Today we're bidding on mystery boxes from Etsy.
Let's talk about that.
((Intro Music))
Good Mythical Morning.
I have a mystery for you to solve.
Okay, is it the mystery of who won a bidding
war on various boxes of mystery bought on Etsy?
No, I was gonna ask you if you knew who left the half drunk
coconut LaCroix in the fridge.
But yours sounds more fun.
It's time for Contents Confidential, The
Mystery Box Challenge!
Welcome to the Bidding Ballroom Zone!
The Mythical Crew has purchased four different
mystery boxes of different prices from the internet.
Each contestant will win a box, but only one will emerge
victorious with the biggest gap between their bid and
the actual retail price.
And we have a new wrinkle to the game!
We've placed a secret advantage inside one
of today's boxes.
The winning bidder of that box, gets that advantage.
That's how it works, yep.
We have our panel, Gwynedd, Emily, Link,
and most importantly, our reigning mystery
boxing champion, Stevie!
((Applause))
She's been wearing that belt everywhere!
Okay, Chase, Channa, sorry, Channa Hite, can we see
our first mystery box?
Of course.
Also a new little wrinkle.
We're not going to show you the inside of the box.
Instead, Channa is going to show off a few select items.
What we have here is.
I don't know how I feel about that.
Okay, well, you're on the panel.
It doesn't matter how you feel about it.
I'm hungry for box.
What we have here is the Cottagecore Mystery
Box from Etsy seller Lulu at Avenue Vintage.

mystery box meticulously curated to elevate

We're talking about a five knife box.
One for each finger.
And we're starting the bidding at twenty dollars.
Fifty dollars.
Whoa!
Link's out of the gate!

Somebody want to go a hundred?
Somebody want to double up?

Sixty.
Okay, sixty dollars for those knives.
Sixty-five.
Ninety.

He's not allowed to touch them.
But now he's got one for every day of the weekdays.
Link's at ninety.
Anybody want to go higher than ninety?
Ninety-five.
Now, I will trade with Emily.
Well, you can make that decision later.
You can't make that decision now.
Let me think about it.

Okay.
All right.
We're at Triple deeg.
Triple deeg.

Anybody want to go 105?
Oh, come on.

Five knives, Gwynedd.

- [Rhett] 105!
Do I hear a one?
Highway 110!
Do I hear it?
Are we going to stop at 105?
Link is going to give up on the knives so easily?
All right, 105 going once, going twice,
110.
- [Rhett] And, oh!
110 to Link, making it interesting.
Well, look at that, that's sharp.
- [Stevie] Sold?
- [Rhett] Okay, we're at 110.
Stevie, Gwynedd, do you want to go?
It's a safety issue, but I.
You don't want to keep me from the knives?
I do, but.
You're sitting mighty close to me.
- [Rhett] 110!
That's true.
Going once.
I'm going to pull each knife out.
- [Rhett] Going twice!
Gwynedd, you want it.
125!
125, Gwynedd in the house!
Gwynedd's not even sitting next to me.
Yeah, she's thinking about Stevie's safety.
Yeah, exactly.
135.
- [Rhett] 135?
Okay, we've got just crazy bids happening right now.
I might pull out two knives at once.
Open them, and then what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna have to open all the rest of the knives with
these knives open in my hand.
Gwynedd, you should get in on this.
135.
I'm probably gonna do this.
- [Rhett] Going once.
I'm going with 135.
No one wants Link to have these knives.
You gotta go higher.
Well, Stevie doesn't seem to care.
She's making you, she's controlling you to do
the bidding for her.
- [Rhett] Weren't we at 135?
- [Stevie] Delegation.
No, we weren't at 135.
140.
- [Rhett] 140.
Link's at 140.
Going once.
Going twice.
Oh, no.
And sold, to the Linkster for 140.
- [Link] I mean, Stevie.
Well, I, wait, I have a game to play.
Okay, so do I.
It's called playing with knives!
Oh, gosh.
Nobody can stop me!
Alright, I've already seen that one.
You can, you have.
There's four more in here.
Whoa!
- [Chase] It's already open.
Y'all pre-opened them for him?
There we go.
Oh, and look at this one. This is like an eagle's talon.
- [Rhett] Don't be it with that one.
It'll close on you.
Don't do it with that one.
That's not a knife.
How do you close this?
You're making everyone nervous.
How?
- [Rhett] You're making everyone very nervous.
I mean I don't even know how to close this.
They came open.
Okay, Link, let's, can we, do we have a safety
expert who will come in here and?
Safety expert?
Who can close.
Close the knives and then put them, put them back
in the box so we can take them home and then.
Put it down.
- [Rhett] These will be safe.
I figured it out.
- [Rhett] These will be safer with Link's children at home.
Okay, let's move on to box number three, but first we
want to let you know, we made a very special throwback
episode of Good Mythical Morning just for the Mythical
Society that you can watch for free.
Remember what we used to look like?
Yeah.
- [Link] That is a current photo.
- Yeah. - What?
- [Link] Yes.
That's a current photo.
We did some special magic to make ourselves
look a lot younger.
Well, we still look a little old, but that's what we used
to look like 12 years ago when we first started the show.
- [Link] But we never changed.
We recreated the set, we recreated our old looks,
and we did an episode that was a lot like the stuff
that we used to do back when we started this show.
You can go watch it now.
It's open to all degrees, including the free tier.
Initiates.
MythicalSociety.com
Go over there and watch.
Just check it out!
- [Link] It's free.
I mean, it was a weird experience making that.
Like.
- [Rhett] Yep.
I realized how much better the show is now.
Yeah.
Thank God.
I think so too.
Let's take a look at mystery box number three.
Channa, show us some items from that.
This is the mystery box.
Yes, I want it!
The mystery wig box from Etsy seller LoveQueenWigs.
It features eight.
Eight.
What?!
That's a wig for every day of the week and then
another one on Smonday.
Smonday!
Smonday, Smonday, Smonday.
Slay the house down.
((Laughing))
Okay.
You know.
The intonation, the, yeah.
- [Rhett] Yeah, I lost confidence as I was saying that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alright, we're starting the bidding at $25 for 8 wigs.
Well, Gwynedd's really gonna.
Literally $100.
Oh, we're out of the gate!
100!
Triple D, it's right off the bat!
Got that front.
Portion on that wig.
Lace front.
- [Gwynedd] That's how you know it's good.
- [Emily] Looks like you ain't gonna take it anymore.
That's a Twisted Sister reference.
((Laughing))
I was like, no I think she's gonna get it.
Stevie, we had a hundred dollar bid.
- [Stevie] I mean.
And one thing to keep in mind everybody, is that,
or actually really just Gwynedd and Stevie, if
you don't win this box, you automatically win,
whatever is in box number four, right?
And whatever, you know, the difference between
whatever your bid was and the price of this.
So, keep that in mind.
You're walking away with a box no matter what in this round.
Right now we're at 110.
No, we're at 100.
What are we at?
- [Stevie] We're at 100.
100.
And that's why I feel like if I, if I bid any more and I
don't win, because Gwynedd's definitely wants this wig
box, then it doesn't look good for me for the fourth box.
Eight wigs, Stevie!
I'm gonna bid, and then if it doesn't work out for
me, then you're gonna, have to sit next to Link
with all these knives.
Okay, okay, well listen, I actually do know how much
wigs cost, because that wig that I was wearing, that
somehow Anna got all my hair underneath for the recreation,
When we started talking to her about, can we cut this wig?
And she was like, well if you cut it, you buy it.
And I was like, well how much is that?
And she was like, $550.
Whoa!
It looked like a good wig.
That wig, I don't know.
- [Rhett] So wigs can get pricey!
It's made out of actual goat hair, which is the
closest thing to.
((Laughing))
110
Man, you're getting spicier once you got the
knives in your hands.
- [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, cross me.
Okay, we're at 110?
Stevie at 110.
Oh, look at.
Look at Channa enjoying wigs!
Oh!
- [Emily] Really selling it, Channa.
- [Rhett] Getting really close.
How could I resist? 125.
- [Rhett] 125!
Gwynedd wants them wigs!
I wanna see you in those wigs!
I wanna see you in those wigs, Gwynedd!
Stevie?
- I want to see Stevie. - 130.
- [Rhett] Okay, here we go.
I've never seen you in a wig, Stevie.
Is that a wig?
I don't even know why I'm, yeah.
Yes.
((Laughing))
But I wish it could look like that.
- [Rhett] Okay, so Stevie's at 130.
130, 130. Gwynedd is?
135.
Is that a hat and a wig combo that you have
on right now together?
It is.
((Laughing))
Okay, 135.
Alright, alright.
She loves her wigs.
- [Stevie] Give it to Gwynedd.
Give it to Gwynedd, I'm out.
- [Rhett] Alright.
I'm out.
Going once, going twice, and sold to Gwynedd for 135.
Wow.
- [Rhett] Take a look at them wigs.
Wig time.
you might win.
Wig time.
It's time for wigs.
You want to put this down?
You automatically get box number four.
Oh, that's heft.
That's hefty.
Feel that.
Wow.
- [Rhett] Let's take a look at those wigs.
Let's see what we've got.
- [Rhett] Dang, we've got all kinds of wigs.
Comes with a wig cap, which is nice.
- [Rhett] Wig cap, you gotta have those.
Is that a lube?
- [Rhett] Wig lube.
All the wig lube you need.
- [Link] You gotta get that.
You gotta get it on.
Okay.
So there's some colors, so you can.
Nice.
Come on, Gwynedd.
Okay.
Don't, don't make us wait.
So, they're kind of old.
- [Link] You need to don a wig.
These are beautiful colors.
They are.
There's, a lot of mermaid-y kind of action going on here.
- [Link] Wear it.
Wear it.
I've always liked them.
But then, they just give you some.
- [Rhett] I like ladies in wigs.
Different colored wigs.
I'm all about it.
Oh, gosh.
These are so good.
Hat hair.
I lied about my hair.
I like that one.
- [Rhett] These are nice wigs.
That lather.
I've got enough wig experience to know, or I like to call
wig-sperience, to know.
That these are nice wigs.
Oh, oh yeah.
Okay, voice should change I assume.
Oh!
- [Rhett] Wow.
It's a little Benjamin Franklin chic.
Oh, beautiful!
I see founding father as my ultimate vibe.
Stevie, let's see what you got in your box.
Okay.
- [Rhett] Stevie, this.
I have a bad feeling, cause
these are good boxes.
There has to be one bad box.
That might be.
Well, why'd you leave me down this path?
That might be.
Cause this is the exotic, rare, Asian, ramen, and
ramyeon, assorted ramen box from Etsy seller HiGardenia.
This is not 135 or whatever.
We don't have eight wigs, but we do have six packs of ramen.
((Laughing))
Get ready, get ready
for Link and the knives.
You should have
bid on these knives.
- [Rhett] Hey, but these are, these are from the countries of origin.
Okay?
I mean, we're talking Japan, Korea, China,
Thailand, and more.
I mean, there is hot and spicy artificial beef flavor.
- [Rhett] Hey, there you go.
Hey, look on the bright side.
There's an upside, I guess.
We don't know how well or bad you did.
We're about to find out though.
We paid $22.95
for the ramen mystery box.
So Stevie, you paid $130 for that, meaning you lost
$107.05 cents, and you are indeed in last place.
We paid $45.99 for the mystery knives box,
Link, that you paid $140, you lost $94.01
But, knives!
But knives, yes, we paid $153 for
the cottagecore mystery box.
Emily, you paid $70 for it, but you also got a
hundred dollar advantage, meaning that you gained
$183 . But you know what?
Gwynedd,
for that box of eight wigs we paid $392.75
You paid $135 meaning that you walked away with $257
and Gwynedd, is regaining her title as the mystery boxing
champion of the world.
Hand that belt over, Stevie.
Well deserved.
Thank you!
- [Rhett] Look at that, wigs and belts for days.
That's a lucky wig, you gotta wear it next time.
Hey, thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
