<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cazkaboom, post: 1814449, member: 33215&quot;]Hello Folks of Cointalk</p><p><br /></p><p>This year is the third annual Secret Santa Exchange. A sort of tradition I am trying to start.&nbsp; Save for a couple hiccups that happened, I&#039;ve had some success in this exchange and most of all, a lot of fun. And seeing as to the interest building up, I am sure a bunch of you have had fun too.</p><p>As for the people who don&#039;t know me, I am Cannyn and I will be the host of this year&#039;s Secret Santa gift exchange. Last year&#039;s exchange was a fun one, and lots of people enjoyed it. I asked around and the people who participated previously said they&#039;d happily do it again. So I am here to get all of you in the holiday mood. I found that if I put it in the Contest section (though not much of a contest) It&#039;ll stay up top of the sub-forum longer so this is where it&#039;ll lie.</p><p>If you are interested in participating, Feel free to comment here, PM your name and address to me and I will send a reply to let you know I got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will give until December 12th for the people interested to post, then I will put the names in a hat and draw for you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the rules of the exchange: Participating members must have 55 or more posts</p><p>The item(s) must be numismatically related</p><p>The item(s) will amount to the price of $15 or slightly around. Please have a conscience and do what is right.</p><p>You must mail your gifts when I send you the address of whom you are sending to</p><p>Do not put your screenname on the package unless you really want to let the cat out of the bag. But for our friends at the Post Office, please do write your residential name</p><p>Unless somebody states they are willing to ship internationally, this contest will be only open to people in the US (Sorry, we&#039;ve had a few problems <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) <b>(If I could get a volunteer or two, that&#039;d be great though)</b></p><p>I reserve the right to deny somebody the privilege to play if I do not trust them</p><p><br /></p><p>The procedure:</p><p>I Put every participating person&#039;s screen name in a container</p><p>I Put every screen name and address in another container</p><p>Draw one member, and draw out of the other bag and match them up.</p><p>If the name and member match, I will throw them back in and draw again so nobody gets themselves</p><p>If I draw people sending gifts to eachother, I will re-drawI send the addresses to those who are participating and the participants and you send a gift</p><p>You Send/receive gifts</p><p>You Open</p><p>You enjoy, thank, and boast on cointalk</p><p>Thread dies off eventually</p><p>Another exchange opens up next year</p><p><br /></p><p>If the gift comes early, as a challenge try to restrain your excitement of wanting to tear it open and wait until christmas (I lasted 20 minutes in 2011, and 2 days in 2012). Then feel free post what you got from your &quot;secret&quot; Santa (we love pictures here). This serves as a bit of a confirmation&nbsp; that you have received your gift and we see what you got.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now two years ago, there was a bump in the road from a member who didn&#039;t get the memo, and promptly got banned, so if you feel cheated, please don&#039;t make it public. Take it to either them, or me. Thanks in advance.</p><p>Also I would like to say, If you do not receive your gift, PM me and I&#039;ll see what I can do. I do not assume any responsibility for any lost/missing/stolen packages, but I may be able to help make it better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions to better the system? Let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let the gifting begin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
