take 2 minutes and go re-read my very first comment in this thread.. you'll see my complaint wasn't that i got crap ... it's that everyone got the same crap ...
i get that it's a mystery box ... when I got my Mystery box 31 days after i paid for it .. it was no mystery that i got .. it was the same goddam straw that everyone else had gotten and posted about
I apologize .. perhaps I should have address each of you separately.. i did not intend for the "Holier than thou" portion of my rant to be directed at you ( did intend to direct it towards both TerryI & WillTheThrill )
I included you because i felt your initial comment implied that the comments should have remained closed to prevent valid complaints, However your reply provided clarification. Thank you
I was not aware of the previous discussion in the forum .. i've never visited the forum.. i only come here to read & buy crap .. not talk to you people ;-) (please note winky face... i kid)

wow .. someone's been drinking the koolaid ... Look .. I get that you guys think this is a nonprofit and feel good about purchases "cuz you're helpin' the cause" (insert "cheezey sarcastic double thumbs up while winking real hard" action here) ... great for you
However some of us legitimately feel ripped off.. regardless of how much we like the content provided here .. This is a business .. they gather articles (that other people wrote) add their $.02 & give you a link for more details ... They also sell ad space and stuff in their online store ..
don't get me wrong .. i like the articles, that's why i keep coming back ... But don't expect me to "just put my hands on the monitor and believe" & feel good about throwing money away
If you were happy with the mystery box great.. leave a comment saying your happy .. but leave the holier than thou "i can't believe all the negativity.." crap out Those of use that feel like we got ripped off have just as much of a right to post our discontent as you do your praise.

I'm thinking along the same lines as myst978 ... I expected something more like a woot bag of crap ... a grab bag type deal of all of the left over trinkets and things in the warehouse .. maybe the odd tshirt etc.. the stuff might be crap .. but everyone gts diffrent random crap
what I did not expect was for you to use this an an opertunity to unload hundreds of units of crap at MSRP + shipping (nor did i expect said $5 shipping to take nearly a month to arrive)
The Mysterbox tainted my entire perspective of neatorama. I felt cheated and hoodwinked yes it's valued at $10 ... I paid $15 and waited a month to get it ...
if you honestly thought the strawz were worth $10 .. i feel like you would have listed them in the neatorama store .. not unloaded them on 90% of the people who bought mystery boxes
