CLOSED AND FINISHED!Here it is folks: The Big Buddha Bag Giveaway!What can you Win? A 1916-D “Mercury Head” Silver Dime valued at over $60.00 and/or $20.00 Cash and/or a Big Buddha Purse and Wallet (retail value: $120.00)! At the very least you will win the "Big" Buddha!
This is a "big money" MOC ... so don't miss out!
How are you going to win??? I have a 1916-D Silver Dime in Class 38 condition (2 steps down from "uncirculated") .... It is Catalogue appraised at OVER $60.00 guaranteed!!!! I will take $20.00 of pennies (2000 of them) ... lay them out ... randomly place the dime in the lineup ... If a person guesses the location exactly they will win the Dime, the $20.00, and the purse and wallet! If a person comes closest within 3 +/- numbers of the exact location they will win only the $20.00 and the purse and wallet. Otherwise if a person comes closest to the exact location they will win only the purse and wallet. Of course, there will be a 'fun' daily qualifier "Travel Question" to make it multi-entry. Some answers will be harder to find than others, but all of them are available via the Internet.
ALL OF THE "TRAVEL QUESTIONS" ARE ACTUALLY FROM PLACES I VISITED AT THOSE DATES! (Fun, eh?)
It is my goal to make this contest as close to a “real” contest as possible!
This is how its going to work: (this is the fine print)
1. The MOC (
Members
Only
Contest) is going to run for 14 days. You can enter each day or only once, it is up to you.
2. The actual contest will
start on Thursday 29JAN09 and
end on Wednesday 11FEB09. The first clue will be posted on the 28th of January (today).
3. Each day will run from 12:01 AM
PST to 12:00 AM
PST (ie: midnight to midnight
PACIFIC STANDARD TIME)
4. Each day you will be presented with a different Mystery “
Travel Question” that will qualify you for a “
Number Guess” if you submit the
correct answer. You can enter multiple answers to the “
Travel Question” each day, but only your
first correct answer will count! Each person will receive
a total of ONLY 1 (one) entry per day.
5. The “
Travel Question” will be posted by me by 12 Noon, PST, the day
prior to the day it is to be answered. This allows you a full 35 hours and 59 minutes to find the answer!
6. The “
Number Guess” is where you think the “
Dime” is located among the 2000 pennies. (ie: your guess has to be between 1 and 2000)
7. The winner will be determined by the “
Number Guess”
closest to the actual location of the “
Dime”.
8. You
need to PM me with your “
Travel Question” answer and “
Number Guess” for each of the 14 days. Do
NOT post your “
Travel Question” answer or your “
Number Guess” in this thread!
9. You also need to post in THIS THREAD that you have entered for each day. 10. Prizing is as follows:
A. The “
Dime”, $20.00 cash, Purse and Wallet: IF you guess the EXACT location of the “
Dime”.(for example: 696) Total Estimated Value: $200.00
B. $20.00 Cash, Purse and Wallet: IF you guess the location of the “
Dime” within +/- 3 places. (for example: 693, 694, 695 – 697, 698, or 699) Total Estimated Value: $140.00
C. Purse and Wallet if otherwise you have the closest guess of the location of the “
Dime” out of all entries received. Total Estimated Value: $120.00
11. Any ties will be resolved by a
random draw.
12. The winning “number” will be recorded with a Moderator here on the site before the start of the MOC.
13. No member shall have any recourse if they get grumpy and are dissatisfied with the prize or any part of this MOC.
Let the fun begin!
