I'll take one box of crap, and a can of lighter fluid.

Did anyone else wonder why the crap gets shipped by Priority Mail? Can people really not wait a few more days for a box full of crap?

Damn this seem really tempting. If I don't have enough crap in my garage already, but it's only five bucks. It's like it's almost free. I think is how hoarders start out.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to get one for my father in law. I wanted to get him something bike related but didn't know what to get. I think he'll enjoy it.

Do you want this new boat or... the Mystery Box?











The Box, The Box!!!




Even though I understand it, I strangely still can't resist. As said, it's only $5! I might get one in a couple weeks here. What's shipping on a box of crap?

About $11 for me

Correction: yes, $11.99 to be precise

$11.99 shipping for me. I had seen these before and thought about getting one, but at $16 it's much less appealing (there's a $1 discount when you add it to your basket).

Why don't they make boxes at least C&V, ATB, Modern Road....etc., specific.
Not nice if you open it up and you get all ATB crap when you have zero use for any of it, so their crap just ends up making your own useless crap pile bigger??.
I WANT C&V $5 CRAP!!
It would be nice of them to also randomly throw a real nice non-crap surprise items within the crap in some boxes. The can advertise doing such and they will surely sell many more "Boxes of crap" than they ever expected!

I love the "Frajeelay..... must be Italian" part.

Watching him open the box made me feel like I had coffee jitters.

It all depends on what their motivation is. It sounds like they just want to clean up their warehouse. They obviously want to spend as little time as possible, so doing things like different categories and occasionally throwing in some good stuff is not the focus.

Now, I can see that they might come to the realization that this is actually a good marketing gimmick to draw in customers. Then they might take it to the next level.

It's a box of crap. You don't get to choose your crap.

They probably are but if they charge 11.99 for shipping they can pocket an extra fiver.

Anway who has any use for crappy crap!!
Crap!, I better just order one of those crap boxes anyway, before they run out of crap!!

Just lucked into a nice set yesterday, at the LBS. All built into Campagnolo rims, 32H, with DB spokes and everything. They had about a quarter inch of dust on them - got 'em cheap. :D

I need a new stem for my race bike, and while I'm at it, I'm going to order a "Box of Crap" too, so we'll see what kind of stuff they might put in it.

Tell you what- fill a box of your stuff and mail it to yourself.... you'll probably receive better crap. :p

Whoah. Hog farm. I'd be REEEEAL careful about a mystery box there. Subtle distinctions in words (e.g. "Crap" and "junk", and "hog" and "hawg") can mean wayyyy different things.

Yes! That's so great that someone else got that. I kind of expected it to go un-noticed because no one got it.

I keep making a cart for Icycles and I always include a box of crap, but I never place the order. They've got some Bontrager 26in rims for dirt cheap, welded and ceramic coated for ~$12. Every time I'm ready to pull the trigger I remember that I hate 26in wheels.

this is largely how i ended up with a garage full of 20 something bikes and endless parts. I have a problem passing up a good deal if i need it or not. Though I'm not sure a $5 box of crap is a good deal.
