It’s clear the owner is using the "it’s a gamble" defense to justify sending out low-value items. To make your Trustpilot review more impactful, you should lean into the discrepancy between the cost (£119.99) and the actual market value of the item received, while directly addressing their claim of "transparency."
Here is a revised version that is firm, professional, and harder for them to deflect:
Suggested Review Draft
Headline: Overpriced "Mystery Drop" – High price tag for low-value bin items
I participated in Watch Harbour’s £119.99 "Mystery Drop," and the experience was incredibly disappointing. I received a cheap Avia watch that feels and looks like it came straight out of a discount bin.
While the owner claims to be "transparent" about the mystery format, there is a massive gulf between "taking a chance" and receiving an item that is worth a fraction of the entry price. Paying £120 for a watch that lacks the quality or market value to justify that tier feels less like a fair mix of inventory and more like a way to offload low-value stock on hopeful customers.
The company's response to criticism is that the mystery format "isn’t for everyone," but that doesn't excuse the poor price-to-quality ratio. If you’re looking for a quality timepiece, save your £120 and buy something specific. This "drop" felt like a total rip-off, regardless of how many YouTube videos they post to justify it.
