I'd been eyeing the bags for a while. They seemed like a pretty good deal, and when I got a coupon that knocked an extra $5 off the price, I figured, what the heck? $10 for $40 worth of stuff? Might as well! Here's where I met the first downfall. I had my mom place the order, and she went ahead and had it sent even with the extra $7.50 for shipping and handling. So now my "$10" order was more like $20. Once the bag arrived, I was a little let down. It's actually not that big.

| Rather smaller than expected... |
I figured I'd get some pretty little gothy gems, even if the bag wasn't as big as I thought, it was $40 worth, so there had to be something good in there right? WRONG. Behold my goodies:
A mustache necklace, a beaded choker, a fake spike bracelet made of plastic, three lip glosses, and an infinity necklace. This is worth $40?
 |
| To make matters worse, all of the lip glosses were also LEAKING & STICKY |
 |
| And the infinity necklace was BROKEN |
I may wear the choker and I'm salvaging the chain from the mustache necklace. The necklaces did come with some cheap "diamond" studs (although they had no backings) and the spikes on the ridiculous bracelet glow in the dark, perhaps something there for some future Zombie Bunnies? Also, each mystery bag is different because they're basically rounding up the last few items that they aren't planning to continue, so I guess its possible that some people got some cool stuff. But overall I was more than disappointed. I was under the impression that the things in the Mystery Bag would be made up of clearance items from the GoodGoth website, and I was hoping the items might be at least a little oriented towards goths. Of course the Mystery Bags are non-returnable, which would make sense for this type of promotion if there was anything of value included. I can't speak for the items purchased regularly through GoodGoth. Overall: :(
Song of the Day:
I've gotten two regular Mystery Bags and a Hosiery Mystery Bag from GoodGoth. The first MB and the Hosiery bag came together, and most of the things in them were great! The only annoying thing was that the hosiery was ALL thigh highs, no regular tights or socks. The second MB was more like yours, including the EXACT SAME beaded choker! I didn't get any makeup, though, leaking or otherwise, just some overall cheap, crappy jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI do like the quality of their hosiery, at least the things I got. But I don't plan on getting any more Mystery Bags any time soon, the quality is just too variable.
I guess there's something to be said for knowing what you're buying.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, as well for as the saying, "You get what you pay for!" ::wry grin::
DeleteMan that sucks. The idea of the mystery bag seems so nice, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on something that could turn bad quickly. I'm glad you posted this because I was considering getting something from GoodGoth. :/
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't speak for their products that are purchased regularly through the website. But apparently Mystery Bags aren't such a good idea, at least that's how it turned out for me.
DeleteThis worth $40? Maybe in a parallel universe or another dimension. I wonder if all the mystery bags are like this, or were just you so unlucky :-/
ReplyDeleteI've heard some people got some good stuff, but I certainly won't be buying again...
DeleteAw.. well that's pretty shitty stuff as I'm looking at that bag. It's a pity and totally throwing out money. However it's the Mystery Bag and a lot of mysteries just sucks. But as you say, I wouldn't judge whole e-shop just for one thing, so don't be hopeless, maybe you'll be lucky another time!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I may still give them a try with just their regular apparel.
