I must say that I was very disappointed in this box. Hopefully next time will be better. Yep, got the same thing with the same reaction.....have to say it will probably be my last mystery box....wtf do I need with 48 cell phone lights.....*sucker*....ah well ya live and learn Same crap here. Same disappointment. I guess it is my fault I was scammed, but it sucks knowing that I paid money to dispose of their trash. No dupes my ass... Live and learn. Never ever buy from thingfling!!!

I feel like I got totally screwed by TF. I mean, I know MB's are a gamble, but I expected to get SOMETHING that might have been useful or fun to play with. Instead, I'm left with a pile of **** (48 dead cell phone lights - really?) that ended up in the trash bin, and a T-shirt we use as a sex rag...
Never buying from TF again regardless of how good the next deal may be. Thanks for nothing, TF.

So what did I get in my 15# box containing Three Mystery flings?
48-Cell Phone Flashlights. (44 defective) 4-Poker watches. (2 w/key chains, 1 w/coaster, 1 w/playing cards) 1-APC Surge Station 2-PDA Keyboards 1-Monster Cable T-shirt XL http://www.smugmug.com/p.../291901353_3WUkz-XL.jpg
The letter in the box states, "Here are 3 different versions of the box offered:" * 3 different Poker Watches * 36x Cell Phone Flashlight + 2x PDA Keyboards * APC Surge Station "Anything else you may have in your box is just ThingFling's way of saying Thank You." "Thank You" ThingFling for generously providing me with a T-shirt, an extra Poker watch, and 12 extra (also defective) flashlights which were above and beyond what I paid for ("gravy" if you will.) OK so.... I paid $32.97 for the watches, surge station, keyboards and defective flashlights. Say what you will about this being a mystery box and people taking their chances. Selling defective merchandise is not a good business model.  I've learned a lesson and will mention my ThingFling experience when opportunity arises.

I just got a call from my husband saying that a box arrived from Thing Fling. Although he didn't open it - it was a 10 lb box, so I know it wasn't any big windfall of product. All he told me was that the outside said it was Hawaiian Punch. If I spent $59.99 for received Hawaiian Punch, I will have some serious complaining to do. Mystery is mystery but that is a total rip off - I can go to the supermarket if I want that to buy drinks. Who knows how long it's been sitting around!

Oh Yeah. Mine finally shipped. Can't wait to get my 3 poker watches so I can laugh and cry at the same time. I hope this was worth the really really long wait.

Got my box today!!! To my surprise their were 2 boxes. One box contained the 3 poker game watches (yeah I'm just that awesome, I can predict what I'm going to get). The other box had: 1. SportX Armband Radio 2. Westek Wireless Remote Control System 3. Case Logic Satellite Radio Receiver Case 4. Full Weather Station w/ radio controlled Clock I'm pretty excited. I guess it was worth the wait.  But I never got a letter saying I was shagged, maybe that is the true mystery. Thanks Thingfling. I'm sure I will buy something from here that I need.

Me, same crap. Cured me forever of flinging.
Well, my daughter tried to sell our crap today at a fund raiser rummage sale and managed to sell ONE watch. Oh well. On the other hand, the cheezy musical cards that thingfling sent me today were such a pitiful and sad attempt to apologize for the box of crap that I can't help but think of thingfling with affection. Maybe, just maybe, I might fling again.

I forgot to tell you all.. I sold the 16 poker watches I had to a guy who gives them away as prizes for poker tourneys for $5.00 a watch or $80.00. I was extremely happy.

I saw one of those watches (with the key ring) at my local salvage store today, selling for $19,99. Made me almost sorry mine all went in my last charity pickup. I got the silly musical cards yesterday too. Who sends a birthday card with the theme to "Shaft"?
