marnanel mentioned recently that Bobcat in a box, a service based on an XKCD cartoon, which buys cheap things on ebay and sends them as a surprise. I haven't given it any keywords yet,but I intend to give it quite a few so I'm more likely to get things I like while still being surprising. If I post about the things I get here, is that of interest to you? Or should I only post if I get a bobcat?
Update: I just got my login/setup email! This is where I add keywords, and then tomorrow the bot buys its first thing for me. Note for others: it took 3 days for my email to arrive and the keywords are select-from-a-list rather than write in. Sadly, 'bobcat' is only on the negative list, so I'm going to email and ask if I can have it added to my positive keywords. I've chosen a gazillion keywords (the more keywords the more random it is - unless you have no keywords at all - because it's an OR not an AND so it could be from any one of the keywords) and just a couple of negative keywords (because I don't want Nestle, or anything sex-related).
