Ad Free Fundraiser Prize(s) & Stretch Goals

[Randall Flagg]

I'll be giving away prize(s) to lucky members who donated to help keep the site ad free.


For every $10 a person donates they will receive one entry into our prize drawing. Maximum number of entries is 20.


Currently we are over $1,000.00 in donations so the first prize is an ARC of Suntup Press's The Haunting of Hill House. This includes the letter that came with the book.


If we reach $1,500 in donations, the next prize is an ARC of Suntup Press's Horns by Joe Hill. This includes the letter that came with the book.


If we reach $2,000 in donations, the next prize will be an ARC of Suntup Press's Misery!


All ARCs are as new, unread, but may have normal bumps and bruises associated with shipping and handling.

[Patrick]

Cool. Where’s the widget?

[Randall Flagg]

At the top of the page

[Patrick]

The problem must be my phone’s browser. On every page I see the message that a widget should appear on every page, but no widget.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Earl of Popkin]

Thanks RF

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks to all donors. FYI, we are over $1,300 right now, so $1.5K should be doable, and $2K isn't far fetched.

You can always just directly donate via PP to:

[cit74]

Is there a timeline for the donations?

[Randall Flagg]

I wanted to wrap it up by the end of February, so there is time left

If you had what money? Don’t go spreading fake news, Bill. :tongue:

That said, I do try to contribute on a meaningful level each year and have done so again just now. :)

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks to several recent donations, we are now over:




$1,600!

[Randall Flagg]

Just a polite bump. We could get to $2K and someone will win that Misery proof. Less than 1 year ago, we auctioned one off for our fundraiser and it sold for more than $1,800!

How long is left?

Thanks

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Donated.

[Randall Flagg]

We are a bit over $1,600!
The Fundraiser ends February 28, 2019.

Thought you were at $1879 RF?

Nevermind.. see my misread..

[Randall Flagg]

We are now over $1,850! Very close to that Misery ARC!

[Johnny007]

We should now be over the $2K mark.

John

[dnemec]

Sent in some more!

[Randall Flagg]

We should now be over the $2K mark.

John
Yes we are. Thanks!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

And this goes until when? I haven't put mine in yet.

Getting ready to do some sale items and giving 10% to the cause as well. If an item sales for $100, the buyer will Paypal (F&F) $90 and send the $10 into the fund raiser on their own so they get entered for the drawing.

Mulleins

[Randall Flagg]

Runs until end of February.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Runs until end of February.

Thank you!

Will be setting up some sale items this weekend.

[cit74]

If we get to $1900 I'll donate another $100 to get to $2K...I forgot to turn the page - and missed we were over - I will still donate that mark after next paycheck

[Randall Flagg]

We are currently over $2,100!

[Merlin1958]

We are currently over $2,100!


You're welcome!!!!!





:evil::cool::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:




Great job everyone!!!! As usual when the call goes out this online community responds in a BIG way!!!! Go ahead, pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it!!!! What a wonderful group!!!! I'm proud to call myself a member here.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I normally wouldn't do this inside Calvin Corner but this is for a good cause.

Over in the Dutch Hill (Other Authors list Classifieds) I've listed a large Clive Barker collection I'm helping a friend sell. A lot of the books are selling for publish price or even below. Don't be afraid to make an offer if you're looking to fill a hole in your Barker collection. Since the fundraiser is happening, if a book sales for $100, you will send me $90 (F&F Paypal) and you will send $10 to the fundraiser. This way you get the entry into the drawings that Jerome is going to do. The fundraiser only goes until Feb. 28th so don't delay.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Another $20 added for the cause.

What's the total Jerome?

Mulleins

[Randall Flagg]

$2,458!


Thanks to all that have helped. We still have 8 days to go.

[stroppygoblin]

Should be over the 2.5K now :evil:

[Room 217 Caretaker]

For the drawing purposes, do you see a name when someone donates through Paypal?

Mulleins

[Randall Flagg]

For the drawing purposes, do you see a name when someone donates through Paypal?

Mulleins
I know the persons name and email. Often I can figure out what their user name is. Much like previous fundraisers, there has never been a problem knowing who the winner is, and/or getting their prize to them.



I'll do the drawing the first week of March.

[herbertwest]

Dont bother. Given that Ari seems to have gottten his luck back, you may as well just give him right away...

[becca69]

Jerome, you can take my name out of the drawing as I already have all the Suntup ARCs and would rather give someone else a chance who doesn't.

[Randall Flagg]

Jerome, you can take my name out of the drawing as I already have all the Suntup ARCs and would rather give someone else a chance who doesn't.

Yes...and no.
Were you to be drawn, I'll send you something else cool that is not Suntup related. Maybe not as valuable as Misery Arc, but cool nonetheless.

[Randall Flagg]

True. I already have the custom forms filled out, just need the weight for which one Ari wins.

Well that would be very nice. Thanks J!

[George at C-Springs]

I'm not around much nowadays thanks to the demands of the job, but when I am I like the site ad-free ... donation made!

[MikeDuke]

$50 from me. But I already have the HHH ARC so if I were to win that (doubt I would win anything), I don't need that one.

[Ari_Racing]

Guys, I already have the three proofs as well, so you can take my name out of the box :)

[amd013]

So you're saying there's a chance for the rest of us! :)

[lotuz]

Donated!

Thanks for all you do Jerome (and all the other folks who work to keep this site as great as it is).

[The Library Policeman]

Donation made. Sorry it was so late but I made it!

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks to everyone who donated.
Solicitations end tomorrow. It's been a great year and I'm deeply appreciative of everyone's help.

[dnemec]

I'm just glad DT is still here for me to waste my time looking around!

[peripheral]

Excellent stuff, people... Be keen to hear the final figure.

[SystemCrashOverRide]

What was the tally in the end RF?

[Randall Flagg]

Just shy of $3K!


I'll get my stuff together and try to announce the winners this week.

Congrats to the winners. And it seems like there was a nice total for the site as well.

[firemonkey66]

Congrats all around!

[becca69]

Nice job and congrats everyone!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Congratulations to the winners.

Most importantly though, we all win by having a robust commercial free website to play on for another year.

I know you were really Jonesin' for those Suntup ARCs, Paul. I know a guy that works there if you need his info :)

[FlyerPhan0826]

Holy smokes I don't win anything... Sounds like I stole someone's good luck :)

As a new collector this site has been critical for me to start my collection on the right foot.

Thanks all for not only running an incredible site, but for offering such an amazing prize!

[Earl of Popkin]

Spike Lee is gonna be so pissed when he finds out he didn’t win

Congrats again. I am sure this will look great on your shelf. We were all new collectors at some point (myself included). Just keep on going,
and when you are done, you will have a nice collection you can be proud of. TBH, I never thought that buying a first ed Christine would lead me
to where I am now. So keep on going.

[Patrick]

What? Sweet!

Thanks for all you do, Jerome, and thank you everyone for keeping this site ad-free!

[jcmanske]

Such a wonderful surprise to step away from work, check this thread and see that I won the Joe Hill "Horns" ARC. Thanks Jerome for the note and giving us the opportunity to donate to keep the site ad free as opposed to going the corporate route. It also reinforces the concept that is "our" site where we come to share all things King with like minded collectors. I love this place!

[Merlin1958]

And now, Jerome is off to Vegas to play craps!!!! lol

[Randall Flagg]

No. I have no plans to go to Vegas, and I don't gamble.
