The ThingFling mystery box that I won arrived from DingleIt ( http://dingleit.com ) today by priority mail. Here as promised is the list of contents.

1 Monster shielded audio cable
1 AB Usb cable
1 Firewire cable (I was looking for one of these at Staples the other day and they wanted $29.98 for it - am I glad I didn't buy it then!!!)
8 Cell phone flashlights - all working - I got 4 dozen of these in a previous mystery box from ThingFling and people are still coming up to me asking if I have any more - excellent.
1 portable mp3 speaker system - works with batteries or enclosed power supply, very nice.
1 Southwestern Bell cordless phone emergency backup. Works like an uninterruptable power supply for cordless phones and provides surge protection. Excellent considering we have lost power twice in the last 24 hours.

All in all an excellent haul.

Thanks DingleIt and ThingFling.

Yeah, I think my mystery box for $29.99 was pretty crappy too, I got some cheap solar outdoor lights, a tiny surge protector, a power strip, and a set of cheap speakers. I don't think it was worth $30 maybe $15-$20, but that is my first and final mystery box for me.

While I like the MB's , I have stopped buying them as the price started to go up and there is not much in them thats worth the price for me .

I work for a big box electronic store so get a discount on a lot of stuff so I know how much those cheap speakers and cables really cost .

I wish they would bring back some really good low $$ boxes .

But for now I still keep track of whats on sale here and keep trying for that bag from that other site that 98% of the time when you can get it is really worth the $8 with shipping to try your luck
