Hmmm, I think you just posted the perfect Xmas gift for the aunt I despise. :D

mkeller234 11-19-10 02:59 AM

I can't believe people actually call and complain about the contents of their box of crap.... it's a box of crap!

FlatTop 11-19-10 06:23 AM

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?

Bianchigirll 11-19-10 07:40 AM

My "Old Man" got one of those once. here is the tacky home video of the day it arrived.

I've dealt those guys before and they are pretty good. I'll have to order one.

I took the plunge. Stand by, this could be interesting.

Henry III 11-19-10 08:32 AM

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.

$5 worth of cable ends !!!

I was thinking "Secret Santa". :)

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.

Zaphod Beeblebrox 11-19-10 10:15 AM

I am strangely tempted. I don't even like crap that much.

3speed 11-19-10 10:29 AM

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?

CharlesP 11-19-10 10:32 AM

Wonder how much the postage is?

Andrew F 11-19-10 10:42 AM

Saweeeet...I just hired my cat, were going into the Crap-bag business for the Holidays

About $11 for me

Correction: yes, $11.99 to be precise

brockd15 11-19-10 10:50 AM

$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).

Eileen 11-19-10 10:51 AM

Would be a great Dirty Santa gift.

20grit 11-19-10 11:53 AM

wonder why they're just not doing flat rate boxes? they're cheap.

Chombi 11-19-10 12:38 PM

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.

archashwell 11-19-10 01:14 PM

Reminds me of the immortal George Carlin's "A place for My Stuff."

DavidW56 11-19-10 01:50 PM

I see a way to clean out my garage, basement and attic. We used to call this a "yard sale".
