  • The most expensive bag doesn't even have Mr Ripken's signature in it... I don't get the point of that

    Yeah I thought that was stupid. I bought one of the $10, and one of the $20.
  • Not to mention that the two cheaper bags have better odds of getting the top item, and each of them have a top item of greater value than that of the most expensive bag....

    By the way, the expected value of purchasing 1 item is as follows:
    $10 bag, average value of item you will get is $30
    $20 bag, average value of item you will get is $48.24

    $40 bag, average value of item you will get is $49


    more or less in terms of expected value, the $40 bag is a rip off if their prices and probabilities are correct.

    How random can it be? I mean, honestly, an all star pin or a framed 8x10 photo, even the worst Xmas Gift guesser could feel the difference of those two.


    Postman arrives with a 4x6 bubble mailer "Look honey, my package came in, I wonder if I got the 8x10 Ripken auto??!""
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    Well obviously you'll know once it arrives at your house, but how long does it stay wrapped? Like five seconds?

    I was going to order a 10.00 one for the heck of it.

    12.95 s/h was enough to make me lose interest really quick.
  • jeffcbayjeffcbay Posts: 8,950 ✭✭✭✭
    It was $15.95 to ship my two.

    I ordered two $20 bags; seems like an unique promotion....(little/no downside IMO)

    I'll let you know what I get......

    YES!!! My packages arrived today with my BOCs and I got the Ripken signed photo in the $10 box, and the Dempsey signed photo in the $20 box!! I'm not actually home right now but I had my wife open them and send me a pic. I can't post a pic on here from photobucket because I'm on my Droid, but I'll post one when I get home tomorrow. Stoked!!

    Anyone else get there's yet?
