@Stumpy91 If so, I guess I’m the “control” since I’m not going to shell out $30 on more crap I don’t need when I’ve already got way too much other crap that I don’t need.
@Puckfreak ita because they used to be $5 and some were truly epic. I’ve got some in the past that were a genuine pleasure. I’ve also got some truly awful ones. There was one that didn’t have a meh bag in it, but to their credit, they sent a meh bag.
At $30, it’s a much larger gamble than it was before.
@Puckfreak At five bucks, it was a shruggable loss when the contents turned out to be junk, and sometimes had enough hilarity factor to cover the sum even if the stuff wasn’t 100% useful. At thirty bucks? It’s not gag, it’s a gamble against long odds. Probably much better than the Powerball (which is now $5) but not enough to get me to just outright buy one, not even with stores.com cash. I’d rather spend it on something I know I can use.
On the other hand, if you want to think of it as having a far higher chance of payout than six $5 lottery draws, I won’t tell you that you’re wrong. But I’ll still point out that the only guarantee is the Regret.
The BIG Question is: Are IRK’s from meh any better than IRK’s from SideDeal?? I’ll venture to say NO and I eagerly await the Reveal Thread from this offering to see if I am correct. “Good Luck” to all who give in to temptation and “Congrats” to those wise enough to avoid giving in!
It’s kind of like buying an Irk for $30 during a marathon and then finding nothing worth a shit to buy to offset the cost. Only you don’t have to wade through all the garbage.
I kinda panicked and bought one instantly when I loaded the page without considering whether it was a good idea. I remember when they used to sell out in seconds back in the fukubukuru szn. We’ll see!
@pyudin you can still “omg what have I done” for a couple minutes anyway … yes this is me giving you an out … will you take the kindness or will you choose the path of unsold trackrs
Well this sucks. You mean for the next 24 hours I can’t buy stuff like Mistpro 3 that leaks and breaks? Or 300v electric fly swatters? Or more multiple useless stuff during a ‘thon? Well, at least I can try to order more than one IRK, which you couldn’t during the last meh-ration.
I wonder if this means that they had so few takers for IRKs in the recent 'thons that they’ve got a giant backlog of crap that they need to shift out the door? Or maybe they got a giant load of crap dumped on them as part of a Totally Fantastic Buy, and they want the debris cleared before they let us know what the good stuff looks like? Neither of these questions will get addressed tonight.
With the “deal” now paused until 8AM ET I wonder how many are now setting their alarms for an early wakeup in time to grab an elusive and highly coveted IRK??

I can’t believe you’ve done this.
Meh
@jaybird The definitive response.
It’s a trap!
I’m confused
It’s me, Side deal Danny.

WHY NOT
Did it once years ago, totally regretted it and decided to never do it again. Narrator: He did it again.
@meherson I read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice.
Only 94 sold at 4 minutes past the hour.
The last two I got were truly IRKs. I’ve had some bangers in the past, but they’ve been just a couple boxes of condoms and socks.
@chaos13 the fact that its $30 with no BuyMoreCrapdiscount of any sort
also it came out literally on a random Saturday
Not so long ago it would have been worth it to get a chance at a couple of dozen eggs (if that’s what’s on the right side)
Another “experiment”?
@Stumpy91 If so, I guess I’m the “control” since I’m not going to shell out $30 on more crap I don’t need when I’ve already got way too much other crap that I don’t need.
I’m a little scared. The IRKs used to sell out in seconds, this one, no. Have they become so regretful that no one really wants one anymore?
@Puckfreak they’ve peddled so much regret with bad ones they cornered the market

@Puckfreak clearly their dumpsters are overfilling so they’re having us pay to dump their trash again

@Puckfreak @werehatrack
So you say there’s a chance…
Does ink work for this @extramedium ?
@mbersiam I was wondering this myself, so I looked up the last Ink for IRKs announcement, and it does appear this qualifies:
"I’m officially announcing Ink for Irk 2023 a full week early.
For those unfamiliar, if you get a Meh-related tattoo, we will send you a free Irk each time we offer them for as long as we offer Irks."
2023 last call
These don’t really itch the scratch of the IRK/bags of crap of old. I yearn for those days.
Just earned almost $3 in stores.com cash! Easy money.
I’ve sat the last few out, why not…gotta get my $8.99 worth of membership somehow
@sproinky Pretty much my take as well.
@sproinky I feel that there’s a logic flaw here somewhere…
/giphy rosy-thankless-jellyfish
I’m an idiot and I’m bored, just take my money
@Superllama7 I did not know that would be the gif, but yes
@Superllama7 Same
Last few have been terrible. For $30 I’d rather go buy some scratch off lottery tickets.
@cinoclav I have WAY better luck with IRK’s then I have playing the lottery.

Make it $29.99 and I’ll be fooled into thinking it’s a good deal.

I’m just buying a $30 irk bag and a bunch of crap to donate to the arc
I kinda panicked and bought one instantly when I loaded the page without considering whether it was a good idea. I remember when they used to sell out in seconds back in the fukubukuru szn. We’ll see!
@pyudin And that’s how they get you!
@pyudin you can still “omg what have I done” for a couple minutes anyway … yes this is me giving you an out … will you take the kindness or will you choose the path of unsold trackrs
@pyudin I bought it and then canceled. Meh diluted the appeal of the Irk.
missed the last several, guess I’ll take a chance…

Can we use our $5 off coupons on it? And if so, where? I don’t see a place to enter coupon codes on the sell page.

I’m SO excited I got one just before they paused it
With the “deal” now paused until 8AM ET I wonder how many are now setting their alarms for an early wakeup in time to grab an elusive and highly coveted IRK??
I see Meh is clearing out their old items that didn’t sale again.
This brought back memories, like when I used to set an alarm at midnight just in case. And the thrill of the photo of trash in a yellow bag.
@sammydog01 Is the thrill gone?
/buy
@PnkFld We wanted the morning crowd to have a shot at this too, so we’re holding back some of these until 8am ET.
@llangley Love this meh click face!
/giphy derelict-overjoyed-tiger
YESS!! OWNED!! DOMINATED!! I still have 30 bux in my pocket!
Eff this garbage.
$30 with no kickback is insane. Even with the kickbacks, $30 sucks, but at least its manageable.
