Buying surprise products you don’t need for a price lower than their real value. This could be a good definition of the strange business model that arrives in Madrid this week in an ephemeral way. “My Mystery Package” is installed from Wednesday 27 to Saturday 30 (from 10h to 20h) in the Carrefour Gran Vía de Hortaleza shopping center in Madrid.
The definition of this model is simple: you buy a package (which you have previously been able to touch and whose interior you can only intuit), you open it and you can find “phones, designer clothes … but also unlikely objects such as sex toys,” the organization tells Madrid Secreto.
The company has already carried out these practices in other Spanish provinces such as Valencia or Tarragona, where it took place a couple of months ago. And this kind of lottery is made up of returned or lost products from companies like Amazon: “we buy lost packages directly from DHL in Germany”.
There will be a ton of kilos for sale and the price is a flat rate of 20€ per kilo. For this price you can get one large package or five small ones. To find out if that is the one you want, they say from the organization, “customers can touch the packages, look at them and choose them, and at the end we weigh them”.
