I remember ordering what I thought was a book on magic tricks. It took months for it to arrive and during the waiting period I was preparing to be the next Houdini. The book finally came and it had no actual tricks. The book was an advertisement for magic tricks that you could then send away for. I threw the book away and years later found a flea market where you could buy magic tricks in person.
On the same scam line, my brother in law entered every contest that he could find. He never won anything, just ended up with a mailbox full of advertisements. My sister made the comment one time that they never ran out of paper to light the fireplace.

I remember getting a bag of live brine shrimp as a treat for tropical fish/tank. It ended well for the tropicals, if not the "Sea Monkeys."
