Last time they sent total junk.
whatd they send?
Last time the junk I got were cheap fold-able sunglasses that would probably only fit a kid and a stupid toy thing with sticky tentacles you could throw at a wall.
Yes, telling us what they sent would be useful for many around here.
not free…
Not a freebie if we have to pay for shipping of $5 (and we don't even know what will be inside the bag).
I got negged like crazy a few weeks ago when I called this "giveaway" a lucky dip. My view hasn't changed — this is essentially a contest/raffle/lottery/competition, and shouldn't be on OzBargain. Also, plenty of people have reported getting absolute junk from previous "mystery giveaways" that is in no way worth $5.
Should charge them for using your garbage bin?
Where is the "bargain" in garbage?They reckon "At 1saleaday, we need to make space for new and exciting products so we’re giving all our old stock away.Today we have all types of sunglasses, computer gadgets, torches, iPhone accessories.mens and ladies watches, cosmetic gifts and so many other amazing deals we have lost count.", I think last time was kids toys and useless accessories, I forgot, I still agree this won't be worth your $5
Last time I got horribly looking kids sunglasses from them which would be worth 10 cents. It's just a scam to get money for nothing, in my view. I agree with jump22. This so called deals shouldn't be on OzBargain.
omg same thing here!! the glasses did not fit my big head at all but i also got a sticky wall climber haha great for kids.. but i had it for free because i wante 3 quality, when i check-out the postage was completely free therefore i paid $0 hehe
I noticed that they've been running these "Mystery Giveaway" at least once a week, and there have been several posted on OzBargain with mostly negative acceptance:

http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/20163Personally, I don't think this is a bargain mainly because there are still chances of you not scoring a bargain. Furthermore, if for some reason you need to claim a refund on the item, there's nothing to be refunded.
When 1-day deal sites started the idea of 'mystery boxes' (aka pooki box/MGB), it was kinda fun. But the novelty has worn off with many stores doing deals like these and giving away items which you can often find on dealextreme/focalprice for about the same total you're paying for.
And for this specific "Mystery Giveaway" from 1saleaday, I don't think it's fun at all if it's done weekly instead of once or twice a year. This to me doesn't sound like 'clearing' their warehouse.
ud get something better if u just went to the $2 shop with $5.
Erm but we don't know what's in it.
