Actually Justin, now all the names but Glycerine will go back into the random drawing. So the next 3 names will/can be totally different.

Here's what's going out to Jeremy (glycerine) tomorrow. Also, here is the tracking # 9405 5036 9930 0174 4740 71 I just created the label so it's not in the system yet, but it is the right #.
Also, for those who might not be familiar with this. You can save some $ by printing your shipping label at https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/landing.do it's free to sign up and it works similar to paypal. If anyone has any questions on this just let me know and I'll try to walk you through it.

According to the tracking, the box should be waiting for me when I get home from work. If you want to go ahead and get the next lucky winner, I'll swap out some blanks, snap some pics and send it on it's merry way tomorrow...

No one wants them? That's ok, I'll keep them!
Seriously, I had a hard time choosing which ones to keep. Jonathan, you make some nice blanks (and your wife, I saw one in there with her name on it!)
Anyway, I took 4 and left 4. Here are pics of the 4 I added to the package and a pic of all that I will be sending out whenever someone steps up to the plate!

Can you guys label them as to whether they are PR or Alumulite? I think it would be nice to know

Castings box
I probably missed this part along the way, so please excuse me for having to ask. How is the next person picked? It has my name and a couple of othes listed as to who could be next, are we supposed answer or does the person with the box decide.

3 names are picked randomly and the first person to post in the thread gets the box next. So if you see your name up there make a post and you get the box next.

Sorry I answered my own question I guess with my name being next I will be getting the box.....is this correct...thanks. Kevin

Nope!!!! You have to post in this thread that you want the box next!!!Just because your name is next or even up there does NOT mean you get the box. Post in this thread that you want the box next
The first person to post out of the three names up there gets the box next.
Timebandit

This is incorrect!!! He has to post in this thread that he wants the box next.If one of the other guys says he wants it next he will get it before him. Post that you want the box next!!
You are correct!!! I'll ship it out later when I take a lunch break... as long as Brooks shares your address with me by then

Maybe you're right, we'll let Jonathan decide!
EDIT: After reading the rules again, TECHNICALLY it just says the next person out of the three names to respond in the thread get the box. So even if he didn't know what he was responding to, he DID respond... does that count?

Thats what the rules say. And if not then i should be getting the box next because i was behind you on the first go around. He has to post that he wants the box next. Jonathan will clarify, but if i was him i would post in this thread that he wants the box next,just in case, other wise he might miss out. Just saying.

You're halfway there Kevin. Yes you are supposed to respond saying you'd like to get the box next. The arrangement I put the names has NO bearing on order. So if you'd like to get the box next please type a respond saying that you'd like to get it next. The reason for having to say "yes I'd like to get it next" is by saying so you're letting everyone know that you are able and willing to participate at that time and will do everything to quickly recieve and resend the box.
As of right now it is still up for grabs between 65Gtmustang, Louie, & Pensbydesign.
Ok...let me try and clear everything up.
This is how this is supposed to work.
I choose 3 names using a random number generator. I post those 3 names in the thread. The first person of those names to respond that they would like to recieve the box next will then get it. You must say that you want to get the box. It is ruled this way to prevent someone that might be out of town or going out of town from getting the box and slowing the process. After that person has responded the other names are put back into the number pool. They have no bearing on who is next or anything. So after Jeremy (glycerine) was the first to post to get the box the other 2 names (Timebandit & Goodturns) went back into the drawing along with everyone else to be chosen at random. There is no order to who gets the box. It's as random as I can make it and it leaves everyone to follow the thread to jump at their chance to get the box.
If there are any questions please ask. I don't want this to become frustrating for anyone. Hope that helps clear it up. It's a new process so it'll take some adjustment time. Thanks everyone and happy casting! :biggrin:

Ok, just printed the label online. Will drop off at the PO later. I posted pics already, here's the tracking number: 9405 9036 9930 0043 7381 89
Along with delivery confirmation, I also insured the package for $100. It only cost $2.30 extra and just in case something happened, I hate to see Jonathan lose all those blanks and get nothing in return!

Letting everyone know I got the "Golden Egg" in the mail.
I will go through the box for my picks and then add to the box this weekend. It will be ready to ship on Monday if I can get the next batter up!

Dear Lord,
Please let me be chosen after Seamus. And please let there be one of Seamus' cast quarter blanks in it. Maybe even a Kansas quarter. Lol :biggrin:
Amen.

Before and afters are always nice, but anything will work!
As far as Seamus being next, yes he already claimed it so he's getting it next. Just be sure to keep the blanks for the cast away box separate from whatever it is you're sending Seamus. It wouldn't be fair to the rest of us if it wasn't refilled to capacity with blanks for everyone else to enjoy. Let us know the tracking # once you've sent it out!
Lol...hell I'm considering pulling rank and slipping my own name into the next name pool! :biggrin:

Upon much debate as to whether I should make a quarter blank to throw in this box after it comes my way, not being sure where it may end up, I decided to get more interest on this thread and say that there will be a Tru-Quarter blank, but so that it could a universal blank, I've decided to go with a Bicentennial Quarter and I wont say what the background will be, so as to make it a surprise to the recipient!

heck ya, I ready to be drawn for the box. I bet this week anyone who signed up for the box is going to online 24 7.:biggrin: especially since it is coming from the quarter guru!
