What do you think of my Mystery Box Auctions?

Question
I haven't sold on ebay for awhile, but decided to start back again.
This time I'm selling in the Everything Else >> Mystery Auction category.
I hope I've set them up to attract bidders, and hopefully generate some much needed income. Please take a look and see what you think.

Answer
I think a mystery for a penny or a buck is fun. A mystery for $149 is too much mystery for me. No detail of "gold" type or weight. No size. Bid $149 on unknowns? Nope, not me. Combine that with $20.50 shipping?? All sales final?

Nope.

Answer
It's real gold, real rubies, real diamonds, and very much worth it.

Answer
Sorry but I've never sold in that category so won't be of much help. Do people really bid without knowing what they're buying?
Edited to add:
Apparently they do -- I took a look around and there's some people bidding big bucks for boxfuls of 'surprises'. Hard to believe. But hey, so long as they're happy I guess. (Didn't check any feedback while I was there...)

Okay, what the heck is this one about?

Answer
What karat gold? Is it marked? Why is the shipping over $20? Why are your sales all final?

Answer
Hi Meya,
Did you want to bid on one of my boxes?

Answer
I'd never bid in an auction like that, but if there are others out there who enjoy that kind of thing, I think you have set it up really well to entice them and make it fun!
Good luck with it!

Answer
No, I don't want to bid. Good luck.

Answer
Thank You TR!
I researched similar auctions first, then tried my best to do a good job.
The items that will be in the boxes, are all beautiful, and any woman would love them. Heck, I love them. They'll be getting very good, and valueable items, so the customer won't lose. In fact, they'll be getting merchandise worth a lot more than they'll be paying for it.
So, I'll see how it goes, and whether it's worth it to sell in this category.
