Ridiculous Scam
I ended up picking up a $50 gift card for this for $5 from a thrift store, thought it'd be fun to figure out where the scam in the site was. Turns out it's everywhere The first is that the odds are rigged. All the numbers are fake and it will always land on whatever surplus storage item they're trying to get rid of. The highest and lowest chance items seem like ok items, but the item you'll get is a mid-chance one that looks noticeably cheaper. I rolled a tech box three times in a row and got an 8% chance 'swimming headset' all three times. That's a .05% chance of occurring. When it came time for my final roll I had to pick a cheaper box since recycling still lost me a couple dollars per roll. So I used what I learned, looked through the list and found a mid-chance item that looked like cheap stuff they couldn't move on Amazon. It was a Travis Scott face mask they said was worth $55 dollars and, yep, it landed right on it. Second is that even if you got something you wanted or decided to cash out the money, there's limits on that. If you want items shipped you need four or more (cheapest box is a bit more than $30, so you're looking at $120 minimum spend). If you want to cash out into BTC or ETH you need $50 in your account (conveniently the same as the gift cards they sent out, so one roll will put you below it). The site is plastered with opportunities for you to get rolls or earn a bit of money by paying in to subscriptions or doing an affiliate program. Really just a laughable scam all around
