Secret Santa 2017
« on: October 02, 2017, 08:32:24 AM »



Secret Santa is here again!  Here's the rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't / won't follow through.
2.  Sign ups are open until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will be sent out to their respective Santa.
3.  Due to an unfortunate issue last year, no noobs allowed.  Santas must have a minimum of 50 posts or have a long timer vouch for them.
4.  To make life easier for me, please fill in the form below when sending me your info.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.  Please don't ask Santa for relatively rare games that sell once every 90 days on ebay for reasonable prices; he's on a schedule and can't wait months for a deal to come along.
5.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated, unsold BIN pricing.
6.  Gifts should be mailed by December 9th to give the PO two full weeks.  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing but tears and empty dreams under their festivus pole.
7.  Also related to last year's issue, make sure your gift is sent with tracking.  If at all possible, it's strongly suggested that you have Santa send your gift to a secure location (work, PO box, a neighbor that's home, or held at the PO); if tracking says it was delivered but your package was stolen off your porch, it's not Santa's problem.
8.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you f*ck this up and I'll ban your ass.
9.  The most important rule is to have fun!

For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive 'coal in their stocking and another will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster.  If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.

Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

This space reserved for the list of participants.  Please send me a PM if your name isn't listed and it should be.

By the way, I don't need your wish list when you sign up.  That can wait until the end of the month, so y'all got plenty of time to think it over.

PM incoming!!!!!!!!!!!
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

List me as YES I hope the balloons I receive this year are as glorious as the prior, and look forward to shopping for my recipient!

Maybe this year I can avoid unintentionally buying a bootleg and having to wait for a second overseas package to arrive before sending my gift at the 11th hour.

Count me in, please.
