I see these things on Ebay all the time and have picked up a few. I got garbage of course. Has anyone else actually bought these and had any luck? I feel they just aren't worth it, but maybe I'm missing out.

Maybe I'm a cynic however I've never been fucked by eBay. Ever. Why set yourself up? Repack auctions are clearly scams.

Thats my whole thought. I just wonder if anyone actually got something good.

I would hope they pack in a Mox or two in there somewhere but I've never had any luck or really even heard of anyone who's scored by buying one of those.

There's a clear negative expected value on these; the only way the seller would make repacks is if they could turn a profit. I've steered clear of them so far.

They're a bad deal at best and a scam at worst. MOTL bans repacks outright.

I wouldn't go to far in saying they are utter crap, though I bet the majority are. I bought 6 of them for laughs intending on using the stuff for EDH decks and managed to get a dual out of one. I guess not all of them are bad.
