SideDeal Instant Regret Kit - September Mehrathon
2We call this Instant Regret, and it is definitely that - you probably already regret coming here. You regret spending your time reading through this banal copy. You regret thinking about whether you should buy this for $50. You regret thinking about whether you’d find $25 of stuff in the 2-Day Meh-rathon on Meh to earn your $25 refund.
But it doesn’t end there. Once you make that decision, and you’ve bought this, your regret only continues. You regret the delays it’s going to take to get this out the door (especially as this one may take an extra week or two). You regret that tiny glimmer of optimism that maybe you’ll get something cool. But you also regret the pessimism creeping in, realizing you probably just spent good money on things you don’t need.
Don’t worry, though, because you’re not nearly at the end of the regret. Once it shows up, you’ll regret past you making this decision. You’ll regret that opening the box ends the mystery of it all. And of course, you’ll regret what you get.
But that’s not all! Now you’ve got the regret of feeling like you should take pictures and post it to the forum. You’ve got regret over seeing someone else getting something cooler than you. And finally, you’ll regret that lingering background feeling that you’ll probably do this all over again the next time you get the chance.
Let’s summarize:
- Buy this for $50 (and regret it)
- Buy at least $25 of stuff in the Meh-rathon on Meh (and regret it)
- Wait a week or more to get $25 refunded (and regret it)
- Wait another couple weeks to get your Instant Regret Kit (and regret it)
- Take pics and share them with the rest of the Meh community (and regret it)
- Rinse, repeat, regret!
Let’s recap the not-so-small print here: If you only spend $24.99 (not counting tax or shipping) in the Meh-rathon, you’ll get no refund. Only one IRK from SideDeal per account. You must use the same account to buy this and your Meh-rathon stuff to qualify for the refund. No coupons are eligible on this IRK. Despite your hopes and dreams, there’s no guarantee of what you’ll get, that you’ll want anything you get, or even that what you get works at all. Your refund will also include a refund on the tax you spent on the IRK. It may take longer than normal for these to ship out. It will likely take a week or more before the refunds are processed.
IN ADDITION IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONLY THE ITEMS PURCHASED THROUGH THE LISTINGS THAT WENT LIVE DURING THE MEHRATHON COUNT TOWARDS THE IRK REBATE. This is particularly confusing because there are still a few items from previous days that have not sold out and are still live and available for purchase. These do not count towards the IRK rebate! Before buying an item, look at the date that Medicrebot posted it. If you’re not sure whether it counts, ASK!

Oh man IRK!!
Not sure if it was a mistake, but was able to apply membership code to the IRK before reading this.

@mediocrebot Yep it is Out of this world!
I cannot find an IRK reveal thread, I just got the shipment notice for mine. Has nobody received theirs yet?
@Dakini You’re probably the first. Mine is out for delivery but probably won’t plop on my doorstep for several hours yet. Create away!
@werehatrack It looks like you will be the creator. Mine just shipped, will be here Friday…and I am visiting my kids/gkids in CA, so I will have to see if I can get my husband to lay it out for a photo! I am not holding out too much hope on that. haha
@Dakini I just received a shipping notice. Mine says it’s in Irvine, Texas. I live in California so I don’t think I will receive mine anytime soon. It doesn’t have a date on it as to when I will receive it.
There is now a Reveal Thread for the September Mehrathon IRKs. It’ll be pinned up top for a maximum of three days. Have fun!
