Online marketplaces can be a goldmine or a minefield, teaching us the importance of always checking the fine print on what we're ordering.
There's one too many tales of people ordering furniture off the likes of Temu, thinking they've got a bargain, but eventually realizing they've ordered dollhouse furniture by mistake.
We've also seen a rise in people splashing the cash and spending on mystery boxes without having a clue about what's inside. It can be both a blessing and a curse, and away from someone giving an Apple employee $5,000 to make them a mystery box, the bravest of you are spending money on unknown lots of loot from the dark web.
One content creator recently struck it lucky when they got some near-perfect iPhones from Temu, although Amazon has faced the flames of controversy over its own Temu-inspired marketplace.

Now, some Tennessee-based creators have shelled out a jaw-dropping $10,000 on three Temu jet boats and were shocked by what they ended up with.
Goonzsquad had to wait six months for their colossal Temu delivery, but when three massive crates arrived, their latest YouTube video proves that the wait was worth it. As a forklift brought the crates into view, the creators were shocked as they cracked them open.
Cheering the purpose, the brothers gushed: "Dude, this thing changed our life. That's the best deal ever."

Claiming they use the mini electric jet boats every day, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a sponsored ad for Temu. Although they were originally skeptical that the boats would float due to their weight, it wasn't long before we got to see them in action.
Boasting a proper boat seat, steering wheel, and an apparent top speed of 50 km/h, these are nippy little rides. Still, at $3,300 each, we'd expect something pretty substantial.
The boys were surprised to learn that the boats actually float, and equally surprised by how fast they could go. Although they were impressed with the overall quality of the boats, the $10,000 price tag comes from shipping and Trump's tariffs, making it 'astronomical'.

Used jet boats can be found for around $2,000, and while these electric boats are dinky versions of that, the fact that a 2025 Yamaha 195S jet boat costs $50,300 suggests that Goonzsquad nabbed a pretty sweet deal for zipping around Tennessee.
Ultimately, they agreed that the jet boats were far more fun than going through a creek in a kayak or a normal-sized jet boat. One took some damage from a rock, and another bent its fin, but in the end, they were more than happy with their purchase – even planning on pimping them with LEDs.
If you and your pals have a spare $10,000, maybe Temu jet boats are the ones for you.
