I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
Well it can't really be called a bag of crap !! Dad's came today. An Aluminium CD case, a Skype Phone, empty DVD cases and a tub of blank DVD's.
Seriously, Bigpockets good stuff
Hmm..mine appears to be taking it's time - still on 'awaiting despatch' according to the website. Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow, I dont mind delayed delivery normally but the suspense is killing me!
I love these bags o` crap, I got a nice mp3 player in mine and a scart lead

Everywhere you find a deal, or a mention of the bag o'crap you'll find SiMI have always been a cynic, I just try my best to hide it
But I'm with him past mentions were very positive, but now they have raised the price people really do seem to be getting crap, but you get what you pay for! Good marketing ploy for Bigpockets (as well as a good additional source of finance) although it has obviously lost and won some customers.

In all seriousness, they do sell it as a "Bag of Crap" and tell you quite clearly that contents may vary. Anyone that throws their toys out the pram because they buy such a thing and it *gasp* actually has a load of junk in it needs a reality check.Everywhere you find a deal, or a mention of the bag o'crap you'll find SiM

People are not paying for "crap" they are paying for the chance to get something good. They do accept the fact that they might just get crap....
My game theoretic perspective:
Assume that out of 10 bags from the first batch, 3 of them are crap and 7 are good. In the second batch its seems that 8 out of 10 are crap and 2 are good... and they charged extra! If bigpockets wanted to do it fairly, in a non deceptive way they would have split the good stuff evenly over the two batches. At least then people in both batches who get the crap know that they are just unlucky, rather than feeling like they got tricked.
Imagine a lottery that pays a prize to 10% of people.... but then all of a sudden without warning starts to only pay out to 2% of people. Surely you would feel hard done if you only bought the second lottery ticket and you were led to believe the odds were better... No individual expects to win the lottery either time... but it would be nice to be notified that the distribution of pay out is worse... just like it would have been nice to be notified that the distribution of crapness is worse...
Its not illegal in anyway, but its damn dodgy... I wouldn't trust a company that pulls something like this... but I didn't buy one anyway
I presume DSR are still in force so if you evaluate your purchase and change your mind you are entitled to refund?
But remember postage is more than the bag's value iirc
