-Bump-

I got my envelope, and it contained, among other things:

A small bug stencil
A series of stickers from the Defcon 12 hacking conference
A coupon for a free bottle of rum
A postcard from Roosevelt National Forest

It took me a few days to remember I ordered it, but I'm still happy with the results.

WANT.

Bumping this thread, still honoring the original prices in BTC as long as it doesn't drop down below 10.

All of the envelopes will contain different items, but I think there's some hesitation from a lot of people if they don't have any reference point.  Most envelopes will likely have a postcard.  The black paper was something leftover from a project my wife was working on (http://arthropodsandpaper.blogspot.com/).  Some of the other envelopes have included a NYC subway pass, a booklet of Boeing products and small bugs similar to the dung beetles on that site, but more intricate.  I'm pretty sure every envelope will contain it's own unique set of items, so while this list gives you an idea, don't expect to receive any of the same items.

For the box, it was asked that it contain film photography themed items.  It shipped out with a polaroid camera, a 60s era Vivitar 110 camera with original carrying case and manual, and a small device for viewing film negatives.  All of the items were picked up specifically for this box from thrift stores and swap meets.  We were fairly certain the film negative viewer would work properly, based on being able to open it up and look inside.  The Vivitar camera looked like it had been very well taken care of and was still in the original hardbacked carrying case and had the original manual, so we figured there was a good chance it would work properly.  The Polaroid camera was more of a gamble, and might end up just sitting on a shelf.

I like to think of the boxes as a good way to get yourself a gift and still be surprised.

I was just trying to keep the mystery alive...

I got two postcards, a postcard sized piece of black cardboard with a peacock design cut out of the card, and a limited edition Asian Pendant from The San Diego Zoo.

If anyone is interested in what was in the envelopes or box, PM me or post here and I'll let you know as best I can remember. 

Just got back from DefCon last night.  I've got a few minor odds and ends from the trip, some of it specifically DefCon related, some more generically Vegas.  Glad to hear everyone got their stuff so far, although I haven't heard from Cory yet.  I'm ready to send out more stuff if anyone wants an envelope/box.

Ditto

I just got my mystery envelope.  I particularly liked that one thing!  It was awesome!

What was it? Or not saying? <_<

Got mine today. Awesome stuff. Thanks.

Three envelopes and one flat rate box were mailed out this morning.  Let me know when you get your items.

So far I've got three envelopes and one large flat rate box, with another possible envelope.  We'll be heading out in an hour or two to find items for these, so if you'd like to have something shipped tomorrow, PM me with what you're looking for (envelope, size of flat rate box, or just a BTC amount you'd like to have converted into a mystery item) and if you have any specific requests or themes for your item, be sure to include those.

Well, anything I would want would be box material. I'll go with a large flat rate box. Find me something good.

Just ordered. I'll report back as soon as it shows up.

Thanks!

That can definitely be arranged.  Are you looking for an envelope, one of the flat rate boxes, or something else?

I'm looking for for old photography stuff. I do film, so if I could get a mystery item in this category, you have my Bitcoins.

Will do.


Done.

I'm all for this makes me want to set something like a wootbit up

I'm the guy who is/was selling mystery envelopes, and for the record:

I whole-heartedly endorse this!

I'm just selling for the weekend on a whim with junk found around the house.  Unconfirmed rumors indicate alcohol may have been involved in the original decision to do this.

But I think full-time service with some thought and effort put into bitcoin grab-bags is a great idea.  I wish you the best of luck on this venture.

Instead of sending me a 0.01 kickback for each deal, why don't you just send me one of your mystery envelopes after you sell ten items?  One time only.  There's no need to pay continuous royalties.
