Okay, this will be simple enough. Win an entry, if you do not already have "Ten", into the Grand Prize Giveaway", by guessing the actual final grand total for this years' Haven Fundraiser.

Post your guess here and then PM it to me to keep everyone honest. If you fail to PM me, your guess will not count. Award will be made when RF, posts the actual final total. If you do not already have an entry into the drawing, well here's your chance to be in it, to win it!!!! The member who guesses the number as close to the actual total, WITHOUT GOING OVER, WINS!!!


Edit: Deadline for submissions is 12:00pm AZ time

To be fair, there are two more, at least (hopefully), items still to come. What they are and how much they may bring is open to a guess.

I think, FWIW, that we may be capable of new unforeseen heights this year. But that is just my supposition. Everyone knows I am the eternal optimist!!


Remember, there are still two possible and lucrative (potentially) auctions to go. Also, Rachel Readman, has money for the HF from her personal sales of art items for the benefit of the HF. This should be a wide open competition!!!.


So far, I have recorded one "Official entry", Webstar1000. The prize is a signed "King" book!!!!

You and I are excluded, wise guy. I thought that was understood!! LOL So, Shannon your guess is $15,000.19? PM it or it will not count!!

Shannon already has the max 10 entries, so I am guessing he is screwing with his grandfather.

And by the way, I love that you are using The Price Is Right rules. They are relevant in most of life's situations, don't you think?

I just tried to PM you and I got this automatic reply:

"I'm sorry but Merlin is MINION unavailable at HAVEN FOUNDATION this time. Please try BOMBER your message again at YANKEES a later date. PENIS."

Weird, right?

Tell you what. Since you were the first to guess, I'll grant you a second, one time only, re-guess. Offer is open for the next 15 minutes. PM still required.

WTF is "AZ time" ?

Is that Pacific Time?

The time to throw fire and brimstone at Vegas?

Or the time we harvest Jimmy's Grandma for leather?


Or the time to catch the appropriately sized lizard, slam it good and hard. If the innards give way, reinforce the abdomen with duct tape and make a night of it?

I believe it is the same as PST, but if you want to whack your lizard it's okay by me. Feel free to have at it!! LOL

Okay, here's what I got so far...

Lookwhoitis - $13,777.00
Ari-Racing - $13,650.00
Stockerlone - $13,999.00
Ben Staad - $12,899.00
Webstar - $13,800.00

Becca69 - $13,319.00
Jimimck - $13,520.00
Dnemec - $13,825.00
StroppyGoblin - $14,270

If you submitted a guess and its not reflected please advise me. Remember, you have to post your guess here AND PM it to me. Good luck!!! I propose we revise the prize to include an entry for the second place guess. You should all bear in mind that the Grand Total has not been updated in awhile and there are still some auctions in the wings as well as a donation from, Rachel Readman for the art pieces she is selling.

Also, while I am obviously not eligible (as is RF) NO ONE will know the final total besides RF. He is the man!!

I'm not eligible for the Grand Prize, but I support the highest estimate. It's a good cause.

Merlin1958
05-11-2014, 08:03 PM
I'm not eligible either, but I'm gonna say north of $14K

No one, other than the, nine participants wants a chance at an entry into the, "Grand Prize Drawing"?????

Shannon

$1!

Even though I have the max ten points, if I win, that's points away from other (potentially winning) people. See, sneaky sneaky!

Now THAT's the kind of deviousness I can get behind! I also have max 10, so this is just a 'negative' guess :)

Well, I suppose you could award the entry to another member if you win. That is if you all agree with this option.


Also, I would again like to thank the members here and all the artists who contributed for what promises to be a once again ground breaking grand total!!! You people are simply wonderful!!!



Thank You!!!

Rules? We don't need no rules!!! I'm closing this thing up!! If you previously submitted a guess and have less than 10 entries into the Grand Prize Drawing, you will ALL receive an additional entry.

Best of luck to all and thanks for playing!!!
