PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Gentlemen,
I am taking requests in the order according to post time
and PM time, since I did not specify which I preferred.
The split is as follows -
this is not final:
1) Gawl - 3 - CONFIRMED
2) Gonnagal - 1 - CONFIRMED
3) Eringg - 2 - CONFIRMED
4) jlada - 1 - CONFIRMED
5) FRANCO593 - 1 - CONFIRMED
6) jayro75 - 3 - NOT CONFIRMED
7) donzz - 2 - NOT CONFIRMED
8) cajunblaze - 2 - CONFIRMED
9) bxcigrfan - 1 - NOT CONFIRMED
10) GregSVT - 2 - NOT CONFIRMED
11) northernmoris - 2 - CONFIRMED
12) simmsboard - 2 - CONFIRMED
13) zcigarman - 2 - CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
14) BigJake6904 - 2 - CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
15) NASTY - 1 - NOT CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
16) FlyingPanther - 1 - NOT CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
17) jyo567 - 1 - CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
18) gunsandcigars88 - 1 - CONFIRMED, pending drop outs
This makes the cut off at #12, simmsboard. This is subject to change. All those below him are pending drop outs or changes.
Given that it is a weekend, I will give everyone 72 hours to confirm their spot. Once you commit to the spot, barring some horrible unforeseen circumstances, you are obligated to pay your total. If by Monday evening you do not commit to purchasing the number of cigars you requested, you are moved to the bottom of the list and everyone below you gets knocked up 1 slot. No exceptions - period.
This seems harsh, but I want to be 100% clear on my rules. I believe it's the only fair way to get this done in a reasonable time frame. I want to purchase this by Tuesday if JackSchwartz is indeed open.
----------------------------
PAYMENT
To answer questions about payment, I am going to prefer (not require) a blanket pre-payment for everyone, with the following exceptions: 1) We have done business before or 2) You are a highly tenured member. What is a highly tenured member, by my definition? Quite some time on the board and/or many past trades with no issues. Again, I
prefer a pre-payment by everyone. If you have any doubt about my trades/credentials, feel free to PM anyone from my profile. I will accept online payment + fees (around 4%) or MO. No checks from anyone, sorry. If this is a MAJOR DEAL, we can discuss it via PM.
Your overall total will be: (950/22) + (Shipping to me/22) + (Shipping to you) + (Fees, if applicable) +(10ish if you win the humidor)
I do not need payment right now. I will PM when I am ready for payment.
----------------------------
LOTTERY
As far as the lottery, I'm going to handle a way that will make sense to no one (except Rod) until the results are posted. Here's whats gonna go down, and hopefully all the brothers agree to help. I'm going to PM Rod details. Only he will know my intentions and be able to interpret the results. I will then PM five brothers on this board. Each one of them will
publicly post some random nonesensical number series that none of you will have any clue how to interpret. These number series will dictate:
1) Which raffle number(s) each GB member gets. The brother posting the nonsensical number sequence will have no idea who gets assigned what number - Rod will.
2) A number to each cigar. The brother posting the nonsensical number sequence will have no idea which cigar is which number - Rod will.
After these are assigned, two more of the brothers here will
publicly post two more nonsensical number sequences:
3) One will be the ticket number of the member in the group buy. (Assigned by #1)
4) The last will be the cigar number the member gets. (Assigned by #2)
Since none of the four brothers will know who else is posting random numbers and how the final drawing will be determined, there is no chance anyone holds an interest in anything. It's 100% random. I wish everyone luck.
The last brother will
publicly post a single random number. This member number gets the humidor. No one knows all the players in on this except me, and even I can't interpret the results. I don't know which member number is going to be which. Again, 100% random.
----------------------------
SHIPPING
Shipping will be handled by Priority Click N Ship - $4.75 unless the weight of two/three cigars + coffins comes out to be > 1 lb - which I do not know yet. Also, whoever wins the humidor will need to pay an additional $10ish dollars for shipping. A small price to pay for that thing! The person who wins the humidor can also discuss insurance options with me.
----------------------------
I am going to clear out my PMs. I am going to PM you all. I would like the following information in one PM:
1) Name + Address
2) How you intend to pay - online or MO - I do not want payment now.
3) How many cigars I owe you.
4) Your written commitment to purchasing the cigars. If you cannot commit (see aforementioned stipulations), you get moved to the bottom.
Regards,
-Jeff
