Pokemon Mystery Box?

Hi I’m new to this forum and I just have what may be a silly question about the “mystery boxes” being sold on sites like ebay. I’m very intrigued by the concept and am looking for advice.

This is about enjoyment and not winning the mystery odds, but does anyone have any experience with mystery boxes and can tell me what to look in the site descriptions when trying to pick one out? I’m not sure if this is really the place to be asking but they do advertise rare cards can be found so I figured I’d take a shot :blush:. Also if this is a common scam and a terrible idea please let me know that too

Scam and a terrible idea. 100% would avoid.

This is the site founders take. I wouldn’t personally be so harsh on them in theory as I think they have some place and serve some purpose to those buying gifts for their kids and wanting a good mix for cheap (assuming a reputable seller and all that).

In the end though it is best to stay away even when done reputably and just put money towards buying what you actually want when you figure that out.

It’s simply a way for sellers to move lots of unwanted and hard to sell product. Yeah you may in theory get your moneys worth but in the end it’s just a bunch of small items which are hard resales and there is just some goodies like booster boxes and packs to make you feel like it’s worth your money.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of your imput and I agree that it’s definitely worth it to just go out and buy packs
