    Selling an Ibood box for their anniversary. Link

    €14.50 plus delivery. They're not telling you what is in it. May or may not be worth a punt (quite likely not) but I'm going for it on the long shot its a nintendo wii or something. I will report what I get.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Doodlebug


    A moment of madness... :)
    Your order:
    1x iBOOD Box (1 box per customer) à EUR 14,95

    Subtotal € 14,95
    Postage charges € 12,50
    Total amount € 27,45

    I don't care if its an empty box, I JUST WANT TO GAMBOOOOL!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    damn, missed it :(

    So let me get this straight. They sell you a box and you have no idea what's inside it? Sounds like a good way to get rid of stock that isn't shifting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    Has anybody bought one of these before? What did you get?

    Or does anybody know what ppl received previously?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭Wisesmurf


    Some get crap, well I'd say most, like the bears they sell or other sh1t.It is all old stock.

    But......And this is the GAMBOOOOL! some get the top stuff they have been selling. 360 elite..wii..ram...the big hard drives!

    No wonder the site wouldn't load when I tried to access it earlier. I was just trying to see what this box was. Imagine if I had gotten through and seen that it was a box and left. I'd be kicking myself.

    LMFAO I'd say you have feck all chance of getting any of that top stuff. Search for previous threads on the lucky box contents. I wouldn't waste my money tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,151 ✭✭✭Thomas_S_Hunterson


    Ah feck, gotta start gettin up earlier for ibood;)


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,558 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dades


    For any of you that didn't get one - I'll sell you a box with a surprise in it for only €10.

    Can only supply one a day though. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I ordered the last iBOOD box.. and after 2 months, it never arrived. Shocker given it's iBOOD and all. E-mailed them and the courier couldn't deliver to my Zip code. Long story short - i got a full refund and no iBOOD box.

    But i'm thankful i didn't recieve the box after someone here on Boards PMed me with what he got in his iBOOD box. It was atrocious really! :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I think i posted up somewhere already in 'Consumer Issues' if i recall correctly.

    Can't find it now though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    I HATE the people who post on iBood's site, all at like 12:01 saying "wow!", "awesome", "just what i need!"... Fools...

    However, i think i read about the iBood surprise box that they had before, there was a lot of good stuff in it...

    let us know what ye get...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,115 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    nice ibood!

    *does pointy fingers thing...*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭walshki


    Here's the link Basquille was referring to. Great stuff indeed. Here's hoping for better than that anyway. Sounds like Fnz got some stuff someone cleared out of a drawer or something.

    Perfect example a while back where they got the full and reduced prices mixed up and of course the first few posts were complete fakes.
