FREE SHIPPING NATION WIDE!

The Mystery Item!

Normally worth $30 elsewhere, today just $3.99!

COMES WITH A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!

Please note, today’s mystery item is one singular item. If you buy several to pass around to your friends and family, you will receive several of the same item.

This mystery item is a ripper. The value is so good that we just want to surprise you - it’s something that’s normally worth about $30 everywhere else, and it’s also something that most people actually need. You’re guaranteed to find that some of your friends or family will have a need for this item, so feel free to spread the word - you can buy as many as you like! It’s not exactly a “gift”, but if you handed a few of these around, you’d definitely be in most people’s good books.

Now here’s the best part. If you receive this item only to find that you don’t think it was worth it, we’ll give you a refund of the full purchase price! There it is - it’s foolproof. $30 value for only $3.99 with free shipping nation wide, and it’s something you’ll most likely need. And if you don’t need it, you’ll get your money back. NICE.

    better it stay a mystery!

    • +3

      I'll tell you what I get :P

  • +22

    hope it's the hot babe holding the question mark (fingers crossed)

    • -1

      one can hope, but somehow i think she'd cost more than $30

    • +4

      Becareful what you hope for

      You might receive the hot babe in a Barbie format (USB powered) which may never stop whinging "Buy more from COTD, Buy more from COTD…"

      • +6

        ….and then Barbie crashes

        • +4

          powered by that same dead hamster and the little treadmill

    • +7

      The mystery with that prize is that she, is indeed, a HE

      • +2

        COTD's free bonus pickle surprise

  • Alright, I'm taking the bait.
    Now let's hope it's worth it [sceptical] :/

  • +33

    it's probably a server. catch of the day don't believe in them :)

    • +2

      LMAO. true true

      • +23

        might be a dead hamster and a little treadmill they use to power the servers.

  • +6

    A huge box of condoms? I'm always afraid of 'catching' something!

    • +2

      $30 worth?

      It’s not exactly a “gift”, but if you handed a few of these around, you’d definitely be in most people’s good books.

      I guess a box of condoms kinda fits the description, though I don't normally hand them around.

      • +1

        They should bring that one back, It was 3x10 packs for $3 +$2 postage.

        • yes! I've run out since then. :/

      • +12

        Expired condoms or gonna to expire within 2 days or …refurbished..lol

        • +3

          no, they are probably the ones that had been stapled to the box by mistake.

        • -1

          Expired condoms or gonna to expire within 2 days

          Even if the boxes were fresh out of the "House With No Steps" workshop, by the time COTD manage to ship them to you they'll be well past their prime! :p

          or …refurbished..lol

          Lol indeed, eeewww, but lol nonetheless! ;)

  • i'll bet it's a bottle of blue smoke-everyone knows electronics run on blue smoke, a server is full of it, so when the cotd servers die they bottle it and sell it back to us!! lol

  • The money back guarantee is a bit worthless. It would probably run pretty close to $4 for most people to send back even a small item…….. so you may as well keep it.

    • The page doesn't say you need to send it back. It just says if you don't think it's worth it, they'll refund the entire puchase price. So… it's tempting to order 20 of them and make the refund claim.

    • +3

      Authorised returns go to a reply paid address. The cost to you is time, effort, plus maybe some packaging.

      • Fair point, I was not aware of that.

        Unless that is only for faulty returns, not change of mind.

      • Yea, happy with COTD, had a return and they covered the cost - pretty simple and painless process.

    • +4

      Money back guarantee will probably be in store credit

  • +27

    If this item was worth buying for $4 they wouldnt make it a mystery

    • +9

      Logic has no place here !

    • +4

      ^ Live a little sheesh guys ….

      • +18

        i lived a little once… received a kid's hat, a cheapo battery operated lantern, 3 glasses & a Disney read along audio book with no CD!… have mystery items ever been good????

        • +10

          So you had a good time? Lol

        • Play a game with your partner. Order it and you have to use it for a bit of roleplay, whatever it is.

        • clearly that didn't teach you the lesson the first time you got it

  • Can you buy a couple of things and leave them in your cart until the next item comes a long? Until the end of the day before finalizing checkout? Or does it time out after a while/items no longer available?

    • Cotd have gotten better, but it's still cord, buy it asap or risk being asked to remove it later on

      • +1

        In big red letters in the checkout:

        "Please note: Stock is not reserved until you complete checkout."

        I better checkout lol

  • BUGGER IT! I man'ed up and bought one, considering I am now running an online shop I thought I'd help them out, they are obviously desperate. Hey, it can't be too bad!

    • Desperate?

      • Well they seem to get a caining on ozbargain

        • +8

          It's well deserved, I can assure you! ;)

    • I took the bait too

  • Please would you check back here next week, & let us know what you got. I'm in suspense.

    • it's only 4 bucks c'mon live a little :)

      • -4

        $4 + $15 shipping

        • +3

          Free Shipping for the Mystery Item. I think youre looking at the Catch-a-thon…

    • If by next week you mean in about 3 weeks. Takes them forever to ship.

  • +4

    OK, one last time I'll be the silly little fish…got caught in COTD fishnet

  • I'm gonna guess a short HDMI cable

    • +1

      I hope not… I've already bought 3 HDMI cables and they didn't even cost me more than $3 each.

  • I got one but what is stopping everyone from just saying they did not like or need and it want $30 back :P

    • you mean $4 back? they must be quite certain that 99% of the ppl will be happy with it otherwise they could have not had any guarantee and it still would have sold out imo given the $4 price tag

  • +1

    People shouldn't actually rate this +ve unless they know what it is. Remember once +ve you cant change to -ve

  • +15

    I wish COTD would get some decent servers.

    "Looks like our servers are taking way too much traffic"

    • -2

      Are you trolling? You knew what their servers are like yet you went back, tried again and got upset again? not their fault you can't help yourself is it?

  • +2

    You guys gonna get rubbish. I am sure. 100% sure. I bought from COTD and 1-day, those mystery boxes. You may expect to get something nearly expired or you would never use it in your life.

    • it's usually things they don't sell

    • What did you get there?

  • +4

    My guess:

    $30 of COTD credit.

    • +2

      Cheers mate
      I will reserve my neg vote till I receive the order

      • +4

        By the time you get your order you wont be able to vote………..

    • but can only be used $1 at a time, on 30 separate purchases !!

  • +1

    I want to know what it is already! will someone buy it for $3.99 if i don't want it??

  • High tech lucky dip. I bought 2. Oh what a sucker am I

    • me too! When we gonna learn that COTD sucks!

  • lol this is what you call "dumping away".

  • who cares man! only $4!

    well i don't mind hdmi cables…………

  • +1

    It's a positive pregnancy test.

    Obviously they've photoshopped it out of the pic, but that girl's expression says "We're having a baby!".

    I knew my past would catch up with me some day…

    Edit: "Mystery Item" indeed :|

    • +2

      Good for those condoms you buy that had been stapled.

      • were those from the COTD sale several months ago?

  • +3

    'You’re guaranteed to find that some of your friends or family will have a NEED for this item'
    I think this sentence tell us what kind of item it is.
    I guess it is something of daily, like toilet paper, tissue, hand wash liquid…or soft drinks…

    • +1

      Toothbrush

    • +3

      pfft. noone needs any of those

    • +9

      I hope its a Chomsky Gnome statue. Everybody needs a Chomsky Gnome

    • doubt it would be something big, too pricey to post!

  • +1

    $30 worth of business cards with OZBargain's URL printed on it. That's something that everyone needs.

  • +1

    It's a voucher for $30 worth of more SH!T from CRAP OF THE DAY

    • $30 = $29 500GB/320GB portable hard drive
      Portable hard drive = $4

      You do the maths
      I reckon entering the voucher would be faster than credit card info hence chances of scoring the deal increase!

      • +5

        No it would be 6 $5 vouchers that you can only use one at a time

  • -2

    You don't know what you'll get - no deal.

    • +13

      Did you raised and crossed your forearms while saying that?

  • +1

    Sucker……. just bought my crap of the day.

  • +1

    First time buying mystery item. Got a feeling its an hdmi cable >.>

  • +1

    Gave in and bought it.. $4 seriously.. and free postage.. why not :P

  • Excellent opportunity for COTD to re-gain their reputation on ozbargain by sending out good items. ;)

    • +11

      Ha! You wish jellyfish.

    • How do you know the mystery items are good..?

  • +2

    It's 120 pack of Mentos…… hmm nice smell breath….

    • +1

      Need a sale on diet coke then we'd have a party! (reacts with Mentos)

  • +8

    Gamblers, keep us informed.

  • +5

    you know, i kinda want it to be sea monkeys..

    • :O

    • That might be x'ing a lotl.

    • -1

      Oh that would kick ass.

    • +2

      Lol Kwokstar! At least you didn't say you want it to be sea-men! :p

  • How can this classified as a bargain? Don't even know what it is going to be! Yet I am still intrigued :)

  • it's a 'bargain' because they say it's worth $30 and you get it for $4! if it's really worth $30 is up to the person buying it
    my guess is it's a jar of instant water-just add water and stir….! haha!
    yeah yeah it's lame, but hey april fools day is dangerously close and i'm in training
