ago, ancient history. Lol
@Lynnerizer I’ll probably put in on eBay and see if there’s any interest in it. I used to put the model car kits together when I was a kid (over 50 years ago also!) back when it was EZ to catch a buzz from the glue if you weren’t careful!![:smile:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer Hmm, maybe that explains some things …![:thinking:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
![:rofl:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer I received one too… might gift it to my great nephew who loves cars… would be interested if ypu find the going rate. Mine did not come with a certificate of authentication…so doubt it is worth $500 in the link above:) and the link above says 1 of 6…
@IndifferentDude I got one too and based on this https://images.app.goo.gl/JZmNZvyqNPc5mzkf9 it looks like its headed straight for the trash as it’s missing the entire top piece.
@IndifferentDude @Superman You could probably still find someone who’d want it; someone who’s into building model cars could probably make something cool with it.
@IndifferentDude @Kyeh Possibly, would have been pretty sweet if it was complete.
@IndifferentDude @Superman

AH HA… the glue days…
On another note… Has there ever been a thread here on Meh for trading or selling IRK items?
@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer
On occasion people have started them for specific items and the person who wanted the item offered a trade or offered to pay more than postage. People also do that in whispers too.
@IndifferentDude @Superman The speedform is pretty cool, but it does seem like an error. I’d take it off your hands if it doesn’t cost much to ship.
@IndifferentDude Y’know. This could be a cool opportunity for a Meh remodel contest. Finish your model to represent some aspect of Meh.
This was a Sidedeal IRK
I got the green IRK bag
Mens socks for cold weather
Men’s underwear L one pair
Women’s Jammie top by Born
Fresh paper for your veggies
And I got a lamp! It’s nice!
![enter image description here][1]
[1]:
@funsyd I like your wallpaper!
@Kyeh thanks! Previous owners work that I love.
I also got one of the Speedform Aston Martin Valkyrie scale models…seems VERY nice, well made, heavy…but no information online that I can find! It’s a really pretty metallic blue-green color. It almost looks like it was made for a trade show or car show.
In amongst the original shipping box was some more ‘standard’ IRK fare:
@PooltoyWolf Hey, that’s great that you got one of the model cars!
@Kyeh It’s certainly not something I’d expect to get in an IRK! A very cool piece, and from my limited Googling, it seems these were possibly given to people who ordered the actual $3 million supercar! Now I just have to convince people I own that one, too.![:sunglasses:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png)
@PooltoyWolf
Oh, of course - you just leave it at your other house in Monte Carlo.
@Kyeh Might be easier to just buy a (Chevy) Monte Carlo!![:joy:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf do you have a link to that finding? Thanks!
@PooltoyWolf same same!
@Brove2023 @Kyeh It was mentioned in this video:
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf All it takes to convince people you own the real one is gather a bunch of cardboard boxes (possibly from Meh purchases), add a tarp, and buy the branded clothing. How could it possibly go wrong?
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo if only it wasn’t missing the entire piece that goes on top of it.
@Kyeh @Superman @xobzoo Hmmm?
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo In the video you can see they are all missing the black piece that shows the windows: https://images.app.goo.gl/JZmNZvyqNPc5mzkf9
@Kyeh @Superman @xobzoo Huh, odd…
The star of any IRK is the IRK bag tbh. I have never had quite as good a haul as this time around though.
Chefman 5qt Air Fryer with a thermometer so I can be lazy while my dinner cooks. Also has a high-fry crispy finish setting which may make it my primary Air Fryer in conjuction with my Chefman Sous-Vide I ordered from Meh March 5th 2018 at 6:59am ET.
Some repeat jewelery for the wife (which I will keep secret until the original gets damaged to surprise her). She really liked it and has worn it several times since V-day.
Bluetooth transmitter for my cheap-ass work jeep that doesn’t have Bluetooth or power door locks or windows.
And because it’s still an IRK - a large square of microfiber cloth whose function eludes me.
@Ceph4s The microfiber cloth might be a “cooling” towel that you get wet, put around your neck and it helps cool you by staying coldish. If it is black I got one of those. And another time blue one. A friend swiped both so I have no idea if they work but apparently they were tempting enough she took them.
@Kidsandliz
@Ceph4s Hmm I only got one with no packaging. They say drying towels and the photos shows cars so drying dishes, cars, pets… I’d guess.
Arrived! The Meh IRK-
An Amazon 6 day automatic pet feeder ($38)
A blood pressure machine ($20-30)
Queen sheet set ($28)
Kate spade wireless charger ($15)
Phone stand/charger ($30)
Green IRK bag (priceless)
I did spend over $50 on side deal so this is all without regret! No hand sanitizer, no trak’rs, no car port chargers!
@BergyD
You have been deprived!!!![:rofl:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
@Kidsandliz oh I have had them…… just not this box. Lol
SideDeal LEET IRK of sizing regrets:
![LEET IRK](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
1 Set of TENS massagers
1 Celsius black winter jacket with faux fur, size XL
1 pair of AC mauve (?) leggings, XL-2XL
1 King Art mini easel
1 yellow IRK bag
Regrets, I have a few, but that’s the name of the game! Others will make use of what I cannot. Thanks, meh!
@lehigh i got this same irk the last round!
Mine came today! A Cuisinart air fryer, 18k gold / pearl jewelry, a ladies watch, pair of size 7 sandals, an IRK bag, and a men’s zipper
Hoodie.
Definitely got my monies worth.
The worst IRKs are when they send you something that someone has obvious returned and doesn’t work and says there are no user serviceable parts.
That is one of the things I got in this IRK-a P2E powerblock 500 which when I plugged it in was DOA.
Didn’t really need it as I had bought the Coleman 1000 on meh about a month ago but why spend all the money on shipping for something that doesn’t work and get me all excited to be let down.
Other thing of any substance included was a “9 Piece Genuine Gemstone 18K Gold Plated Travel Jewelry Set” which was listed on the company’s website for $ 250 which means it is really worth $ 1.98. Actually is selling at Nordstrom Rack for $ 40 so my daughter should be able to recoup the $ 13 cost of the IRK.
@Felton10 There are probably several users here who would cheerfully front the shipping to snag that P2E and take a shot at resurrecting it.
@Felton10 If it weren’t so expensive, I’d say ship it to me and I’ll take a crack at repairing it! I could use some practice on something more modern…
@Felton10 @werehatrack Beat me to it.
@Felton10 @PooltoyWolf @werehatrack I know there was someone offering to pay shipping for this kind of thing so they can work on them; just can’t remember who.
@Felton10 I got one of the power stations as well… also DOA. Greek IRK bag, loose woman’s shirt, freshpaper, GFB bites, and an incipio 5000 mwh battery pack with mirror put into the power station box and retaped closed. And yeah, the P2EPB500 is clearly a dead refurb/return as it has scratches all over it. Unscrewed the sides off it to see if there was an obvious fuse or something, but no luck thus far.
I have a larger/newer Bluetti power block, anyway, so meh… will tinker with it further to see if I can figure out what’s dead.
@Medlir almost exactly what I got-pants instead of shirt, got fresh paper and GFB bites but got the jewelry which people are trying to sell on ebay for list of $ 250 but like I said Nordstrom rack is selling for $ 40 so my daughter listed it for $ 150 on ebay.
Not as adventuresome or handy as you are so the only thing I did was to try a new cord. Let me know if anything you do works.
Felt compelled to post for the first time in a long time. I miss you all!
SideDeal IRK arrived today. Fucking A got chills again, the excitement!
Box was for an 11pc Cuisinart Forever Stainless Steel Cookware set.
Sure as shit, there it was, brand new in the box.
I haven’t purchased cookware in a long, long time, so I’m pretty stoked on these new additions.
Also included, a pair of Grey shorts, a tan IRK bag, and a small Conair hair straightener.
Thanks, Meh!
@studerc if you have never cooked on stainless before, do some research. it is great but can be frustrating learning technique if you are using coated pans now.
Mods or staff - could someone please pin this topic so people post their Irk reveals here?
@ExtraMedium @Ignorant @narfcake @werehatrack
Muk Luks size 8 women’s!!! I live in Phoenix, AZ I always wanted a pair of Mukluks but I wear a 91/2…. Anyone want to trade?
Somehow I doubt they even come in that size but oh how cool it would be to have a pair for our lovely warm winters!
I also got a green meh bag, a battery storage case, kangaroo doorbell camera with its packaging opened and completely exposed, a cool looking brand new homedics back stretcher and warmer and massager ( wow-cool-do I need this?-ok, I’ll keep it).
Now this box was delivered by a Big White box truck …enterprise rent a box truck… and I didn’t hear it get delivered… so I wasn’t able to run outside to catch the driver to tell him not to go around the 2nd turn in our driveway that heads to the long deadend into the other side of the condo complex, because it’s a long road to nowhere ( other condos)and he will have to back out.
Yep… I heard a huge truck make the 2 turns after my c and then nothing. Almost 30 min later I could hear the distant sound of a truck beeping backing up the long driveway….and then into 6 empty spots to painstakingly go forward and back forward and back to turn the great big truck around.
He couldn’t do it. He needed a safety to help him back up but he was by himself. He gave up when another car appeared facing him, so he backed that truck out of two turns, and all the way back out into the street by himself. I bet he was royally pissed!!!
Fingers crossed on the mukluks![:fingers_crossed:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f91e.png)
@AZnatural1 I got Muk Luks size 11, but since I also wear a 9-1/2, they are too big. If you want to stuff some paper in them or wear puffy socks, you can have the pair I got.![:-)](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
@heartny hmm I’m going to pass or hold out for a 9.5… 11 I’ll be tripping over my feet in them. I’m small 5’5 with big feet as it is but thank you for reading my post and responding!
@AZnatural1 I got a pair of size 10s. I have no use for them in any size, so let me know if you want to work something out.
Maaaaannnnn I had low expectations….and we all know that’s the best way to go into buying any IRK….but let me tell you…I was actually pleasantly surprised by my IRK…not just one item…but ALL of the items….who would’ve thought that was possible???!!!???. Of course my box was cut open, taped, retaped, recut retaped and slightly revealed its contents….alas…it was in one piece and larger than expected…and inside I find a return receipt with someone else’s, name, address, and phone number of a Sr citizen listed on it (user wrote “item too heavy I’m a sr and can’t lift it”)…quality control failure here hahahaha…Past that…I find a BRAND NEW 9pc Calphalon space saving cookware set. Retailing at 259.99. As I begin to unpack the set I find a brand a IRK reusable bag, and most surprisingly I find an amazing beautiful 7 pc pearl set valued at over 250.00 dollars. What are the chances? And then a Naturlizer purse my kid just so happens to love (26.99) and a Conair ceramic flat iron (25.99) lol. I am in complete shock I got an IRK that worked…not to mention I was able to gift everything but the purse to my mom! Can’t lie…I feel like a winner today! Total value for my 49.99 IRK? Over 550.00 USD (not to mention I slid over to side deal and spent the 50.00 for a gift for my mom so this IRK is freeeeeeeeee)….actually my mom is the real winner today
@blankcanvas0587
It sounds like the Swamp Castle of packages. That seems very much in keeping with the traditions of the IRK.
Had a couple good IRKs in a row. This one? I regretted it. Pretty instantly. A white IRK bag. Ginger chews. An ugly olive green pocketbag. A sheet set I don’t need for a bed size I don’t have. A doorbell camera. (Wonder how waterproof it is. Maybe I can turn it into a birdfeeder camera?) And the “big ticket” item is a neck and shoulder massager. Maybe I know someone who would like it.![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
@Skipbidder If this is the worst one you’ve gotten, you’re pretty lucky. Nothing broken, used, dirty; no Trakrs!
@Skipbidder the doorbell camera is somewhat useless (I had the same; it was a return and the user didn’t cover the glue pad so it was stuck inside the box; batteries were dead).
The massager I’ve bought two here and, one return aside for being non-working, are very helpful when a hot shower won’t get all the kinks out. (Though being a deep tissue massage, at the default high spin levels, it does feel like I’ve been punched afterwards. At the lower speed levels, with heat on, it doesn’t feel as effective, but makes a nice warm blanket alternative.)
@Kyeh The last couple were above average, with stuff that was definitely useful for me. So it gets scored as a Regret in comparison. This one wasn’t bad in terms of having broken stuff or a bunch of trackers or TENS pads. But I’ll give away everything but the meh bag.
@Skipbidder I see a certain pea soupiness about the color theme, too.
@Skipbidder I got that massager in my last IRK and… did you try it out? Maybe try it out. It seems stupid and junky and I expected I’d be adding it to the junk pile, but it kinda works really pretty well for me. And I figured out that by raising/ lowering my arms, I could walk it up or down my spine.
Received my 1st box today. Second should arrive early next week. No dissapointment
Thanks Meh!
@tinamarie1974
What colors does it change to/from?
Oh, I see it’s pink in the bottle …
@Kyeh yeah not sure. I dont wear pink, but pretty sure my niece will want it![:blush:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)

Man do I regret not getting an irk![:tired_face:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f62b.png)
First time ever getting an IRK, an interesting variety and experience…
#1: Explorer3 smart watch
#2: Conair fabric shaver (Nic Cage not included)
#3: Unboxed Conair fabric steamer (still no Nic Cage)
#4: Unbranded(?) faux leather purse
#5: Blue IRK bag
And the piece de la resistance…![:laughing:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f606.png)
#6: A broken Sunbeam massager - where the shaft is literally broken off inside so it’s useless. Knew to expect random junk, just not literally broken
Coming home after a long workday in the early summer, noticed so many windows had buzzing air conditioners, but what’s on my welcome mat (other than a bunch of ants trying again to colonize it) … imagine an outdoor heater lamp (covered in ants); didn’t even have to look at the label to know this was Meh’s handiwork (for the 13.37 IRK).
The box is now indoors, bathing in bug repellant, as I figure out if I’m too pooped to be hungry or too hungry to poop. And at my current rate, I’ll probably open it up Friday (this or the next).
![opened box][1]![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
I can’t believe how accurate I am with my own lethargy.
It’s actually too hot (and too stormy) that I would want to test to see if it works, but the heater seems to have arrived in one piece (except the various screws clanging inside). Also came with a red fukuboro, an iPhoneX screen protector, a large chemise, and … JVC gummies? (Bluetooth 5.1 ear buds, not food.) This space heater might be great in the winter (reducing my gas use to just the water heater), but everything else is going to look for a home (that isn’t mine)
[1]:
Should’ve waited to unbox with my wife here, since I might have some 'splaining to do.
#1 A steam mop
#2 An inflatable travel pillow
#3 A pair of women’s tights, not my wife’s size
#4 A sports bra, also not my wife’s size
#5 A blue IRK bag.
Not the worst haul, not the best. Everything being forced into the badly battered steam mop package made the unboxing experience a little weirder than my previous ones. A lot of “Is this its own thing or part of the steam mop?” moments.
My Sidedeal LEET Instant Regret Kit arrived today, true to its name. Nothing for me, all for donation, as anticipated:
• Letsfit T3 Sleep Sound Machine
• Pair Universal Car Chargers
• Comfort Republic Apollo Trunk - Men’s Size L
• Active Club Leggings Women’s Size S/M
• Stacked Ceramic Tabletop Planters
• Muk Luks Black Boots - Women’s Size 11
• Green IRK Bag
The $100 SideDeal IRK was extremely expensive, so I guessed it would be choke full of disappointment.
I was right. The amount of disappointment was off the chart.
Contents:
Very dirty set of sheets.
A khaki IRK bag dirty from the sheets dirt.
Hard case for 13" MacBook
Aduro cigaret lighter car charger.
Aduro “accessories for AirPods” (just few blue silicone attachments.
Two small bags of ginger candy.
@Ark_kun OOOOF.
Can’t figure out how to post a pic, but here’s what I got in a dented TackLife Home S10 Pro Robotic Vacuum Cleaner box.
Said cleaner was the prize, I guess, but…we already have a very good robot cleaner we seldom use. Also, I discovered why this made it into the Sidedeal Irk. TackLife stopped making these in 2022, so no parts, accessories, service, etc. Also, the instructions said first to download the app. Well, I tried, but I was told my Android software is too recent to download the app - and I am using Android version 11! Off to Goodwill you go.
The green irk bag. I now have bags in neon green, dark green, orange, tan, blue and red. Amazing there are no duplicate colors. Maybe I can sell a complete set of these bags although they do come in handy for our trips to Aldi’s.
An XS t-shirt my wife can actually wear. Not bad quality, but the graphic looks like a Bad Hangover.
Diamond ear studs that have a whopping 1/10 k of diamonds. Goodwill
Earbuds. No brand name, no charging cord, no instructions, etc. I think no worky. It has been charging about 36 hours and the LEDs are just faintly blinking. Trash dweller
Last, but not least, and certainly the most entertaining was, well, I guess you would call it underwear for a lady (not me that’s for sure). Small, so maybe fits my wife, but…nah. Anyway, it is like a vintage girdle, but this one has the distinct advantage of a blown-out ass. Nothing there. Embarrassing to take to Goodwill. I might slip it into the mailbox of a neighbor I don’t like.
Nothing to see here, really, but just opening the box and laughing at the contents gave me $13.37 worth of fun.
@Sarisin I dunno, using those “delicates” as a prank would have a decent amount of value to me
I’m patiently waiting for my $50 box that will end up being free because of the other stuff my daughter and I bought. I use the irk bags for holding my reusable grocery bags. One in the car and one in the house and I switch them out all the time. Very handy.
I always enjoy reading the IRK Section.(My Fav.)
Thanks for your postings.
Some of you should think about writing in your spare time….
@el1c1a Actually its my typing and misuse of words that need help, but over the past 11 years have had over 75 letters to the editor posted in our local paper. And given that they will only post 1 letter of anyone per month-over an average of 6 a year is not bad. They post approx 60% of my submissions and I am on a first name basis with the letter editor.
They goofed up with this LEET Sidedeal IRK, not a single item was regrettable.
Not only that but the glass stuff was packed well so it wouldn’t break. That doesn’t usually happen.
@Vectors great score! I have several of the glass Tupperware. I love them.
@Kidsandliz Those are pretty damn sturdy, so it’d have been a challenge to break them. Nice score!
My leet irk arrived today. I’d managed to forget about it coming soon, so it was a nice little surprise when I got home. The box was not so little. After dragging it inside I saw a Homedics label so that made me less eager to open the box. I’m not too keen on massagers. If it had been some other electric device company or a kitchen related brand I would have torn open the box right away. I ate lunch and did some other stuff first. Eventually my curiosity built up enough to open the box.
The large Homedics item is a total recline massage cushion. Also got a gold jewelry set (which can apparently be harmed easily), Laura Ashley slippers (in my size but not my color pref.), a tablet stand, retinol night cream, and a red & green irk bag. I’ll look online for the massager instructions since none were included.
@mehla Wow, if it’s this one, that massage thing goes for $230 on A-zon. It looks nice, really. Here’s the manual: https://a.media-amazon.com/images/I/913JbSyfKHL.pdf
@Kyeh Yep, it’s that one. I saw that Amazon listing when I was looking up the manual. I’m using the massager right now. At first it wasn’t scanning me so the neck massage was actually massaging my skull, not a great feeling. On a second try it went too far down and dug into my shoulders. Fortunately the up and down buttons were working at this point so I got it to move up. I’ll have to try a massage lying down or reclining.
@mehla It sounds like it could be pretty neat once you get it adjusted!
@Kyeh @mehla
Wow that thing looks awesome.
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
A brand new mixer worth $200!! Also got Muk Luk boots, travel blanket gift set, baking pan (nice one), two pair of women tights, hunting ear muffs, flat hair iron and some small things.
Thank you @Meh! This was huge!! And what a pleasant surprise to find flat hair iron, pants, necklace and diet pills inside the mixer box. Thank you!!!![:tada:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f389.png)

Side Deal IRK - meh
Tablet cover (just like the one in Meh’s IRK
Indoor camera system, obviously a return. There’s two of us; he’s retired and I work part time at home, no pets. I can’t imagine what we would watch on the camera. But to make it better is a 3X hooded heavy sweatshirt. Black & gray bag.
MEH IRK - Car chargers, Tablet cover, a large pack of sandwich size plastic bags, a bracelet that can hold lotion or sunscreen, whatever. AND a 3-piece nestled set of luggage. Because of age and health, we can no longer travel anywhere that requires a suitcase, but we gave it to son & d-i-l because we owe them big time for helping out. Blue & orange bag.
@pooflady The recent luggage sets have been pretty damn nice. Score for the son & d-i-l!
Not much worth sharing
A 10 year old monitor, with shattered corner is about the most Meh thing ever.
@jml326 I’ll pass on a tip I got from another person while complaining about my busted HP LaserJet IRK. Best Buy will take back e-waste, though from their website, in many states it will actually cost money to give it to them. I know in my state, stores that sell these items have to take them back, and if you can find a local store that sells whatever shit brand this is, you may be able to offload it for free.
Best Buy Recycling Info
@DLPanther Thanks for the tip. Not too worried as I ship to my work which has e-cycle programs in place.
I got a broken wine cooler

@mypiesarepiff
Sucks that it’s broken
Well we received our worst IRK kit to date, scored many times but this time no so much. Received a vacuum robot and was so excited, a Neato D8. Started to set it up and could never get it to connect to the Neato servers. Well could never connect and then come to find out Neato went out of business in March 2024 and shutdown all servers and no technical support. So have a paper weight bc it cannot be operated with out the phone app and server support.
@texasvet neatorobotics.com remains up, with some support information available. It appears that there is a manual mode for some units, but I don’t know if that app is required.
@texasvet I received a Neat-O a few IRKs ago and hubby got it working, although it took a bit of troubleshooting. We also have a Shark and we think the Neat-O vacuums better than the Shark.
@texasvet If it’s an Android app, you may be able to find it on sites that stash discontinued/ older versions of apps. I’ve used this one before: https://www.apkmirror.com/
Mine just came it was a side deal win.
![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
A blue tote bag

Picture wasn’t worth taking, but I got:

@cbilyak @Kidsandliz @n3uka @tinamarie1974
I’m a 7 and actually might wear those fuck me pump hooker boots, there so ugly there cool
@n3uka WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT???
Um. I’m a size 7 and have some free shipping to blow through. But honestly, I’m guessing I’d discover pretty quickly that I prefer comfort to extravagance.
Mine has not even shipped yet. Thinking it is taking some time to get all the small, unmarked bills of US currency before they shrink wrap the cash, place it in my IRK bag, and send it my way. One can dream, right?![:rofl:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
![:money_mouth:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f911.png)
@cbilyak Mine shipped at 5:30 pm. FedEx says it will be across the country at my door tomorrow. I will be disappointed if it’s late.
@cbilyak @sammydog01 That is what mine said as well (well 5:32pm today). Actually mine claimed it would be delivered today.
/giphy impatiently tapping foot
![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
@Kidsandliz @sammydog01 none of the reveals so far are from us Inked Mehtizens…looks like we are round 2 of shipping. I received my shipping notice shortly after my comment above.
My Meh IRK arrived today in a rather large misshapen box. Actually two reinforced boxes taped together. No sound of shattered glass this time around so was hopeful that everything arrived intact. Given the size, I wondered if I was the unlucky recipient of one of those toaster oven/coffee maker monstrosities.
Thankfully no. Inside was:
Beige IRK bag, (another reusable shopping bag)
XL plain white t-shirt (will probably wear)
Blue case for a 13" Macbook – to keep the two tan ones I received a while ago company I suppose. (donation pile)
Screen protector for an iPhone X (donation pile)
Del Sol color changing nail polish (gift exchange fodder)
And a Monoprice 28" monitor which uses a DC power supply (not included) so it may be a bit before I know if it works or not. Was it a previous Meh purchase? Perhaps, a label on the monitor stand reads “fit-lucid-beef”.
I do need a monitor temporarily to setup a micro-PC firewall. Will have to decide whether it’ll be easier to hunt down a suitable power supply or unfetter the monitor on my desktop PC.
Thank you, meh & SideDeal… !
@tahshar
You got both of those!!! How fucking lucky are you.
@tahshar Wow, awesome haul! I had the airfryer, and loved it, but waaaay too big for my kitchen, so I donated it. It worked really nicely!
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
@Star2236 For certain! Have also gotten a lot of duds over the years, but never have any expectations so it works out!
@brainmist Good to know! The crumb tray was in bad shape and sort of jammed in, but we got it out and my husband bent it back into shape. We verified that it turned on & everything worked. It sat on the counter overnight, and then went back into its tattered box. It’s just massive!
Got a generic roomba with a couple other things stuffed into the box. Still has the RMA letter taped to it…![ihome vacuum, car charging adapters, wristband, beauty masks, earrings](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
originalprevious purchaser returned it due to “house too small”.I’ve always figured these vacuums can’t get to the very same nooks that are hard to reach with a manual vacuum so what’s the point? It’s like, “sure i can paint that wall… but i’m not going to cut-in any of the corners”
@walarney I think a lot depends on your furniture. If it’s close to the floor? Yeah, that vacuum is going to have issues.
If it’s on legs? that vacuum may hit some bunnies your can’t easily reach.
And meanwhile, you’re saved doing a very tedious task. Why have AI for art or writing? It’s the generic housework that kills our souls.

You got a little bit of everything there. Looks like the shorter version (or very similar) of a coat I got a couple months ago, my sister LOVES IT! That message board is pretty cool, and I’m curious what the jewelry looks like, and the cordless vacuum. Is it (the jewelry) decent quality or not so much…![:star_struck:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f929.png)
ENJOY!
@Lynnerizer Here’s the link to the cordless vacuum on MorningSave.
Yes, like the quality of the coat especially since it’s a just a L. Similar Kenneth Cole jackets on MorningSave for $69.99, msp $295. Here’s better picture since I couldn’t get it all in.
Jewelry is O.K. Not a good judge of quality. It’s mother of pearl with a gold plated over stainless chain necklace.
My $13 IRK came and even though there was nothing spectacular everything is brand new and factory sealed! I might try to get pics later!![:woman_shrugging:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-2640.png)

This is kinda exciting and will be tried and tested by myself and my sister, not at the same time of course!
Even my beautiful 80 something year old mother wants to give it a go! (TBH
, she’s been 29 forever! ![:lying_face:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f925.png)
) She already just got the fancy LED teeth whitening system I got a couple months ago so she’s going to have to lay down and wait her turn.
Or maybe her turn will be first, UGH!
I’m such a softy!![:woman_shrugging:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-2640.png)

since I didn’t take a picture of my IRK here’s a pic of my sister’s new puppy Lulu!
@Lynnerizer oh my goodness Lulu is so adorable. I just want to cuddle and smell that puppy breath!!! Extra pets and treats for her please!!!![:smiling_face_with_3_hearts:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f970.png)

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 That little dog is SO CUTE! I love her raccoon eyes, and her proud posture. What kind of dog is she?
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
My sister got a new little dog too! He’s 2 years old so full grown, but only weighs 5 lbs.
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer also sooo adorable and deservs cuddles and treats!!!![:smiling_face_with_3_hearts:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f970.png)
![:smiling_face_with_3_hearts:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f970.png)
how is the new baby fitting in?
@Lynnerizer I want one of those in my IRK. Beats getting one of those IRK stuffies.
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 I’m told his new big sister (my sister’s other dog) is a bit jealous but they’re getting used to each other.![:smile:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
He came from a farm on a big rural property so he’s fascinated by the activities around his new home - garbage trucks, tennis courts!
@Lynnerizer Yay! I love dogs… other people’s dogs that is… not a fan of dogs living in my house,
but love seeing/greeting other peoples dogs.
@Lynnerizer OMG BABY!![:heart_eyes:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png)
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974![:shushing_face:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f92b.png)
Lol…![:face_with_hand_over_mouth:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f92d.png)
OMG he’s beautiful! Even though I’ve never had a fancy pup (long silky fur and petite) like that he’s more MY kind of dog than my sister’s dog but I won’t tell her that!
@rcwbbb![:grimacing:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png)
I have to agree! My IRK stuffie is the closet, he’s been suffocating in his plastic.
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Well, that doesn’t surprise me because Tuc is a gorgeous fancy long-haired kitty!
)
But don’t tell MY sister - I actually think Lulu is cuter than this funny little guy (And I have a short-haired cat!
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974
How’s @Charliedoggo’s paw coming along?
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974![:rofl:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)

Lol
@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer hi! Its doing well. I think all thr remaining stitches have dissolved/fell out and scabs are gone.
He is still wearing the cone at night and when I cant watch him(ie while working) because someone who will remain nameless (@charliedoggo) is trying to lick his paws constantly.
@CharlieDoggo @Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Huh - I wonder if it itches because it’s healing? Or just feels different?
@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer well, he is licking the front left, the front right was operated on, sooooooo
@CharlieDoggo @Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Oh, strange!
@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer thats Charlie!!!
I got my Meh IRK the other day. Inside was:
Thanks, Meh! I’m completely whelmed.
Mine was a pretty sweet haul!
1 NIB Ring Doorbell Pro (refurb)
1 Let’s fit sound machine
1 bag ginger chews
1 Popular Mechanics battery case
1 13" MacBook case
1 sterling silver earrings
1 L Gildan zippered hoodie
1 green meh bag
Green IRK bag - my fave color
Battery holder
Car USB charger 2 pack
Stacked planter
Ginger chews
Black and yellow hoodie
In-Case laptop cover my daughter nabbed
Let’s fit sleep sound Machine - not pictured because I forgot it off to the side and was too lazy to take another photo
All in all, very unregretful![:relaxed:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/263a.png)
@cbilyak The Letsfit white noise machine is the same as the one I got below. It is actually pretty decent. I actually paid to buy one (well it was a 2 pack) several years ago and I like that it is small and has various white/pink/brown static noises. I actually like some of the others color noises better than white.
@cbilyak I got the exact same IRK.
Came today
Refurbished ring doorbell. Unfortunately we are not allowed to have doorbells on our doors… so finding it another home. I wish I had a tiny hidden camera to put in so no one would see it as people enter my apartment and I have some things that have “vanished”. Using the ring doorbell inside my apartment to capture people is too obvious and likely it would just get stolen anyway as they’d hope I then wouldn’t be able to see who was there. Anyone have any suggestions for a hidden camera that isn’t going to be triggered by cats all the time and is reasonably cheap?
2X Gildan men’s sweatshirt (way too big for me)
2 bags of those nasty nasty ginger chews
White noise make (I already have two - it was a buy 2 meh deal; these are decent)
Green irk bag
Nail clippers and tweezers (will keep the tweezers)
13" macbook pro computer case. Now I am up to two 13" ones and two 15" ones and have no use for any of them. Tried to sell the others for $5 and not one nibble.
Thanks meh.
Contents of the recently arrived IRK:
All in all- appropriate amount of fun had from the IRK.![enter image description here][1]
[1]:
I got mine yesterday![irk](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Green bag
Refurb ring doorbell pro (I’ll have to see if this is better quality than my current ring camera, may need to swap it out)
Battery case (already have one, don’t have enough batteries to need 2)
Diamond earrings (ugly, and I’m allergic to silver)
Sound machine (I use Alexa, but I’ll keep this as a backup)
13” MacBook case (probably the 10th one they’ve sent me, still no MacBook to put in it)
Ginger chews (kinda scared to try these)
XL dark blue hoodie (shown under battery case)
Pretty decent irk overall.
@remo28 Similar to mine except instead of earrings and a battery box I got a huge sweatshirt and nail clippers and tweezers. Also I got 2 bags of grossness with the ginger crap instead of one. I think you did marginally better than I did with our nearly twin irks.
@werehatrack Did you seriously lock the irk sale thread to make people post their stuff here?
![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
/giphy control freak
@sammydog01 So many people ignored the Hint, that yeah I did, but I can unlock it if needed. Since the main thing at this point would be the Reveals, and that’s about all that was going in that thread, it seemed like it would be less annoying for the folks who like to follow that subject. Otherwise, why even have the separate Reveal thread? The alternative would be to not have the reveal thread separately, and just revise the topic line to make it obvious that the sales-linked topic was now the Reveal thread, but then the first recipient wouldn’t get the “honor” of starting that thread, which can be kind of a big deal at times. (I’ve even politely ignored it a couple of times despite having an IRK in hand with nobody else having started the Reveals, just to avoid hogging it.)
Eh, maybe there’s no right answer.
@sammydog01 I went back and unlocked it. Unless I get a lot more feedback encouraging just one specific approach, I’m just going to let it sort itself out. I have way too much to do around the house this summer anyway.
@sammydog01 @werehatrack I, for one, like not knowing where to find things for certain. It makes me a lot more tolerant of commercial (& pathetic) search functions, such as at Amazon, Walmart, Lowes, …
Why do they treat intersections as unions? (I.e., “search for something that is A and B” gives me EVERYTHING that is EITHER one of A or B.
When they waste my time like that, makes me not want to even bother with them.
@phendrick And giving it more search terms in an effort to make the search ever more specific sometimes has exactly the opposite result instead, with it becoming ever more frustratingly scattered. At the moment, I have to give Amazon the unchallenged leadership position in useless search engines, only in part because of their insistence upon throwing in everything that someone has paid them to feature in their sponsored ads. It is usually far more effective to hand the search terms to a third-party engine and tell them to search for results in Amazon than it is to try to do the search on Amazon itself. That is just ridiculous.
Not a gazebo, but not a bad haul at all! In fact, some pretty useful things.
-Purple on green IRK bag
-TWO!!! refurbed Ring doorbell cams. I like 'em, but it turns out I have a friend who would LOVE them and dearly needs, so they’ll be passed along. Making things safer for democracy.
-XXXL sweatshirt. Might resell, might carry it around this fall to keep people warm.
-Undies: gonna demand Ring friend take these too, for humor.
-Laptop case argh why. How many of these do I need to build a tiny house.
@brainmist Ope, forgot to mention the diamond chip earrings. Not my thing, but I’m sure they’ll find a home.
@brainmist I have 4 mac cases now. I can send them to you to build your house (well probably doll house but hey that is close enough). Not quite the new trackrs but they take up way more space.
Well, no regret delivered in this Irk!
![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
It’s the big, professional-style Cuisinart food processor!!!![:smiley:](https://dj5zo597wtsux.cloudfront.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f603.png)
Also a flowery power bank, odd toe socks, breast-cancer-awareness pen (that doesn’t write) and a knock-off Trakr? But the food processor, wow! Thanks, Meh!
@Kyeh Very nice! Enjoy!
@heartny Thank you!
Not as fun/whimsical as they usually are, but you can’t spell IRK without Regret.
Here’s mine, sorry I’m a bit late:
If I don’t write something down here the bullets are fucked up. So here’s that something.
No picture, but got a diamond tennis bracelet, a three pack of silver acrylic paint, a glass nail file, and a pretty nice bidet. Not bad! Bidet sells for 180 so I can’t complain.
@XLVMVP12 enjoy the clean tushie
Kinda late but I need to post before the new one gets here.
![enter image description here](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
MacBook case, hoodie (my size, I like it), sound soother, real diamond earrings, ginger candy, battery box, and tiny little camera labeled both with e-waste and a smiley face. I’m charging it now. I may put it next to my bird feeder. Thanks!
Really dragged my feet on posting this:
It’s a decent IRK, but I wasn’t excited about any of it. Though I was happy the hoodie worked out.
