The website is still around, of course, but since it was bought up by Amazon, it's entirely different and lost it's original feel and deals (Shirt.Woot is still awesome, though). <br /><br />Anyway, they sold a Bag of Crap for $1 that was insanely popular and was what really put them on the map. After S&H, and buying the 3 item limit at a time, it cost $8 total. Inside was 3 random items from their warehouse/office. Seriously, random. In my time, I was lucky enough to acquire 2 Bags of Crap. In the first was a paper mache 2 foot tribal mask, a wooden wobbly snake, and an iRobot Roomba. $8. In the second one was a basic red backpack, a car battery jump-box, and an Egyptian cotton bathrobe. $8. Both instances, absolutely more than worth the price of the gamble. <br /><br />So I 100% agree. If you're going to take a gamble on virtual items, the relative worth of the random virtual items received better be more than the cost of the key. <br /><br />In casino gambling you can end up with nothing, but that's at the chance of literally winning more money. There is none of that when it comes to lockboxes, and giving away items worth less than the cost of the key is just robbery.Ochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156181787884658756noreply@blogger.com
