To make the most of a grab-bag, assume that you are going to get your least desirable item from the list. If that’s okay with you proceed. If not, maybe save that money and put it towards the outright purchase of the item of choice 🙂
You can buy up to ten grab-bags per customer, but keep in mind, each selection is random, there’s no guarantee you will receive unique items if you buy more than one. Especially since one of the earphones has a 50% chance.
These will ship in early May 2018 with all sales final as usual. You can’t return them if you don’t like your randomly selected choice.

This too gets a 1-year manufacturer warranty which is also better than no warranty 🙂
