my second gift no 50 :

Number 51 - Another Gift from Admin.

Keep the gifts rolling in folks.

EVERYONE has some spare stuff laying about.

============


















We have had some of the things above made in the USA as souvenirs. Into T Shirts and pens etc that some members have asked if they might buy. Details here -

http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=35836

We did not make many due to the high cost of small runs in full colour, so first in - first served.

This prize is for a T Shirt, custom printed logo pen, window decal, large 2012 Fridge Calendar, and other goodies - value $45 posted free!

UK member gavin-h is shown above with a range of all of them he won in a competition at Christmas.

Since a birthday is a high-light of the year, why not some high-values to celebrate. Everyone likes to "ooh-ahh" over high face values.

In the interest of complete transparency, I decided 5 otherwise eligible members were disqualified when their numbers came up, with Glen's agreement.

They were me (as Auditor of the Thread) GJ50 (who Provided the numbers), two "members" who made one post each simply linking back to their Web Site, and one who made 4 posts all asking for free stuff.

None of the latter three ever came back. All other eligible member numbers were approved.

As per Glen's instructions (slightly modified here due to the late posting of the results and all the time zones involved the donor of the gift should now email the winner by Board eMail within 24 hours, and the recipient respond with best postal address by eMail within a further 48 Hours.

With kind regards, Jim

Important Notes folks –

1 - Please post HERE as others have started to do that you HAVE made contact with your gift receiver - we know then that you have done YOUR part.

2 - When emailing your gift receiver, common sense dictates you MUST add a link to this thread in your email -

http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35395

Why? 95% of receivers have zero clue this thread exists, and will assume someone emailing them for their address is a scammer or conman of some kind - and ignore you, and/or delete your email!

And use a heading they will notice, that does NOT appear to be spam! Sending as heading “Free Gift for You” will be deleted unopened by most folks these days!

I donated prize #1 and the winner was "Lauren" of Nova Scotia Canada, who has 3 posts.

So my email said to her and my other giftee - feel free to copy my wording if you wish -

Heading -

“Lauren - you have won a stamp prize from Stampboards and me - true!”

Text –

Hi Lauren - you may not realise it but you won a stamp prize I donated - prize #1 - in the recent stampboards 5th Birthday competition.

Full details of your prize and the competition is found here -

http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35395

Please let me have your best mailing address within 48 hours of this email, and I will mail the prize to you post free.

If I do not hear from you in that 48 hour timeframe, the rules say you are ineligible, so please respond as soon as you can.

Congratulations – and by all means add a note to thread here to indicate you got this email –

http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35395

Thanks, and enjoy your prize for Stampboards Birthday number 5 –

Glen Stephens

We do not charge extra to send extra emails here.

Same applies to all others who have not used my wording or a close version of it.

To Richaard, I'd be sending the second one to be honest. Trust me.

Glen

Norm, the receiver of my gift has been chosen twice. Is that a wee mistake? Should I go ahead and contact him?

3681 brucerob9 Gift 9 ScotsmanAbroad

Happy Stampboards Day!

I literally laughed so loud, my daughter asked me about it. I couldn't explain. She could never have understood.

Yes. The numbers were all randomly generated, and I needed three different sets of 200 RNG's, kindly provided by GJ50 (Gary Brown).

There were a couple of double ups, including ineligible members, which can happen with a RNG. In fact in the last lot, the same number was generated 5 numbers apart.

Anybody who got two, good luck to them.
