Dentek dental products (floss, tongue scrapers, mouthwash, etc), Baby Bouquet Kit, Grip twists, Cool Downz and Nike socks are all non-electronic items they have sold before. There have even been some Britney Spears folders that have shown up in mystery boxes. I am guessing that there will be quite a few people who get Dentek or Nike socks as their $.99 items, since I don't think those sold too well. However, I would bet there are going to be lots of people getting some great electronic related items for $.99 as well.
ThingFling is still a fairly new company. They will be celebrating their first birthday in a little over a week. They have learned many lessons along the way, but have always made things right with their customers. For example there was the $11.99 mystery bag. Most of the people were happy with what they got, but there were several people who were not. What did ThingFling do? They refunded $5 (back to the cc - not site credit) to everybody who ordered at least one. It didn't matter if you were one of the people who was happy with your Mystery Bag or if you were one of the unhappy customers, TF refunded $5 to everybody! Other sites (1luckyday, Midnightbox) would never think of doing something like that when their customers have complaints. Instead they kick their customers out of their forums, delete posts, or just plain ignore their customers. ThingFling listens to their customers, lets us say whatever we want to, and in general they will do whatever it takes to keep us happy. You know I had not realised when I posted about TF that I had seen the baby shampoo stuff ste!! Ooops!!! Thanks for that, I still love Thing Fling though, no matter what!!! 5 Flings so far!! WooHoo!!Why have I got this in my Siggy ... BECAUSE I CAN!!!

Hey all: Just received one of my 99 cent items today from thingfling via USPS. Are you ready? It's a Sandisk 64mb xD-pictue card (a flash card) Not too bad. Not too great, I know someone with a xD card camera and I'll be gifting it to them, not that you'd be able to fit a whole lot of pics on 64MB. Smile

Oh trust me when I pulled the thing envelope out of the mail, I was thinking the entire time while opening it: "Please please please don't be floss".

I got two $.99 items. Not nearly as nice as the phone I got, but for $.99, I'm not complaining. I'm doing this mainly for entertainment value anyway. I got a 2 pack of Lexar 64MB xD-Picture Cards and Zenith Clip-on Headphones (ZS110 if you really want to know). Hey it's cheaper than it would cost to ship these things! No Floss! Yay!  HEY! The EDIT feature is working again! Double Yay! "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then flingest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."# of Flings: Well, there was the one with Angelina . . .

THANK YOU THING FLING! I got another $.99 item in the mail today and it was a Lexar multi-card reader! I really wanted one of these and was this close to buying one on stootsi the other day. Boy am I glad I didn't! Now I can use that xD card I got earlier! "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.

Not only is it a bargain alone at 99 cents, but that is SHIPPED too and for me the added bonus though is that it is FREE money I use to get them (surveys and GPT's), and in a previous post I mentioned I may grumble at getting a big box with ? on it with nothing inside ... I will probably be happy with that anyway ... FREE Shipping supplies LOL No, seriously though, please don't fling me an empty box LMAO!!!! 5 Flings so far!! WooHoo!!Why have I got this in my Siggy ... BECAUSE I CAN!!!

I got a 128mb flash drive. Awesome deal for 99 cents!
One thing I would like would be to ship 99 cent items only with a purchase. I would think it would be a let down if 99% of the people who bought the 99 cent item only bought that and never got anything else.
