I wouldnt agree with banning them, because honestly I believe I have done them the right way. I have so many prizes above the 50 asking price per box (other 10 is shipping), if you look at modern prices around here the prizes I have thrown in above value of a box alone are : Saga 1-7 NM+ Revival 1-6 NM+, Manhattan projects 1 NM+, I have 4 sets of Nowhere men 1 and 2 NM+, 2 SS books 9.4 and 9.6, a 9.6 modern batman variant, a 9.8 ASM 692 9.8 fan expo varaint ($200 book), and many more prizes which I sure I am forgetting off the top of my head.
I have several other books in each box I have thrown in on top of what is pictured, about 100 ASM books from 100-300 have been added to peoples boxes as well, including an ASM 239 MG, and an ASM 194 MG. So if a person is unfortinate not to get a big prize as shown above there are smaller books which are FMV for them add up to approximnately $50. I am not looking to dump any crappy books in the thread. I think it speaks volumes to the prizes I am giving out that 7 boxes in my 2nd round were sold to people who purchased boxes in the first.
If there is any better way I could be handling these threads for mystery boxes, please let me know.
I agree... in no way should they be banned. I feel that the idea behind them is a lot of fun.
You (Venom) and few other sellers have went above and beyond giving value to your lots.
Miraclemet hit on the head, just make sure you know who you are buying from and have a general idea as to what you might be getting.
And just don't "expect" to win big...that way if you do (win big)... then its that much more of a surprise
Do I smell a ClooneyBox coming?
