"1,2,3,4 what are we fighting for." Yes,Mystery Boxmania Runs Wild!!!! The ultimate in mystery boxes. What better way to celebrate our independence then with "the mystery box of mystery boxes." Brand new retailed packaged high end items just waiting for you. Plus will throw in a couple of little things. There is only one box and you are limited to two. We think that you will really enjoy this Mystery Box and will be running it all weekend (holiday and weekend - Maybe until Monday noon. You know, long holiday, hangover...). Also let's face it, we want to take the weekend off. And I don't care what anybody says, I really love this box. Since we aren't listing everything else for 4 days, limiting you to two orders and not allowing you to combine items, shipping is FREE.

That's an expensive box. I wonder what it could be? 
"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 . . .

Yep, the inability to resist a Mystery Box lives on... I have been lucky enough to get MBs with great useful stuff (and what was not useful for me has been good for someone else, sooooo), so the resists are way down... and now the fun part, the anticipation!  Glad I am home for the next few weeks, if I had to wait an *entire week* away, with the this MB beckoning to me like I had to with the $10 Mystery Boxes...  Edit: Argh!! This has set off Country Joe and the Fish on my mental jukebox, I'll be doing the Fish chant and scaring the cats all day 
Curiosity killed the cat....
Satisfaction brought it back!

Sorry - after looking at the Poker Watches, Cell Phone Flashlights... and the kiss-and-make-up god awful musical greeting cards that are sitting in a pile in the basement, I'm afraid that what Thing Fling considers "high end items" and what I consider something of value are two entirely different things.  No way I can risk $123.45 on this! Have a safe and happy 4th everyone.

Being as it is a 4th of July MB, I feel more patriotic already. Well maybe not more patriotic but at least I feel more excited after taking the plunge.

WOW....gotta pass on this one. My MBs have only been fair, so this would truly put me in the doghouse with the Wife if I even thought about it.... Wish the court woulda' given us a hint as to what's inside, tho......

Considering most of us are looking for cheap bargains, regardless of what the contents could possibly be, it's still way too much for me to risk. Oh well...

Sorry TF. AMB's are what I'll risk on. Had a few disappointments with the MB's and this is too much to risk for something I may already have or not need.

Sounds tempting - but over a c-note for a complete and total mystery is way too risky. If it were an AMB or if there was some legitimate hint as to what it was - maybe... High end is relatively meaningless. High end porcelain doll? High end Cell Phone? High end apparel? I really like TF, but this one is just too vague for the price...

I thought I had figured out TF's reasoning for offering this at this time. Considering they haven't offered a MB for two weeks, I thought MB addicts would be ready to jump at almost anything. And buyers might justify paying $123 because that's about what they would have paid if TF offered MBs during those two weeks. Also, some pay that much anyway buying multiples of $30-$60 boxes. Which may be the case; they've already had some flingers buying it. When TF posted the description, this caught my attention: thingfling wrote:We think that you will really enjoy this Mystery Box and will be running it all weekend (holiday and weekend - Maybe until Monday noon. You know, long holiday, hangover...).
Also let's face it, we want to take the weekend off. TF is being doubly clever. They want a holiday like everyone else and not have to worry about a huge stack of orders when they come back. They'll have some sales, but not so many they have to play catch-up. So, whether you order or pass, it's all good to TF this weekend. Enjoy your weekend Royal Court! And the same to all Flingers!
