Title: Floating Gift Prize
Post by: Happy on May 24, 2008, 07:11 PM: Earlier today I was writing in a profile and this floating box sailed across the screen.

I clicked it. Next thing I know an enchanted wooden trunk was placed in my inventory. How often does something like this happen?

What did you get in it ?

Post by: MichelleXL on May 25, 2008, 05:52 AM: It happens at random times. You could get one every day, or never get one at all. Usually there are low-end pieces of furniture in them, and it's better to just sell them in the marketplace. But about 20% of the time, there is something worth around 1500g in it. So, it's really up to you. I'm a gambler and always open it, then always kick myself and say "Should have sold it!" lol

Post by: Happy on May 25, 2008, 07:49 AM: Right now I am :rofl1:. I honestly thought the "enchanted wooded trunk" was a piece of furniture for my guest room. :rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: I just took the chance and opened it. The actual prize was a retro telephone.

Hopefully everyone will see trunks floating around soon.

He got a grass skirt! :rofl1: All I could think of was the scene in "South Pacific" where the men are dressed in grass skirts and coconuts singing! :dle: :dle2:

:rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: I still have no clue if the phone was a valuable prize. Although I feel confident it is better than the crumpled piece of paper I got from the "daily chance"crane machine the other day.

What do you do with it? ??? Is is something you put in your house or an Item you use with your avatar?

Woot, Congrats! :trophy:

It looks like you have the gold box, not the wooden box. When you click it, it opens and reveals a prize. Here is a link to the list of possible items found in the box according to tektek.org.

I'd check the marketplace prices for the item you hope to receive. Then compare it to the selling price of the unopened box. It may be possible for you to sell the unopened box in the marketplace and use the proceeds to get what you really want.
