Gamechanger.
why don't you cap the entries at -300-400
please make a limit

no limit of tickets being sold. will definitely decrease the amount of participants
I have a feeling a lot more will sell than expected
i would buy in if there was a low amount of tickets sold
Why in the world is everyone so worried about setting a max number of tickets sold??
At this point we're not even hitting the minimum number of tickets that need to be sold   ::)

If it was shayach for me I would only want to enter if I understood the odds of winning. Without placing a cap there's no way to know.

This isn't making it anywhere near 1K tickets. I'm not going to retweet it ever day like day 1.
A few hundred tickets at the current average price of $99 per ticket wouldn't even cover the costs though. So we'll see if it happens.

Hopefully you will get an influx at the end then.

500 tickets would do it, i think. i assume you will repost a day or 2 before its over. i would get then if the pool is not too large.

It's impossible to be like a regular chinese auction. Like others have said even if we had the cash we can't simply put life on hold. In a regular auction, you win 2 tix and you choose the time and place.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

That's the goal. I'm just not sure we'll make it there.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
