GunsOfBrixtonYeah, that was my though process but like.... there is a severe lack of interest in this drop for some reason

ItsAeolusIt may be the Independence Day holiday week too. A lot of people are on vacation and not shopping. Just crossing my fingers that some of the previous Blue Box misfires aren't causing people to shy away. They aren't always great, but the good ones are a both fun and a good value, and pretty unique to MD.

GunsOfBrixton@GunsOfBrixton Thanks for your comments here! I appreciate it. It takes some time to get Blue Boxes to work out in a way in which we can give you all a great value. The way in which you quantified the math is a helpful way to think of it. I was especially excited with this one.
There will certainly be more Blue Boxes on the way :).

Matt.TYeah, I know a lot of work goes into these - which I appreciate. I may not always be a cheerleader, but I think you guys just straight nailed it on this one. I can't imagine how you could have set it up better. I'll look forward to the next ones!

Here's the way I look at it: 1. Everything in the drop is a good product (unlike, say, the entry Mee bluebox with the terrible Crystals mixed in with decent options) 2. The base option is at a meaningful discount (A 20% discount from the Amazon price at the time I'm writing this) 3. Everything meets the same general use case (unlike, say, the concurrent Spyderco Dragonfly knife blue box, which has EDC knives mixed with a 1/3 chance of getting a specialty saltwater use knife)
And if you look at the expected value math: .75 x $99.99 = 74.99 .20 x $113.99 = 22.80 .05 x 199.99 = 10 Overall EV = $107.79
On top of that, every one of the bonus gifts is a legit prize. (not a spyderco case to be seen :))
I own the PX, and am very happy with it. It's kind of my IEM counterpart to my Beyer DT880, and I think it was a great deal at the $113 price. While this one doesn't make sense for me personally, If you're looking for IEMs under $100, this is one to consider.
I wish every Blue Box was structured like this one - I've been a little "meh" with MD lately, but hard to complain here. I hope it goes well so they have more like it.
