<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1291132, member: 13650"]Since so many have come under attack for being the lucky ones to get in to get this set, I thought it would be interesting to see the numbers behind what the motivating factors were for our forum members here. By percentage. I'm guessing it's spread out pretty evenly but I could be wrong. Hopefully the poll will be informative and covers most cases. I will keep it anonymous but I will admit I wanted at least one set for my collection and for my new baby. We just had our first child the day before these went on sale. I'm sure many others will want these as a birth year set. </p><p><br /></p><p> I feel very fortunate to have lucked out and got in when I did. I had to check CT on my phone to see how sales were going. Once I saw the degree of panic that had set in, I decided to get going and take action. I was refreshing my laptop during lunch in a hospital cafeteria with my battery down to 25% when I finally got back to my shopping cart long enough to click quick check out at 1:05 p.m. CDT. </p><p><br /></p><p> Anyway, this was my original motivation to get a set. Then they set the household limit at 5 so I clicked 5. I figured, why not? I wanted to make sure I could get a nice set out of the bunch. Now I think I'm going to keep 3 sets and just sell 2 for whatever they go for to help pay for the ones I kept. It seemed like a rational strategy. I don't think anybody here would pass up the chance at a deal like this, I don't care what they say. I've never gotten in one of these before, so I'm not a habitual "flipper". This just happened to be one I got in on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
