    Have you guys had any success with the grab bags?

    I’d offer a $100 challenge (or $200, whatever- you set the amount), and post your WTB ad on BST. See who offers you the coolest assortment for that predetermined amount. Then it need not be a totally blind sight-unseen buy.

    The point of a grab bag (usually) is that one of the bags had a higher value item so you "win". Who will give me the most stuff for $100 is a very different game.

    Why not just buy something you really like, rather then take a chance on a grab bag? Most grab bags are just coins that dealers have no retail buyers for. You could wind up with a lot of stuff that you simply do not want. Low value beat up junk silver which the seller will overvalue.
    There are lots of videos on youtube showing what the purchasers got from grab bags.

    Lucky Duck seems the most reasonable.

    True. Sounds like you’re more after the VaultBox kinda thing. Maybe not that, exactly, but something like it. It’s not my game.

    Not me. But the OP asked for grab bags, for whatever reason.

    When I was young I could always brag,
    About the prizes that I used to snag.
    Now I’m a goblin,
    Drooling and hobbling.
    I used to pick cherries, but now I grab bags.

    I believe a grab bag isn't about luck or volume, it's about the fun of sorting through an eclectic mix of coins.
    If I were to categorize WitterBrick or VaultBox, they would probably be "mystery boxes".

    I have a sort of funny answer... at our coin club's silent auction! More often than one might expect, a club member will just bag up some odds and ends and start bidding out at a dollar. I have seen bags that included legit certified coins go for very attractive prices.

    So, maybe join your local club and see what happens?

    Sometimes. But even the local B&M "grab bags" usually include an element of a lottery. I think the term gets used both ways. The OP has never specified the purpose.
