Where to find mystery boxes
MYSTERY boxes are becoming increasingly popular, with people interested in taking a chance on purchasing one. But where can you get one?
Charity stores
Many charity shops have started putting together mystery boxes as a way of getting rid of stock that they would otherwise be unable to sell. While you can never guarantee what you will receive, these boxes are usually cheaper than those purchased elsewhere.
eBay
Many retailers use eBay to sell their inventory, with options on the auction site including unclaimed baggage or package returns all bundled together in a mystery box. It’s not like a normal ‘auction’ though – there will usually be a buy now price, so it’s like any other internet transaction.
Online retailers
As the popularity of mystery boxes increases, other retailers have begun selling them in hopes that they will be a hit with customers. Take a look at sites like Amazon, Etsy, and Wowcher, and you’ll often find that mystery boxes are also listed by genre.
If there’s a specific niche mystery box you’re looking for, it’s always worth seeking it out. There are so many websites out there that sell mystery boxes that you will undoubtedly find what you are looking for.
As with purchasing anything online, make sure you buy from a reputable retailer and a secure website.
