    Edited to Add: STOP buying these bags. They're a ripoff and returns aren't accepted.
    My $1,000 and $100 grab bags arrived and they are actually even worse than this one. The owner said he "unfortunately can't accept a return" and "grab bags aren't for everyone" because you "can't have an expectation of what will be in the bag". I offered to pay for return shipping. He didn't respond. He also said he didn't understand where I got the idea that the items would be one of a kind and not mass produced because it doesn't say they'll be one of a kind in the item description. Etsy intervened. I told them he's selling cheap crap in a "blind" format because people wouldn't pay for it otherwise. He told Etsy the items were valuable and worth the price paid. Etsy forced him to issue me a refund and he paid return shipping.
    I had started filming the unboxing video I planned for the $1,000 bag but the items were very cheap, mass produced miniatures and I had to stop filming because nobody wants to see me open cheap, mass produced duplicate items. I also received imitation matchbox cars, bits of full size flowers and the worst item of all: a piece of trash plastic someone was using as a paint dish. I wish I was kidding.
    I edited the video description and thumbnail after having a second, worse experience over a year after the first purchase.
    Original Video Description:
    Hi everyone! I apologize that this video isn't up to my usual standards. I recorded it before I bought a camera and voiceover equipment.
    Also, I'm publishing this video April 1st but this is not a joke! This is what was actually in my mystery grab bag.
    I purchased a mystery grab bag from Flip This Dollhouse in New Bedford in 2021. Let me know what you think about what I got.
    I was disappointed enough with the contents to message the owner and ask if I received a dud or if this was typical. He said it was typical and "it says 'as is', right?" But then he decided to send me some additional items. There was a cool print with a copper frame so I appreciated that.
    I was reluctant to post this video but there are people who left reviews on the Etsy shop who had similar disappointing experiences so I decided to share to give an idea of what you could find inside.
    I did recently purchase the $1000 mystery grab bag and a $100 bag from Flip This Dollhouse which I expect will have great items. The owner was very generous and offered to give me extra items in the bags so I'm excited to open those on my channel.
    I have been toiling away learning how to film and edit videos for TH-cam. I have lots of projects planned ranging from dollhouse miniature accessories and furniture to dollhouses/dioramas in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale as well as smaller Harry Potter builds.
    PLEASE comment! I love talking to you guys and I look forward to your comments so much.

      Ugh, you have no idea how bad it can get. I bought a $1,000 grab bag and $100 grab bag. I got them for half off so I paid $550. The contents are literally worth maybe $100 in total. I asked for a refund and the seller said no and that "you can't have an expectation of what will be in a bag". He insists the contents are worth $2,000. It's a whole aggravating thing right now with me fighting for a refund. I'll be posting a video about the saga either way as a cautionary tale.

      I have seen people open other bags of his and they were so much better than the $1100 of grab bags I got. At least they got some unique stuff. Mine were filled with essentially the same items: dollar tree glass bottles with corks, plastic pots of flowers, bottle cap pies, ring cake, cheap books. There were Mayberry Street Miniature sccessories with the $1.99 price tag cut off the corner and a $9 price tag attached. These are modern items you can get at Hobby Lobby for $1.99. Why are they suddenly worth 4.5 times more because they pass through Flip This Dollhouse's store?

      I think the quality of Flip This Dollhouse's bags was better and then went downhill the more popular they became. I hope they're back on the upswing bc putting crap like that into a mystery bag is not acceptable. Only 7 of the items were actually miniatures and pretty much everything was "as is".

      Oh it gets so much worse! I bought a $100 grab bag and $1000 grab bag to compare the two. I figured Flip This Dollhouse would redeem itself. It was filled with cheap, duplicate crap. The owner, Nathaniel, refused to give me a refund even though I asked for one the very next day after it arrived and I was willing to pay to return it. I had to open a case on Etsy. I argued that Flip This Dollhouse sells cheap junk in a mystery format with no returns accepted because people wouldn't pay it if they could see what they're buying. Nathaniel said the items were worth $2,000. Etsy ruled in my favor and forced a refund. Nathaniel only gave me one refund so I'm currently working with PayPal to get the rest of my money back. Very, very bad experience.

    Wow, that sucks! The prices marked on them are ridiculously high. Who pays $6 for three pieces of stick? Was the silverware set complete? I've gotten great results with that particular style, refining the shapes with files and sand-paper. The quilt and "clothes" are seriously embarrassing, although I suppose some people would appreciate the primitive style. I never really got that, but then I'm a professional seamstress. I would have gotten very excited by the needlework kit, but, like you, seriously let down by the incompleteness of it. Still, it wouldn't be that hard to make a frame and stand, or use the needlework, unfinished, as a "WIP". All in all, I'm glad I'm not a gambler, and never buy grab bags, as tempting as they can be.

    • @queencityminis

      No, the silverware set wasn't complete and a couple of the pieces were broken. That's a great idea about trying to refine the pieces. I'd love to see the outcome of that.
      I was disappointed in the clothing and quilt for sure but the Play-Doh food really sank my spirits. It was the 3rd item I opened and I was seriously confused why it would be in there. I would have felt better about the purchase if it had been a grab bag of 10 items and most of the junk wasn't in there at all. I was pretty let down by the contents.
      I still have the incomplete kit. I have a House of Miniatures fire screen and could use the base of that to try to complete the kit although the missing frame is a bit annoying. It will need a whole new frame. I don't do needlepoint though. I'm a bit too impatient for that.

      It's too broken, too worthless en too much of the same s...t.
      The lady (that you know) with the bear and a dozen baskets and plantpots, was trying to be very positive but she did not apear very happy too.
      Even the vase, she seemed so happy about did not make it right, i think.
      Btw did you also have to pay for 'the stamp'?
      Or does flop the dullhouse pay for shipping.

      @queencityminis  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, this came from Flip This Dollhouse. I went to the store in Massachusetts to shop. I bought this mystery bag for $40. It's normally $100! Then I gave them another shot over a year later and the contents were so much work. There 20+ bottle cap "pies" in one single bag and a bunch of really cheap, individual books as well as Dollar Tree glass bottles that come 8 in a pack for $1.25. The owner, Nathaniel, was a nightmare. I bought the bags on Etsy and he refused to give me a refund. I told Etsy he's selling cheap crap in a mystery format bc you wouldn't buy it if you could see what you were looking at. He defended himself saying you can't have an expectation of what will be in the bag and that the junk I received was worth over a thousand dollars. Etsy sided with me and forced a refund.
      Also, the prices were crazy, even during a 60% off sale. They were selling mass produced, cheap chairs for $20. Earth & Tree Miniatures in Amherst, NH sells the same chairs for $7 each.

      Yep. Flip This Dollhouse. It seems to me the bags gained popularity and traction through TH-cam and the quality went way down.

      "Audacity" is a great word. I bought two new bags from him to compare the quality of each bag and they were SO MUCH worse than this one! They had tons of duplicates of cheap stuff. I asked for a refund the day I received them and offered to pay return shipping and he said no so I had to open an Etsy dispute. Etsy ruled in my favor and made him give me a refund and pay for return shipping. He is selling cheap crap in a "mystery bag" format because nobody would ever pay that amount if they could see what they were buying.
