Doesn't ruin the fun, just takes away the risk.

Good, I win. But I do admit, I would do purchase protection if I bought and didn't like it.  ;)

It is not return protection from Groupon.

I'm thinking that Return Protection is the best way for the money back. Amex probably wont ask for the item back and just give you the money!

I got Bluetooth speakers. No need for it, I hope it goes on eBay for more than what I paid. At least it's not as bad as getting a DVD.

Update: Just looked up my item online. It sells for $40+ on eBay and amazon. Nice!

I'm happy I sat this one out... Bought mystery box once and actually landed a good pen. Not sure if I'd purchase again... Even with return protection it just doesn't seem worth the hassle :P

Not sure I understand the economics of this.

If the item could normally sell for more than they're getting, why would they do it?
And if normally for less, why would you do it?

Seems all you're doing is mismatching people with what they would be willing to pay for.

Maybe an inventory dump.
