Same old stuff, another mehrathon
10As much as I appreciate the intention with mehrathons of clearing out excess junk, I feel like we’re getting mostly the same things over the last 3-4 mehrathons, and it makes it so I don’t even really care to check for anything other than the Irks. And given I’ve been even more underwhelmed by the last few irks I’ve gotten, even that luster is wearing off. Just a thought from a longtime VIP.

You ain’t wrong!
I’ve missed IRKs before, but I’ve never missed a whole mehathon! LMAO- looks like I didn’t miss all that much.
I thought I was in a time machine with this one. It was like… Oh wait. This is identical to the last one. Oh wait. morningsave (well and a little bit sidedeals) and meh are different how again? Oh wait. Some of this stuff even isn’t at a fire sale price. Oh wait. Are we seeing all this morning save stuff all over again because their tracking tells them many of us don’t even go to morningsave most of the time so they are bringing morningsave to us? Oh wait. The business model of
wootmeh seems to have changed from it’s great beginnings… :sad: (WTF @kykazaa - no emoji for sad???).@Kidsandliz I take full responsibility and blame for the shambles that is now Meh. The fact that I am the goat should be indicative of the downfall. Too much? Too soon?
My thoughts exactly. It feels like mehrathons have gone from something unexpected and special to an event in the middle of the second or third week of each month, featuring a lamest-hits collection of stuff from MorningSave and SideDeal. I miss when it felt like it was worth staying up as long as you could past midnight to catch new and unexpected stuff, when it felt worth the hype of the mehrathon song.
@lljk I’d rather than rare and good than what is going on now. And in order to keep us, or try to keep us, engaged they changed how the irks are offered. I preferred it when they had 250 a time and fewer of them. Of course 100 at a time and more frequently, from a marketing point of view, is more successful. It keeps more people engaged in the event over a longer period of time so they can flash us with the same old same old crap they have recycled over and over and still not enough of us want it. Maybe they should rethink what their target markets for their different sites actually buy enough of that it never makes it into the recycling bin of a metharon to begin and rethink what they buy? That would then mean this kind of
dumpsterfire sale isn’t needed as often.I mean occasionally they do something clever. Like the time they wanted us to go see how they had refreshed sidedeals and sent us on the “treasure” hunt through that site, bribing us with an irk at the multiple ends of the rainbows. And the first couple of times the mehrathons were an interesting switch… but the last two of them were practically identical in crap sold. The irks that came with them were far worse than they had been in the past. And that they had to figure out how to try to bribe us not to hang it up as soon as we got an irk by selling few of them in one try and doing it more often, to me, is really a signal of a business problem likely compounded by the economy and too many liquidation buying mistakes (either in quantity, type or both). I hope they get that straightened out so this site, and the irks, can go back to what used to bring us back to begin with… not to mention generally it is easier to keep a customer than get a new one.
@Kidsandliz Now I want to know how many people who follow the mehrathons are chomping at the bit for IRKs. I watch them for cool stuff at low prices, like the teapot I bought months ago (and has come up in two or three mehrathons since).
You people have too much time
Wait, there was a Mehrathon?
I thought I was on MorningSave.com and ended up in their open box sale section.
