for $25 and $5 shipping you get a "box" with a mystery prize?

Grab bags have been around forever. I don't know how long this will keep up since it is more like a lottery. Not too long ago people would sell blank cd and put XP on them. But they said you are buying a cd-r. Its like the wild west out there.

I've seen these before, it doesn't seem like there is any way to prove that you can actually win any of the prizes he mentions...

I prefer real grab bags where you can see the actually bag and get an idea of what could be in it...😛

This reminds me of the thing they do on http://www.w00t.com with grab bags.
