Sleep Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Im giving away a 7" life like Pillsbury dough boy doll with a grand surprise in its detatchable head. All you have to do is be the 5th player to send me a common atari cart that i dont have. If you send me one that I do have than i will send it back and that turn wont count and youll have to try again. Mind you, your going to have to guess and find out what carts that I do have. This is a totally serious game and the winner wont even have to pay for shipping for this magnificent prize. This is a one of a kind contest with a one of a kind prize. DO NOT LET THIS OPPERTUNITY SLIP THROUGH YOUR PRECIOUS FINGERS. Good luck and happy cart sending to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 I smell a scam.... But in the spirit of the contest, I too have a secret suprise sitting here on my desk for the 7th person to send me a rarity 9 or 10 cart. This is a GREAT IDEA sleep! Thanks!

moycon Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Ummmmmm Not a very interactive contest is this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleep Posted November 7, 2002 Author Share Posted November 7, 2002 what do you mean interactive? thsi is the best darn contest ever! who dosnt wanna win a pilsbury doughboy doll! i mean come on! im sure you have like 5000 games you dont want! all im asking is for one! hell ill make it the first person who sends me a stupid game! i thought maybe people would jump on this and i could earn a couple of common carts, you know im trying my best here! what more could you ask for?

moycon Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Well it's like this, no-body knows who's ahead of the game, or what's going on... or anything. Lets say you recieve 50 carts you don't have. Who wins? And what do you go by? The PO date stamp? The cart you recieved first the 5th time? And by not interactive...I mean 20 people could be sending you carts and who on the boards would know??? Are they supposed to post what they are sending to the thread??? And if you do get 50 carts that you have are you willing to pay the $100 or so to mail em all back? I dunno. Seems like alot of time and effort to just give away a game. But to each his own. That's just my opinion dude, My opinion is not always shared by the masses so maybe the contest will be a great success and a ton o fun.

Inky Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 I have a great contest idea!!! Everyone send me all your Quadruns, Crazy Climbers, Chase the Chuckwagons, and Prototypes, and I'll high-tail it for Switzerland.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hmmm... this is a "contest," but you're asking for the equivilent of an "entry fee," aren't you? OK, you've set a precident: FROM THIS POINT ON: All future Sniderman Giveaways will now have a $3 entry fee for each participant to cover the cart, shipping, and my time. If your entry is incorrect, I will keep the money anyway. See? THAT'S why people are giving you Hell in this thread. Your "contest" is just a thinly-veiled trade thread....and only one person gets a prize, everyone else is just sending you free carts. (And the prize isn't really Atari-related either...) You need to put the kibosh on this quickly before folks start getting even more upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Sleep is goofy. But at least the subject line of this thread wasn't an uninformative open-ended title like, "Do you want a . . . " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
