I have more than two orders on the list you posted (not gonna say how many orders or you'll think I'm crazy :crazy:). I'm sure there are also other people with more than one order on that list which reduces the number of participants a bit.
Yeah, you are probably right...
Deadline for the participation is Monday 3/19 24:00 PDT. So hurry up if you haven't entered yet. ;-)
Ok seeing as there was no resistance to my suggestion for a complimentary entry for Admin, I shall enter it now. It will be clear enough, and I state now, other than using this board I have no association with them.
Jeansy, I have just seen your post... so old4570 pretty much has to do the drawing now... even if Mr. Admin would respond to my PM... a little very last minute... but it will work out.... I hope.... I am not a big fan of changing the rules along the way... a heads up would have been nice..
You have chosen to ignore several of my posts and it was posted whilst you were online last time, if you really don't like it delete my entry, I'm not that bothered but I entered in good faith rather than using 7% codes. I am not overly thrilled about trusting someone I don't know to do it, I assume you havebeen PMing old4570?
My lottery suggestion seems fairer and transparent but you also ignored this. I shall not partake next time don't worry...
Yeah, I PMed old4570 as a backup in case Mr.Admin didn't see my PM in time. We can do the next raffle round your way, if everybody agrees. I think there were still some open questions about your way to do the raffle. I wrote you a PM to explain it better... I hope there are no hard feelings. From my personal point of view it is absolutely OK and a good idea to include Mr. Admin even it is very last minute... I just hope that everybody feels the same...
PM replied, no hard feelings. Maybe if more was discussed in open on the forum as opposed to PMs I would have seen the progress you had made and not interfered. If anyone else disagrees please say so and I will remove one entry (my personal one)
I kind of had to PM them to make sure they see it (and I see the responses).... I have turned off thread notification emails because of all the spamming.
I'm opposed to tossing Mr admin. into the drawing last minute ...just on principle .it wasn't discussed and jeansy isn't the only one with multiple orders here ... i think just because no one didn't disagree that doesn't allow people to change the rules in the middle of the game .there is another giveaway coming up right after this one ..feel free to add Mr.Admin. to that one .
Why dont you ask him first? What if he wins and says he doesnt want the prize? I offered Admin my last DD giftcard before I gave it away here, Mr Admin didnt even want it.
And make it transparent no PMs about what youre doing...if you want...
I have removed my entry then and left the one for mr Admin, I believe that is my right. Indeed, I feel bad now as mr admin has not even asked or ever asks for anything from the members here! And I'm sure he wouldn't of wanted to be the cause of any controversy. As to the further question and he doesn't want it, I'll donate it to another user that will likely do a little review and contribute to the forum, I want no part of it after this
That's kind of hard to guarantee to hear back from him in time, now. This is what I meant that it is a little too last minute for my taste. Jeansy's heart was in the right place and he wanted to make a nice gesture for BLF and Mr.Admin. Next time I will make sure everything is set in stone before we start, this is the 1st raffle that I'm organizing... so I hope everybody is still OK how everything works out... I am still learning. Jeansy now only has one entry and gives it away as price to Mr. Admin in case he wins... I think everybody can live with that? Good luck to everybody.
Hi Xatu and Cheapthrills,
I have seen that you entered in the raffle with orders that lay outside the first pot of $100 commission money, so your order would be eligible for the 2nd round raffle (100-200$ commission) but not the first one. Could you remove your entries from the 1st raffle thread? I will PM you again when the 2nd raffle round starts (we are currently at $21.14 for the 2nd round) so you can enter again with your already made purchases. If you still have questions, or suggestions how to make the rules more clear to everybody.... don't hesitate to contact me via PM or in this thread.
Oops. Removed now!
No problem CheapThrills. ;-)
We are now complete and the deadline for participation is reached.
We have 29 legal contestants. (Xatu can't participate in this round, but the next one).
So Jeansy's entry gets number 29 instead of 30. So I will contact old4570 to draw 5 unique numbers out of 29. He will post the result in this thread. I also updated the first post of the participation thread with a list of lottery tickets.
So... Sorry if this is taking this thread off topic, but..
I am experienced in buying from overseas vendors as I am in the U.S. and deal with China post on a semi-regular basis (flashlights, etc.). Has anybody received their knives from orders placed with this discount code yet? My order was placed on Feb 29 and it appears as if it has not even left the country yet.
Not exactly worried yet, but this is unusual according to my experiences.
Thanks
Hi cloud,
A order just reached me which I placed around 30 days ago from ED (before the coupon was active)... China Post is very slow on pretty much every seller I ordered from lately ... +65 from Ebay +45 and counting from Dino ... it seems to be a general problem and not necessarily a problem of a single seller. Since Jackyhu is now is also a member on this board now and given the track record of Exduct I am sure everything can be resolved to your satisfaction... but I know how you feel ... waiting sucks... on the other hand I was too cheap to afford the faster shipping options... so I kind of feel partly responsible for my own torture.
Thanks for the rapid reply Vectrex (and sorry for clogging that other thread briefly before I deleted over there and posted here). My recent manafont shipments were a bit delayed, but I chalked that up to HK post. Actually, my China Post shipments have been like clockwork up til now. Of course, now that I said that, I'm sure all the rest of my shipments will be coming via Mars...
I guess I need to exhibit a bit more patience because most of my delay has been from once the USPS gets the shipment...
I wonder when Paypal starts to think I am a customer that can't be trusted with all the cases/claims I filed lately on the 45/65 days limit.... I do not enjoy having to do that... I hope that things normalize pretty soon... might still be the after effects of Chinese new years.
Draw results ! 1 - 7 - 10 - 12 - 26
