Secret Santa 2011

[Necromancer]

I only went over by a smidge: one game came from Amazon ($15), one from Bimmer for cheap ($8), and one as part of a lot for cheap ($10).  Sometimes sweet deals can be found (the bigger the list, the easier it is), but sometimes you have to settle for a merely fair deal when you can't wait.

I still don't know who my SS was...

Did your package come from Tennessee and use old caps as packing peanuts? 

[MotherGunner]

I don't remember peanuts, more like bubble wrap.  =)

I think I spent total $50 something for the games I got. 1 game I paid $18 for and the other I got a lotof 7 games for $33. I got some games I needed and snagged SS gifts. Now to go thru and see if I have doubles. Or maybe ill hol on to the dubs till next SS time and giv them all away if so need be.

Wow, clearly some of you guys went way above the $25-$30 limit.  Where did you guys shop for these?

I got Ark's gift at game of japan since it was the cheapest I could find but now I feel bad for only giving one game when everyone else is getting 2 or 3.  I still don't know who my SS was...

Some of the stuff I had already as a duplicates, some of the other stuff I worked out a trade for.  So I really cant say how much on spent on my person's stuff since I really didn't shell out any cash.

People always go overboard... I even felt that I didnt really do enough for my person... just one game and some other random fru fru.  Granted the game was boxed... but it wasn't all that rare or anything...

Old caps are disposed of in accordance to the hazardous waste protocols here in Tennessee... that said I use non-biodegradable bubble wrap on my packages.

Need any more hints MG?

Who lives in Tennessee again?

[blueraven]

Gnomes.

That is to say, they're summarily deposited in the nearest toilet or open storm drain.

Or have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

[Mathius]

I thought I saw a Gnome driving a BMW last time I was down there!

[MotherGunner]

Ha ha!  Thanks Beemer!

I thought it was a cap of $35, so I might have gone over a bit.  I'm assuming that meant before postage was factored in right?

One game I got off eBay for about $25, the other game I found in a local shop for $10 and didn't realize it was pseudo rare but still on my guy's list.  Then I had some random things and kids toys that I threw in for extra measure and wrapped and sent that sucker off.

True Story:
With the first copy of the game I bought off eBay from a seller, he couldn't find it so he refunded my money and sent me China Warrior as an apology.
