"You may cash in your box for its appreciated value by sending it back to MSCHF. Max value is $1000." - JaxSean Feb 18, 10:57
The way to make this actually interesting is to have a limited "return prize pool" - Reagen Feb 18, 09:29
it's possibly they'll only sell a few hundred to get the hype up, then it won't matter as much if everybody turns theirs in. good marketing, low risk -- nm - colin Feb 18, 09:27 9
- I honestly expect nearly half to open them. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:28 8
  - even so, they lose money. they HAVE to be limiting the pool. -- nm - colin Feb 18, 09:31 4
    - Depends on what is inside, I would think. Was there any guarantee of value? -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:32 3
      - oh, scroll down on the site.. they have all the prizes, like a vespa and a drone, the rest is garbage. -- nm - colin Feb 18, 09:39 2
        
        lol. I wonder if *all* the boxes are Vespa size. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:41 1
        
        Hot Wheels Vespa -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:41
  - ST Poll: what is in the box? Is this just some ploy thought up by pfm to finally get rid of Athena? -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:29 2
    - The head of GPALT. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:30 1
      - the key to finally solving the Oak Island mystery...spoils...the box is also empty -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:32
At 1000+% interest, I'll take ten. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 09:24 1
- Right? Send them a grand and get 10 grand back in 3+ months. Sold. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 18, 09:51
boy, do I! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 18, 09:22
This doesn't sound like a scam at all. -- nm - Mop Feb 18, 09:18 3
- If it was a scam, I doubt they'd send 2 boxes to a YouTube channel with 16.2M subs. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 18, 09:43 [youtube] 2
  - I am shocked that they sent him something worth a lot of money. shocked. -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:48 1
    - They could be modeling off of Woot's mystery box. 1 or 2 people get TVs, everyone else get's a pencil or a binder clip. -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 09:54
what is that? -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 09:16 26
- Apparently the premise to a Twilight Zone episode. -- nm - Mop Feb 18, 09:26
- The box costs $100 and appreciates in value (if unopened) $10/day up to $1000 and can be mailed back for money. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:18 24
  - but: someone you do not know.....will die -- nm - prayformojo Feb 18, 09:26 3
    - SEE?! -- nm - Mop Feb 18, 09:31
    - In this case, you would need to become as famous as possible so everyone knows you.... fuck, this is already happening isn't it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 09:30
    - heh -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 09:27
  - I assume I mail it back to Happy Dude at 742 Evergreen Terrace?? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 09:25
  - First of all, their math is wrong. - znufrii, human scum Feb 18, 09:23
  - I'm with Mop. Scam. -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:19 17
    - but now I want one -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:19 16
      - i'll throw in $10 with a group if we want to just see if it works. (but i'm sure it's a scam.) -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 09:23 15
        
        I'll throW $10 at it. -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 10:07
        
        To open, or to send back? -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:25 13
        
        we need two -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:26
        
        honestly, either/or. -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 09:25 11
        
        I would want to try the mail-back. I would like to know where they are located. So one of us can... visit if they do not redeem. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:26 10
        
        58 SOUTH 6TH ST BROOKLYN NY 11249 -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 09:41 6
        
        take a look at the street view -- (link) - decline Feb 18, 10:01 3
        
        "That looks rough but at least it's a real address." "No no - it's the *van.*" -- nm - Max Feb 18, 10:43
        
        I did, obviously -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 10:15 1
        
        looks legit, right ? -- nm - decline Feb 18, 10:16
        
        Yet, the domain is registered in Panama - according to a Reddit thread about this. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 18, 09:57
        
        Okay, Krusty will go kick ass if we do not get our money. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:41
        
        Either way, I would be game for $10. If we get 10 peeps, we get one, if we get 20 peeps we get two. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:28 2
        
        in. we'd also have to live stream the box opening for sure -- nm - Beaker Feb 18, 09:28 1
        
        I like the mailback aspect as if legit, easy to get people their $. If we open it and then have to sell it there is more hassle. -- nm - Spawn Feb 18, 09:29
