Bit the bullet and got the 400$ Mystery Box!

[PrincessTheo]

Finally did it and I'm pretty happy with what I got. Got the 400$ mystery box and picked the 100$ mystery as my freebie.
Got a male and female Aphonopelma Crinirufum 2.5"-3"
An Avic Purpurea 5"
Xenesthis Sp. MegaScopula 1.5"
Theraphosinae Sp. Chimu 0.5"
Pamphobeteus Sp Machala 1.5"-2"

Also got a Megaphobema Robustum 2.5 in confirmed female (ordered specific) and a pair of vinegaroons because I just love the nifty little things.
Not gonna lie, pretty happy with what I got, although I'm not a breeder so not sure about the pair of A. Crinirufums.
And now I have a bunch of little enclosures to set up My day is pretty happy.

Congrats on the big order!!! I’ve never gotten a mystery box.

I didn't want to regret what ones I chose over the ones I didn't, so had someone pick for me! Although I did pick the Robustum, one of my favorites.

I never do those, I know I'll be disappointed, the above is a good example of disappointment for me.

I've done best with dealers who I've become friends with, and they have picked a freebie for me that wasn't listed. That has always been a winner on my side.

For $400, I would have opted for one confirmed female B. smithi and maybe a little change left over. But hey, that's just me.

I already have a confirmed female smithi. This was a good way to get some species I may have honestly otherwise passed over at a glance, so I'm good with it

That's a good deal. You made most of your money back with the xenesthis. Was that 5" Purpurea or .5"?

 

[Wolfram1]

ah the times when you haven't reached a limit, ... those were great times

Ah no, 1 Inch. I must have fat fingered when I was typing.

Someday I'll be there I'm sure. I had to downsize a while back for a move but I'm in a better space to keep now so gotta build back up again.

I still think that's a good score. I'd be happy with it.

There aren't any other confirmed females you want? If I had money to burn like that, I'd want more of a sure thing. I guess I'm more of a quality versus quantity person.
