Yeah, probably just a poor choice of words on their behalf. Ripped indicates you got purposely mislead. You knew what you were buying! I think they just meant to say "better luck next time" lol

Did I say you got ripped off mate? I don't think Rodman said that either.
Big difference between getting poor value and getting ripped off.
This is what I said, and I said that because you said they were excellent value at only $140 and you highly recommend them to other members.

mate I dont think you have an option to comment here, at least he pays for his cards he commits too. Looks like he has learnt his lessons with words and dont accuse ppl of ripping someone off.

Nobody got ripped off, they knew what they were buying and it was their decision whether to buy or not!
Remember that you learn from your mistakes!
I think there are some good Pro's and Con's brought up here for "Mystery Packs"
I don't like them but there have been some good positive points made about them here........if anything this thread is a good read for people to get an idea on what they are getting BEFORE they buy a "mystery pack" or the like.
I in no way think Terry "Ripped" anyone....I just think Mystery Packs are too open to manipulation for my liking.

Bad luck on the mystery pack mate. I feel your pain, we have all been there with boxes, packs, cases .. you name it!
It's the love of collecting cards and stepping into the unknown which brings us back to busting wax!
First of all there are a few things to consider when buying 'Mystery Packs' (from my point of view).
1. The term 'Mystery Pack' should raise alarm bells with anyone who doesn't want/desire the element of surprise. You will either hit the gold mine Eureka Stockade style or you will hit the gutter
2. Someone will have to get the 'Hit' - looks like 9 of you cannot get the hit otherwise there is no point for running a Mystery Pack system from the organisers POV.
3. If you did want an element of surprise/hit (I assume you did as you wanted to hit the big card) then you did buy the right item but you were unlucky this time (refer: gambling)
4. Has the hit been pulled by initial/previous purchasers? If not, this increases your odds/chances and may be more beneficial for your investment into the 'Mystery Pack' system.
5. Is the majority of the hits/cards available for a cheaper rate? More so often than not, it will be and you can save some $$$
From reading 5 pages of this thread it appears as though you have now accepted what you have received, potentially will gain nearly 50% of your money back on one card and have, in my opinion, gained much more than a 'hit' or a 'big card' from this experience. There is always risks in life, and buying Mystery Packs is one
- I tend to think you will probably use this experience going forward in life and apply it to other areas of your life. More often than not your realistic expectation won't be met when doing something like this and if you go in with the attitude of "I'm doing this for fun" - then anything that exceeds your expectations is only a bonus.
Better luck next time mate and enjoy your cards!
