What would you like Meh to repeat?
17It’s always tough asking people what they wish Meh would sell, because our business often works by finding the things that no one else wanted, and getting them to a price where they become decent deals despite that.
So, yeah, it’d be great if we could sell Nintendo Switches for $99, but you’ll have to wait a decade till that happens.
One thing that’s slightly more feasible, is for us to find more of something we sold in the past. Plenty of times they’re gone, they’re all gone, and they never will show up again. (Today’s Bem Power Bank Station is likely one of those, for instance.) And there’s clear special-occasion deals that aren’t exactly something we ‘find’ (Fukos). But every once in awhile, we can dig up more of something that was a hit before - those Trym shavers are a recent example that we brought back after more than a year.
So - looking back over everything we’ve ever sold, all the way back to 2014 (and in fact, looking through those oldest deals might be a good place to start), what do you wish we would repeat?
You can search our deals here: https://meh.com/forum/?category=deals or use something like http://mehstalker.com/mehhistory.php, and then sort by date added (ASC). See what you can find, even if it’s from before you were here. And star anything good other people find.

@sohmageek wants speaker docks.
@PlacidPenguin I can’t Star more than once… thanks.
@sohmageek I starred for you. Heaven knows I wouldn’t have starred it for myself.
I think the jbl lightning speaker docks speak for themselves. There is also the jbl pebble. But here’s some links from what I’ve purchased in the past.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday--ewave-automatic-soap--sanitizer-dispenser
https://meh.com/forum/topics/built-ny-assorted-bundle
https://meh.com/forum/topics/expanding-surge-protector-with-12-foot-cord
https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday-usb-desk-lamp
I love that stupid soap dispenser. And the built ny were awesome. .
Ps check how many speaker docks I’ve ordered if you doubt my willingness to buy speaker docks at a reasonable price.
@sohmageek Yes. MORE JBL Minis please!
Things I’ve gone “damn it, I need this to come back on Meh”:
@Kawa I would really like those comforters to come back
@thenewlight Kate Spade bags?!? Yes please!
I’m in for the gummy bears (or worms).
@jbrookebarrow FYI until end of day today http://surprise.katespade.com is going with some nice ones. Not this style specifically, but some comparable ones.
@Kawa I love you
The brunton rechargeable mini lanterns. I bought one on a whim, and was surprised by how durable and useful it is. I’ve used it during every single power outage at my house since then. I would buy 3 more in a heartbeat. It was a quality product and an incredible deal ($18 here, $70 at the time at REI – $45 “deeply discounted” there right now).
https://meh.com/forum/topics/brunton-lightwave-multi-function-lantern
I’d also like to see more deals in the format of the built in NY sleeves. This was lots of fun and I’m still smiling and finding uses for mine.
@liz would like this too.
Not quite meh, but not too far from meh either: Non-meh shirts.
(And if they happen to feature cats …)
@narfcake
Purple cats. Purple beakers. Purple for @Barney.
@narfcake This. I’ve been wanting one since I missed it the first time around.
@narfcake Their new location has a special t-shirt production section in the plans.
@cengland0 I know – Mediocritee was mentioned in @snapster’s email on March 23 (add’l discussion here). But that doesn’t mean we can’t have something before it’s up and running.
@narfcake I wear this shirt A LOT. I would also love to see more subtle Meh shirts like this.
The cool ladies socks! I couldn’t get them the last time they featured and I still regret it.
@Palisade I have them and while cute, they’re tiny and tight, imo
@Palisade They’re cute, but definitely mediocre in quality. I was noticing pilling after my first wear. I don’t know what else I was expecting, but thought you should know.
@Palisade the softest socks ever!!!
I’d buy another one or two of these:
@stienman love mine!
ZIPLOC 156-COUNT VARIETY PACK
@medz YES
@medz also Yes!
@medz yes!! and freezer zip lock bags too
@medz I regret missing this one the most!
@medz Damn, I’ve run out of bags!
@metageist - I regret giving one set of these to my neighbor.
@medz I came here specifically to post for the Ziploc bags. I used my last one today and need more.
I am here for the $99 nintendo switch.
Bath.
My Wii U was stolen back in October. I could go for one of those $99 switches too.
@thismyusername i’m in for the virtual boy
@jaybird these days a vboy might be worth more than $99
edit: after a quick review of the sold listings on ebay it appears the Vboy in working condition goes for around $70 with no games… and up to 300 with 5 games… so might be pretty close for a working one in mint condition!
I would have said monitors,
but I couldn’t wait.
So I’ll go with Tweety and Sylvester:
@KDemo I’m afraid to count how many of those things I have bought.
@sammydog01 = @Conandlibrarian was cool enough to send me a Tweety when I needed one.
Oh yes, also the BT X-Mini KAI speakers.
You sold the wired version several times, but I believe you only sold the sweet BT ones once.
@KDemo Excluding the Kickstarter t-shirt my first purchase here was a single one of these. I charged the battery once, used it and felt meh about it. It’s back in the package and sitting on one of my “wtf-did-I-buy-this-?” shelves. Interested?
@jsimsace - Bluetooth? Cool!
My username here preceded by 333 on google. However, I urge you to try it again, as they are pretty nice speakers for the size.
Arrangements made, much gratitude to you, @jsimsace.
/ image cool guy
Generally more tech-type toys and devices, & NO more pearls.
@KDemo No. More. Pearls.
/image animated gif Black Pearl
@ruouttaurmind I would buy that Black Pearl.
Quality kitchen knives (can’t believe I’m asking for knives!)
@KDemo I love my Jamie Oliver knives.
@KDemo
Shuns.
@KDemo with bluetooth?
@daveinwarsh - Emphatically not!
@daveinwarsh I’d buy a good knife block with built in blue tooth. There’s a good chunk of wasted space in a knife block and the wood’s resonance would be nice.
@KDemo I can’t believe you’re asking for knives either.
Can you find a knife with a lightning port? Speaker knife? As you cut meat with it it sings!
The Kickstarter K offer.
Pls pls pls.
@f00l resounding yes from me
Here’s items I’d like to see come back, and similar things I’d like to see again.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/kozy-soles-high-top-slippers-3
Putting this here because it’s a good idea, but I’d prefer beer or liquor (unless it’s a chocolate or dessert wine).
https://meh.com/forum/topics/6-pack-2014-meh-zinfandel-blend-wines
I’d like some more items like this (the item was kinda crappy)
https://meh.com/forum/topics/tasco-digital-microscope-1
https://meh.com/forum/topics/grime-boss-hand-wipes-8-pack
https://meh.com/forum/topics/truefire-gourmet-18-piece-set-of-cedar-grilling-planks--wraps
@dashcloud Wasn’t that microscope like ten bucks or so? I passed back then, but I’d definitely be in for one now at a similar price point.
I bought a bunch of the grime boss wipes, thinking I’d get more use from them, but I still have two or three boxes left.
@dashcloud I was able to get a pair of those slippers last Christmas but there is a big hole in the sole already. I wouldn’t buy them again.
+1 on the kozy soles slippers.
@dashcloud +1 on Mediocre craft beer!!
VMP benefits! (yes, yes, yes. Something OTHER than free shipping) And the ability to start/stop VMP.
2-fer Emerson TV’s
Cobra radar detectors
VMP benefits
Uniden and Cobra FRS radios
Oregon Scientific emergency radios
VMP benefits
Polk or Maxell BT sound bar
VMP benefits
@ruouttaurmind Isn’t it about time for another VMP tshirt?
@RedOak Tshirt, mediocre socks, little keychain phone charger thingy, cardboard phone stand thingy… like in the olden days.
@RedOak Their birthday is coming up- maybe then.
GrimeBusters I need more of them.
@cranky1950 don’t use them for your butt
@medz Oh
Gummy bears my race team would love me for them
@CaptAmehrican I posted in the deals thread that Amazon had five pounds of Haribo gummy bears for eight bucks but no one cared. Hmmmph.
@sammydog01 I cared enough to get some!
I even got a 5 pound bag of Haribo gummy cherries in case the bears needed a snack while in transit from Amazon to my belly!
@sammydog01 thanks will search now. Deals thread is such a jumble i skip it usually
@ruouttaurmind Did you wind up with five pounds of each or just ten pounds of oversized bears?
@CaptAmehrican Yeah, it gets kind of chatty over there. I copied it from Slickdeals if you need to search for it.
@sammydog01 I wound up with 9 1/2 pounds of chubby bears and a few dozen cherry stems.
@ruouttaurmind -
/Chubby cherry bears!
Someone is sure to mention AAA batteries. I’m really happy with the Eneloops, so no need for those environment-damaging disposables any longer. Maybe sell more rechargeables?
@KDemo Yes, I have quite a lot of solar lights in my yard that could use fresh rechargable batteries.
bring back the pebble time?
I’d like to get three more of these. These things are great!
@lisaviolet what is that contraption?
@UncleVinny muscle stimulator. Good when you’re having pain.
@UncleVinny What @RiotDemon said.
These things are awesome. And really cheap at $18.
How about the wet dry vac
Or the henkles steak knives
Or the kcup brewer
Or batteries
Or the automatic soap dispenser
You have never sold but I would like
One of those charging dishes not the disposal type like https://www.forthechef.com/folding-frame-8-qt-full-size-stainless-steel-chafer-2.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9YrAL7vU3hnoBOKXuN1BBiPVUAh356z_bGU4DUeTTYWBoCJm7w_wcB
Also I would like any led Christmas lights at cheap prices
@CaptAmehrican I would buy more Henckels steak knives, more Jaime Oliver knives, but especially, more poop knives!
fukU’s
https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday-ideaworks-multi-use-led-area-lights I use mine All the time. I’d like a few more.
@Nate311 Both of mine broke with only 1 or 2 uses.
How about Sansa Clips? Oh wait, you never had those. Bummer. In that case howz about the two for Tuesday Kindle Fire deal? Actually, one thing I really am enjoying is the Audio Technica Sonic Fuel Headphones (wired). I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they sound. I could use another.

@OldCatLady Yes please
EnerPlex Jumpr Power Banks - I missed out on the sale but my son got them & uses them all the time
More cool gear containers. I bought a dozen of them a few years ago and use them almost every day, finally running low on spares.
Truck nutz?
Can I go back to pre-Meh, pre-Mediocre, all the way back to Woot!? SideSleeper Pro Pillows. The poly-filled ones not the atrocious ‘air bead’ ones they sell now. We bought four, we’re down to two from wear and tear and a drier explosion of one, and one of the two is unraveling now. All I can find are the atrocious air bead ones and the far lower quality ‘Remedy’ ones Woot sold more recently.
Please. Sidesleeper Pro pillows, poly-filled.
Soundbar, or, failing that, more socks.
@dunda I would like a sound bar for my TV.
Zip-loc bags
candy (like the gummy bears)
*ion Sound Splash FM - splash resistant FM radio with bluetooth (NOT the one that connects to cell phones.)
Pursonic S420 ultrasonic toothbrush.
Definitely these pillows. Real soon before I cave and buy myself an overpriced set elsewhere.
JBL Pebbles - I regret only buying 1 set for myself.
Only sold March 2, 2015 for $20
@TaRDy
TaRDy!!!
@PlacidPenguin you call my name but don’t even star my comment.
@TaRDy
I haven’t starred any comments in the last few weeks.
@TaRDy We got a set of those in a Fuko; a little bit scratch and dent but they work really well.
@TaRDy If shipping wasn’t crazy expensive, I’d sell you the Pebbles I bought. Literally been sitting in the box since they arrived from meh, other than being opened to look at once
I really liked the idea of these extension cords, but not the price. Can we see them again at a lower price?
/giphy please
@ConAndLibrarian Since they sold out I assume the price would be higher. But I didn’t go to business school.
@ConAndLibrarian WINNER!!!
@sammydog01 yea, but they raised the price.
@ConAndLibrarian Maybe I should have gone to business school after all.
Leak frogs. You can NEVER have enough leak frogs! I need a house warming gift. Out of every stupid thing I have bought from woot/meh, they were the most surprisingly useful!
Grime boss wipes. Getting very low.
@MrMark ditto!! down to the last case!!!
Came here to say this. I still have some left but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t get more.
Separating posts for stars to matter…
The dog toy bundle
@djslack Yeah I haven’t starred some posts because they listed a bunch of stuff I don’t want and one that I do. Starred this for the dog bundle as well. Pet stuff in general is my most likely impulse buy.
Ukulele for dummies kit - don’t repeat this as I’ve already got one, but a decent quality musical instrument at a good price point is always good.
That drum kit that I always regretted not buying. You can see the joy in @chadp’s face every time @Matthew sticks that clip in another video.
Chargeit! Jump power pack and jump starter
I fried mine trying to be a good samaritan at a gas station. Have bought a couple more but they seem iffy; this one was small enough to be easily portable but big enough I wasn’t worried about its cheapness (of quality) or catching fire. And it was half the price most of these are.
The Lavish Home 600tc sheet sets.
@djslack Yes! I vote for sheets also.
This might have been said but AA and AAA batteries in monstrous packs.
@djslack Tanga.com right now. They’ve been available since at least May 6, when I ordered the first batch. Just got 48 Duracell copper top AAA’s for $19.99. If you need even more, try 96 for $34.99. Also AA, and mixed AA/AAA in various quantities. Do a search on “bundles of Duracell batteries.”
The LED Lenser headlight. That thing is awesome and I’d buy another to keep one in the house and one in the garage.
@djslack This one?
@narfcake that’s the one!
LED light bulbs
Non-portable bluetooth speakers (plug in electricity) for whole room use. Good bass and good volume a must. I’ve been using old computer speakers in different parts of the house for music but bluetooth would be great.
@moondrake ooh, good one! These philips eye of sauron speakers fit that bill quite nicely, and serve as one of my Dot’s speakers.
@djslack Perfect!
@djslack I have a set of those on a TV. If they sold a sound bar cheaply enough I could give them to Alexa. She would like that.
@moondrake Hope you got in on today’s deal.
Huion 17.7 Inch LED Tracing Light Box, please.
The cool gear kits were awesome - especially since I can’t find my salad one.
Dishwasher safe, non-spill contigo water bottles. (Maybe i din’t get it here, too lazy to look back) have way more hot ones than i will ever need.
Otherwise, meh, i like surprises
that’s an easy one:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/defaced-double-wall-insulated-stainless-steel-tumbler
as anyone who saw this thread a few weeks ago might remember:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/anyone-have-an-extra-meh-branded-tumbler
I was able to source a replacement from @skyl0ps, but even it has started showing scrapes/wear/tear from my car’s cupholders…
@earlyre the one i have is plastic and uses the same no spill tech that most of the contigo hot cups do. I’ve never seen another water bottle like it.
please bring back those ninja blenders!
What I’d really like is something that was a Woot staple. I don’t think you’ve sold them on Meh though. SANSA!!!
-VIOlife Power Banks with USB Fans
(I’m the “one weirdo” mentioned in the write-up)
Also, any deals with portable chargers and pillows.
@JT954 Those little lanterns are amazingly functional.
@JT954 violife fans are actually on morningsave.com right now if you’re looking for another set! https://morningsave.com/deals/online-exclusive-2-pack-violife-portable-power-banks-with-personal-fans
That wine cooler ( refrigerator) would be an awesome addition to my master bathroom outlet by the bathtub
Anything solar, crank operated or survival must haves (minus knives) for bugging out or staying quietly in the home (unless the need to hurt an intruder - but still no knives - I grew up southern so I grew up with guns and other tactile weapons I used elsewhere). Also, survival equipment/food/etc. for when Mother Nature keeps you from going anywhere -such as Superstorm Sandy. I’ll look at your list before I was a member tomorrow. I hit the stars on what I liked above but I like the way @djslack did it by separating.
@WTFsunshine freeze dried food at a decent price would be nice.
@dave the car patches. They came in handy yesterday…
I recently needed a cheap MP3 player for a road trip with my 7-year-old. I bought a SanDisk player, and I had to actually pay full price. That hurt my feelings.
8, 16,32, 64 or 128GB micro SD cards - I don’t think you’ve ever had them.
/giphy microSD
@kc5rbq I have a plethora of small ones, but I’m always in the market for big ones in either regular or micro.
for sure Bem Power Bank Station
Another immersion blender would be pretty cool. Doesn’t have to be this one.
@aknapik That one is pretty great though.
Universal laptop chargers. Like this one:
I bought two, use one all the time, can’t find the other.
Stick On Adhesive Wallet for Smart Phone or Phone Case. I don’t think meh has sold anything like this, but it’s right in your wheelhouse: cheap to manufacture, cheap to ship, and almost everyone could use one or more. One of the best little convenience items I’ve ever owned.
Some of the extra tiny flash drives that are only about 3/4 inch long. They would be great to play music, etc., in the car, because their weight would be less likely to damage the car’s usb port when the car bounces on rough roads. I don’t think MEH has sold these – yet.
@spiralroad I don’t think they have sold them yet either. The Sandisk Cruzer Fit is perfect for this. Only enough sticks out of the usb port to be able to pull it out.
@spiralroad they did way back in the first few months, 2 versions of them, one that could plug into a phone or computer, the other was computer only. I remember buying them for Yule gifts the first year meh was here
color change Bluetooth speaker lights. bluetooth hub. ivation outlet remote switches
I don’t mind the occasional repeat, but I love seeing new and unusual things. I don’t suppose there’s anything I need to see again.
On second thought, I’d like to see another Fuku. The last one was Jan 2016, I think?
Squish Collapsible Bowl Set
Perfect for the RV
The mini quadcopters without cameras… I think I bought them almost evey time they were for sale and I have no more in the “presents” cupboard. My son loves giving them to his friends as birthday presents and I used them for rounding out Christmas presents…
And the helicopters…gave all of those away too
Hi Meh, two things from back when you were Woot … You used to sell some weird dodecahedral turnable composters … I want one. Also you offered a great deal on SOG camping tools - I bought the whole set and lost it in a divorce. I’d buy another set of those in a good deal.
I have broken 2 of the 3 carafes I bought, so more carafes, please.
As-Seen-On-TV Bundles They are terrible and useless, and I think the only thing I ever did with any part of them was give the survival knife to my manager as a don’t-be-jealous-of-the-attention-your-pregnant-wife-is-receiving gift, but I would buy them every week if you had them every week and they were also dirt cheap.
Welp, apparently we’d like more of those henkel knives, please.
American Lighting LED Rope/Tape lights.
@jaybird don’t make Jake get out the imap beatdown stick!!!
Has meh ever sold TV antennas? My cable just turned its little toes up during a fairly sincere rainstorm. Because I’m so smart, I switched input to the HD antenna I set up this year, and it worked like a champ. I really didn’t want to miss John McCain’s interview on Late Night.
