Also, I may decide to draw something for this year too. Maybe I'll draw better? Probably not.

I have an idea of something to do but I dunno how awesome I can make it.

i have some stuff. nothing huge this year, but i definitely have some stuff to donate. some of it may not qualify as "not junk" and that's fine, so i trust dave's judgment on this one.

Repros are fair game on GameGavel

Dsh, Game Gavel wont have a problem with the repro carts, right?

Awesome, because these repros are gonna be EPIC!

Last year we had some digital downloads as mystery prizes tied to bidding higher then a certain ammount on certain items. I don't think that worked too well as it ended up encouraging low bids on a lot of items that otherwise would not have been bid on. In the end it pushed the cost of shipping up but did not add a whole lot to the profits.

However, I have a bunch of digital gifts that I have been saving for this, so I was just wondering if there are any plans to improve that system at all, or even replace it with a better system. Maybe a raffle of some sorts, buying in for really cheap to get a chance to win one. Or maybe as prizes given out to people that cause us to pass certain money milestones (ie. the person who causes us to pass the $500 dollar mark gets his choice of digital game, even if he doesn't win the item he bid on that caused us to pass $500).

I don't know, just thinking about some stuff. Thoughts would be appreciated.

You can do it like radio, where the 29th (or some random number) caller wins, but make the number a secret.

so far we don't have many donations - we need a good amount to make this worthwhile!

Start sending me your lists and pics!

I'm still compiling and brainstorming.

This is the last week for donations...we have very few so far

Impress me this week people!

what's the word for the "special" item i asked you about last week? i have some other things but i'm waiting on the yea/nay for that one.
