As always, buyer beware. As for newbies, those who are keen will take note pretty quickly that there are unique and wonderful items to be had once the "newness" wears off. I think education is the best we can do for newbies -- alert them that not all goods are created and sold equal. Let them decide and learn. We all had to learn too.

Peace.

Not only do BIB`s house freebies, they also tend to carry many stolen items ripped and distributed without permission.

Full perm reseller groups are HUGE, unfortunately many theives in it looking to make money fast. Others are very innocent people.

I dont see an end to this any time soon.

LOL. That's awesome. Please tell me that you did seriously buy them and are putting them up for $L0. I would be so in awe if you did.

Everywhere I go now I see those darned things, and I'd love to flood the market with zero dollar versions in the hopes Newbies don't buy into the scam.

I did think about buying a BIAB but since so many people scam and put freebies in the box, I have given up on the idea. No-one can tell the quality of the items and i would rather use my money elsewhere.

yes i bought them feel free to go through the trash and dig em out hehe honestly yes some of them i undid and put in the seperate items and others i just tossed the entire thing into :)

I put up 2 dumpsters and a trashcan and i think i have found every business in a box out there and stuffed em in :)

Was fun have no idea if anyone fished any out yet though got a few ports :)

p.s. and yes they are all 0L but you have to get into the dumpster and dig em out as I said I was in a silly mood last night :P

If you want to know where i got the dumpsters and trashcans let me know i will send a landmark. I dont know how much they can hold without causing lag so i put 40 of each into seperate dumpsters. The photo is a friend who i had come over and make sure it worked she fished out one of those dresses and she had so much fun she ran out and got a dumpster too!


I think its insanity by the way but it was really fun and i had a good laugh doing it :P

hehe and thanks as i said it was kinda fun (still have more to put out probably in another trashcan ran out of time last night lol)

Sounds a great idea. I have some prim land near my shop I could put some dumpsters on. When I get time I will come and rummage in yours :D

Someone who rents my land has set up a 'store' with several of these BIABs, and i can tell you, the quality is middle to poor. Nothing i would think of buying. Not suprisingly, her traffic meter still reads 0 after 3 weeks :p
