At http://www.somethingstore.com/ you can get a random item (could be wanted or unwanted) for $10 shipped if you live in the United States. I heard of this watching Attack of the Show and I'm interested to see what people would get if they try it...I'm not ready to jump the gun just yet. ;)

Here is their blurb:
Your Something May Be Anything
It may be something you need, something you want or something you desire.
Yours may be a cool gadget, rare book, table game, handmade necklace, reverse clock, box of gourmet chocolates, set of shiny shower curtains, popular video game, big-box retailer gift card, the latest version of a software, a set of kitchen knives, a pair of designer jeans, garden tool, kitchen appliance, unique home decor item, electronic equipment, magazine subscription, office supply item, or ...
Your something will most likely be brand new, though it may also be refurbished or antique.

Tell me you get more than a box of chocolates!

Sounds very... gimmicky. Which isn't bad, but reading the comments page, it seems like there are mixed reviews over the 'somethings.' Many people don't post what they got, but numerous hats, watches, and an electric shaver have been cited.

Most commentors (mostly chicks) say 'What a cute idea!' and think the premise is adorable, if not the actual gift. Like greeting cards- it's a nice gesture, but what do you do with it?

Hey, if you've got ten dollars free, it seems legit, but personally I just blew $60 today, and I'll pass.

Lol, good way of getting rid of crap around the house! I got some spare T-shirts from gamestop and other places and demo disks, maybe I should start my own site! =)))
