Admin Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ummm....Even if it is fully automated and the winners are drawn randomly by the script, I don't think it would be right by Birdman to buy tickets. After all, we are paying for these tools and I think it would be more fair if another member won these tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 No problem I will buy tickets in the next lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Guess the "tool crowd" is to small for such a lottery or all members have all the tools they need? The winner will have some great toos to play with for...um....christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I notice there has been no sales of tickets all day! There was a slight delay while I paid an esteemed dealer over on WatchTrader Is is just me, or has the number 13 just disappeared....

Everythingape Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I figure winning a set of watch tools will cost me more than it will do me any good ..I'm what we call a "Sledgehammer Mechanic"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneda Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 So then.. what happens if all the tickets don't get sold? And if we are to go ahead with the lotto, what would be the ending date? is it arbitrary? Questions abound.. also BUMP... and one more thing.. BUY TICKETS PEOPLE!!! -kaneda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, the lottery is set up so it will close automatically when all the tickets are sold. As soon as the last payment gets confirmed, the script draws the winners and sends an e-mail to all of them. IF not all the tickets get sold, we will ahve to wait at least until we have sold enough tickets to cover the cost of the prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Now this I don't like, the raffle is to raise funds for the board and Thomas is talking about selling enough ticket just to cover costs. Nearly everytime I log in there is around 150 members logged on but we can't find another 80 members to cough up 5 lousy bucks........................I mean hey if you don't want the prize you can always sell it for a big profit.

rmcsherry Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm surprised there are no takers - $5 wouldn't even buy lunch. *bump* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthebhoy Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Indeed. There are some nice tools up for grabs here and I know that more and more members are starting to experiment with some of their lower end reps. Ideal time to get a good set of tools I'd say. C'mon people let's get this lottery buzzing along. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I just tried to buy some more tickets to speed things up, and once again was refused access. After typing in my username and email address, a Windows password box appears - I fill in the username / password and access is denied. I just wonder if there is some kind of scripting error that is preventing some people from buying tickets, thus explaining the low sales? So, has anybody else experienced any problems?

Did you go to this page first? Registration page I found it a bit confusing when I went to the main page for the first time and the box popped up. I thought by filling in those boxes I was registering, not logging in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registration page I found it a bit confusing when I went to the main page for the first time and the box popped up. I thought by filling in those boxes I was registering, not logging in I registered the first time I bought tickets. The same problem happened originally, then I went back and it was fine. Oh well, I'll try again this evening, thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 OK, that's me down for 4 tickets, hoping to speed it up a little so I can win it faster.. I have come to appreciate this forum, and I feel safe knowing I can seek medical help here too.. I would appreciate you all to post lower res photos of your watches while I am at sea, seeing as the satellite connection is not that fast. Thanks 18, 23, 42 and 64 come on.. coooome on.. oooh lucky numbers oooooh lucky numbers.. I was 18 the first time I had real sex.. I've had sex with (roughly) 23 pretty girls, not counting girls who slapped me after. The oldest one I ever did it with was 42 (not counted in the 23 btw) And 64 because it was the first year they made the mighty Mustang. Edit: That's roughly as in "circa" not rough sex..

rmcsherry Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 It worked that time around - I had to enter my password 4 times in a row though!!

KB Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 C'mon everyone buy up these tickets and the next raffle will be for watches.......................promise Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yeah, Kenberg, I'll need new watches after going after mine with that lime-squeezer-looking thingy and those nailfiles.. And what's that blue thingy? Looks like what I use to get snot out of my baby girl's nose when she's got a cold... Anyway, my girlfriend told me I have to stop buying my watches if I get the highest bid on this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
