I got hooked a few years back and bought a bunhc of mystery boxes one Ebay, and then started selling them too. I honed in on the Bath and Body works boxes, and Pamper her Type Boxes and plus size clothing mystery boxes. Most were very sucessful. I stopped selling on ebay for a time and jsut started back. I was wondering if any of you have any expierence with mystey auctions on Ebay? some of the ones I bought were pure junk, while others were fatastic.

That is a cool idea. Where do you find them on ebay and how much do they usually cost? I would like to check it out myself if the prices are reasonable.

do a search for mystery acutions, stay away from the money type ones, they are almost always arip off. try bath mystery as a seaerch. then watch a few that seem intresting, some are gret, it is a bit risky, but still they can be a real fun time too. read carfully sellers feed back! Thanks for the response!

I have definately been intrigued by mystery auctions on ebay. However, I am reluctant to purchase a mystery auction due to the ambiguity. Ebay currently shows only 56 mystery auctions. I would probably be interested in the VS or any of the girly auctions. Maybe, I'll try it if we get another stimulus check. LOL j/k

just make sure you start watching the bath mystery auctions and see what the others have said about the sellers and the shipping charges. they can be lots of fun, but some can be a huge disappointment. I usually search for "bath mystery" and it covers bath and body works and VS and such.... there are some that are calle progressive auctions that the seller adds items as the bid grows. That can be fun too. Best wishes!

I have never done the mystery auctions on ebay. I would probaly wind up getting a bunch of junk. I want to know what I am paying for when I pay for it. I think the auctions sound like alot of fun but I wouldn't participate in one. Happy to hear you got some nice stuff in some of them.

it is risky, but then I watched several sellers that I wanted to maybe bid on and read feed back about the auctions before bidding. It was fun, many were like christmas and well worth over what I paid, while others ent junk... I find the seelers that had more expierence, did not rip pepole off in shipping and had great feed back were the safest bets.
Be Well...

I have never heard of mystery boxes on ebay. I think when I save up some more money from selling on ebay I'll look up some mystery boxes. I really like beauty items like make up, lotions, body washes. So it'd be really nice to receive a variety in a little mystery box! Maybe if you set one up for an auction i'd buy it from you! Lol

It can be risky so look at peoples feed back. search for bath mystery or bath and body mystery auction. some folks are very generious while others are very deceptive. I have a list somewhere of folks I learned to avoid if you want to email me, then I will share it with you too. alnog with some of my favorite mystery auction sellers. Be well.

I was not aware of mystery boxes. This is the first time I've heard of it. I gather by the title that you recieve merchandise and dont know what it is until you get it? I was wondering if these boxes come from other individuals or from companys?

well some mystery boxs will tell you clues. while others don't it all depends on the angle the seller trys. as a seller of mystery boxes I would list in the title something like "Bath & Body, VS and more Mystery" The can be fun.
