5000 Post Give Away Inquiry

5,000 posts is quickly approaching!

I'm looking for ideas on what to giveaway and how to give it away.

Suggestions?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



The name is LEE!

    I think a silver american eagle given to the first 5000 responders would be an awesome give-away.

    If he could be given away to another country, and that was the prize, many would be all over it image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Make it a random lottery giveaway. Create a thread and anyone who posts to the thread is entered. Draw a name from a hat to decide the winner.

    Decide on a dollar amount that you want the giveaway to be worth. Say, for example $50.

    The winner gets to go to eBay and pick one coin worth $50 and you will bid and win the coin for them.

    Never met a giveaway I didnt like.

    An Ike variety?

    As for the method I dont have any really good ideas.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    You could buy the winner an eBay Gift Certificate.

    Just choose whomever you like the best and give them something.

    I like the Ebay gift certificate idea, but put a twist on it - the number of responses to this thread can be the $ amount! then pick the person with the least amount of replies. image

    Then have them pick another auction. It needs to be a coin really worth $50 to work. If you're bidding on $100 coins then it will never work. Better yet, have them pick a BIN auction at $50.

    Lots of great ideas so far, I kinda like the Ebay gift cert as well. For COINS only though!!!!

    Jim

    Collect raw morgans, walkers, mercs, SLQ, barber q. Looking at getting into earlier date coins pre 1900s.

  • mattnissmattniss Posts: 739 ✭✭✭✭
    Another possible idea could be a sweetened trade deal, where the winner gets to send you one of his coins in exchange for a coin of yours that's just a little nicer and perhaps, a bit more expensive. Sounds a little complicated now that I'm re-reading that to myself, but you catch my drift.

    How about a bag of 5000 Wheat pennies. Just a thought, congrats on 5000 posts. Yaha
  • DieClashDieClash Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭
    Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this great giveaway! image And Congrats on reaching 5000. image

    As for the prize, it should be the 1972 Type 2 Ike.

    Since you're an Ikester, why not a nice PCGS DCAM proof Ike?

    Despite my past scorn of "Bald Guy Bucks", I've cleaned up my act a little and give them a little more respect, now. image

    I still think the proofs are sexier than the business strikes, though.


    Edit: whoever made the eBay gift certificate idea had a stroke of genius. That's a good suggestion.
