It seems only a little while ago, I had my 1000 post giveaway. My, how time flies! Or maybe, just my rambling has caught up with me! I’m nearing 2000 posts now, and it’s time to give something away again. This time, I’m certain I have something everybody will love! On the way to me are four of the BLF A6-SE group buy lights. One is already spoken for, and of course, I want to keep one myself, but that leaves a couple unspoken for. So I’ll offer one of them up to you guys. I have two tints on the way - 1A and 3D. The winner will get to choose which one he/she/it wants (can’t exclude raccoons and meese).
Ummm…. rules. Uhh… I guess we’ll keep it simple for this one. Just have to have been a member as of August 23, 2015 (yesterday). Post in this thread. I don’t care what you say. A simple “I’m in” or even a “I’m not in” will get you in the contest. :bigsmile: Winner will be decided randomly by a Random.org drawing some time after my 2000th post.
A couple things: I haven’t yet received my package(s), so it will be after that, however long it takes. But, several others are already getting theirs, so I have hope that I’ll see mine soon. Then again, I’ll be taking a trip from September 3rd through 8th, so unless I get my package this week or very early next week, it won’t be until after the 9th probably. That should give you an idea of the timeline, more or less. As of this post, I have 1940 posts to my name, so there is a slight chance it could take even longer, if I don’t post much between now and then. We’ll see!
Contest rules and conditions may be subject to change at any time and for any reason. But, I’m not that flaky, so they probably won’t. 8)
Edit: Well, I just realized that I never said anything about international shipping. So, this isn’t really a change, but an addendum. If shipping to you would cost more than the price of the light (which includes shipping from banggood) then I will probably go the cheaper route and buy another light and have it shipped to you. If that won’t work for any reason, we may have to make other provisions to reward the winner somehow. I will try to be as fair as possible.
Update 08-31-2015:
I got my four lights today in the mail. Two guys at work found out about them and each bought one from me (already gave me money). I currently have two of each tint - 1A and 3D. Since I promised the winner of this giveaway would get to choose tint, I’m going to give one of those guys a 1A and the other a 3D. They will have to decide between them who gets what.
Here’s the deal. One of the 3D lights has the o-ring sticking out a little in front of the rim of the reflector, under the glass. It doesn’t appear to be in front of the beam. Since those two guys paid for their lights, I won’t give them this 3D. I’m also not going to try to take it apart and fix it (some other guys found that to be a futile effort anyway). So, that means that the winner of this giveaway will have to choose whether to get the 1A without the o-ring issue, or the 3D with the o-ring issue. The other 1A and 3D are taken.
The lights all function as designed. There are no issues with modes or anything (some other people are having serious issues with theirs). These are good lights overall. The gift box is nice and feels like velvet. :shy: The clip is already attached to the light and there is a lanyard in the box.
I haven’t reached 2000 posts yet, but I’m working on it! However, I’ll be leaving home in a couple days and will return a week later. The drawing will have to be after that. So, there’s plenty of time for people to enter, and to decide which light you want if you win. For the internationals, if you win and you are in a location where it is cheaper for me to buy you a new light rather than ship you one I’ve already got, just know that I have no influence over quality control for these lights! Maybe we can work something else out if you don’t want to play the lottery. 0:)
Update 09-14-2015: The drawing has been done, and the winner is #74! Congratulations Firelight2! :party: Please decide which tint you want and give me your address so I can get it mailed to you!
