I'm quite curious now and want to give it a try. ) ~Beth
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Hi Beth, Well, this store sounds intriguing. If you have $10.00 to spare, I can see why you might want to surprise. Sort of an internet "Grab bag." Truth is, you can't get a lot of stuff for $10.00 anymore and perhaps you'll bag a deal! I wonder what they yearly profit will be.

Originally Posted By Ursula Okay, I'm game. I'll let y'all know what I get and how fast it gets here. If it is really, really useless, I'll give it away at the Tiki Room meet! Ha!

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Ok, sis, I'll do it too, right now. Maybe I'll be giving out some paper clips at my meet, too! HA!
Originally Posted By Ursula Wait, maybe this was a test to see who the two most guilable LP posters are... It must be genetic! But you will all be jealous when you see my fabulous item!
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Would that be colored paper clips, Ursula, because those would be cool to have.
Originally Posted By Ursula Okay, so two weeks later and I have yet to get anything in the mail. I think I got duped.
Originally Posted By Tiggirl How disapointing! I promise I didn't make up the site just to have you send me money. ;o) Man... hopefully something comes! Do they have a contact email of some sort? ~Beth
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I saw this a few weeks ago...my XBox 360 came in the mail today! Sweet!
Originally Posted By Ursula They have on their website a note that says shipping is behind due to their popularity. They had a list of order dates and shipping dates...but my order date wasn't even listed! I'm sure I'll get something eventually.

And a green button that says I won the Wicked Lottery!I was more excited about the button than the tickets almost. I have never won anything and was really shocked to hear my name called. I wish surprise treats for every Wicked lper posting today! GOOD NEWS let's all do it the Glinda Way! Thank Goodness...

Apparently some are more cynical than others, lol.
