This post explains how to log in for checking the actual status yourself.
Don't forget to click on "ALL" in the drop down menu (preset is only "100" visible entries) once you have logged in and if you click on sort by "date" you get a better idea how much time will be left... unless someone buys knives for $900 like in the last raffle. If you want to generate further money for the giveaways you can also use hbombs affiliate links to enter the shop. So you would contribute the maximum for the giveaways later by using the affiliate link and the coupon... it wouldn't cost you 1 dime extra and you later have the chance to participate in the raffles and win something nice.
The pot for the 3rd raffle is full (I updated post #166), but the pot for the 4th is already at ~$27... within a day.. some people are going crazy with the coupon. So after the raffle is before the raffle. ;-) I will set up a participation thread for raffle 3 today or tomorrow.
Anyway.. am glad that the pot for raffle#3 is full already. Last night i was thinking to buy something (anything!) only to be able to participate. Quite pathetic i am lol. The closure of participation took away my decision to order something or not. I feel relieved, thanks!! ;)
I hope the spending frenzy stops eventually, I can't organize a raffle every 3 days.
Already at $36.8146.9685.26 for raffle #4 that's crazy... did we make the frontpage of facebook or something?
Update: I think I figured out, what is happening... somebody (probably a BLF member?) posted the coupon on Red Flag Deals.... so Exduct is probably overrun by Canadians. :bigsmile: Who would have thought something like this would have such an impact... but see for yourself. (+ the end of post #166 ...starting at order number 8609). You can clearly see, when the deal was reported.
First of all: Thanks again, Vectrex, for all your effort! It's highly appreciated!
A question popped up regarding the current sales-explosion at exduct using the BLFgiveaway-code probably mostly by non-BLFers: What happens if we have less than 5 BLFers participating in a raffle? I know that's not very likely, but not entirely impossible either. I don't really have anything to say here because I didn't cotribute in any other way but by yelling repeatedly "I want to participate...", but my suggestion would be: If there will be any "leftovers" in a raffle it should go to Mr. Admin.
Leftovers could go into a present/coupon for Mr. Admin, or be divided between the winners. In the past Mr. Admin declined some coupons/presents, when they weren't forced on him :bigsmile: ... also he hasn't shown much interest in the subject. He let's us have fun with the whole knife topic... but he doesn't follow what's happening in the world of knives from what I have gathered from public and PM posts.
It was just a thought. I got the impression that force you must almost anything you want to give to the Admin, no matter what.
And btw Exduct has other items than knives, too (as I recently discovered :bigsmile: )
We should ask him first, if he would accept a coupon... knives are something I would never use as a "surprise gift"... customs/security etc. .... but somehow I doubt that we will ever have the case, where we have less than 5 participants.... but we will see.
