bagocrap.jpgSo the other day I got an e mail offering me a ‘Bag o’ Crap’ for £2.99…..I thought this was too good to be true, so I clicked the link to investigate further!!

It seems that BIG POCKETS are selling any excess/old/one off stock items that are cluttering up their warehouse, they stick 2 or 3 items in a bag and sell them to the buying public for £2.99!! If you don’t believe me, take a LOOK…..

Intrigued to see what I would get, I ordered myself 1 bag of crap the other day….unfortunately it seems postage was gonna cost me £5.99 for this £2.99 item!! Bad times……However, I searched their site a bit further & found another item that I thought might come in handy but offered free postage, so I added that to my order to get the free postage!! Good times……

Yesterday, my ‘Bag o’ Crap’ turned up…..well actually it was more like a box & not really full of crap!! You see the contents was actually pretty good & worth more than the £2.99 I had paid……see the list below for the contents of my box:

1) 2 x blow up footballs – CRAP!!

2) 2 x pair of headphones – CRAP!!

3) 50 Blank CDR – NOT SO CRAP…

4) 1 Alluminium CD filing storage case – NOT SO CRAP…

5) 1 512mb Ipod Shuffle – Definatley not CRAP!!

If you don’t believe me click HERE to see the pictures of my boxes contents……Not bad I’m sure you’ll agree??

So would I buy another one??………..Well yes, If I was purchasing something else from the site & these were in stock, I’d add one to my basket!! However, it really does seem to be a lottery on what you get, just check the reviews on their site or search YOU TUBE for videos of people opening their ‘Bags o Crap’…….

So would anyone else gonna risk buying one when they’re back in stock?? Go on, I dare ya!! ;-)

That’s so cool! Would’ve ordered one myself, except it now says that it’s out of stock. Bad times…

It certainly is a lottery – I didn’t get a VOIP phone or 4gb MP3 player like some people – I got

400 CD/DVD wallet (selling for £3.99 on their website)
4xAA batteries
3 small CD/DVD cases
about 30 cheap blank CD/DVDs, loose in the box and so scratched and unusable

Yeah, it’s worth more than £3, but they could have at least wrapped up the blank discs. If I had bought 25 blank DVDs I would expect to be able to use them when I got them.
