Well, against my better judgement, I purchased yet another box of disappointment this morning. I was able to get a Mystery Stocking. I guess the odds may be a bit better than lottery scratchers...
Anyone else fall for this again this year?

Didn't even know it was going on. After the price increase and dismal products, it's a wonder they have enough people entering it. I did get some nice pedal jumpers once, and stickers, and useless gauge strings.
I think we should get something going here for Xmas. I do have some homemade pedals and other stuff I'm too lazy to list on Reverb. Anyone? Buehler?

Not a bad idea mozz. I have some old gear here that I can contribute.

Yeah, would be good, proceeds go to some charity. New, used, handmade, rare, who knows. We could have a $1 entry fee, up to 10 chances per person, or different categories priced accordingly. All members get 1 free entry if you are broke/retired/lazy.

Nah, when it was cheaper it was worth an "ahh, what the heck", but nope, especially with the state of the US economy lately.
(Depends on who you talk to though)
I would go for an AGF thing though.

I guess I was cured of my "what's in the box?" curiosity by SE7EN.

Would that be 1 for all or any or 3 tickets if broke retired and lazy?

Kind of late now to get anything started, maybe next year we can get it going in Nov time frame.

One of the online guitar magazines has this, I dont recall which.
You buy a box of unknown contents- used to be like $15. The price has gone up considerably since.
A small number have some pricey items, boutique pedals, etc.
The rest have a variety of common items, picks, stickers, pack of strings in common gauge, basic guitar strap, etc.
But also a lot of cast offs like a pack of strings in odd gauge: not really junk, but not really useful to most players.
So its like a raffle but you get a box of what I would call mostly junk and chance at some good stuff.

Well, here is my box of stuff worth every penny I paid for it... I guess it not the kill but the thrill of the chase (that's how the song goes anyway).
