You could even put in a measly $10 each and the winner gets a $400 knife.

That's a nice Battle Mistress for $10 bucks if you win.

The odds are better than playing the lottery! Say, 1 in 40.

DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY... THIS IS AN IDEA GETTING MOLDED... SEND MONEY TO NO ONE


Collectors Group Thread

Here is a basic run down of what has been discussed....


$100 Fee – Receive $150 Shop Credit
Monthly Newsletter – Via email or Password protected forum
Secret Handshake
NO numbered members or memberships
Special Dog tags
Small chunk of infi for paper weight
$100 initiation fee plus $25 annual fee ( $150 shop credit)



My thought:

$100 Entry fee - $25 annual dues... $150 in shop credit for three knives
Secret Handshake
Special Dog Tags
Priority Status on Extravaganzas, sneak peeks, military overruns, etc.
Special Clothing I.E. Hooded Sweatshirt (Pullover style ;) ;) ), Hats, Patches
Challenge Coin
Maybe even a private section on the home forum

Also, any other ideas. I know this has been done before, but I have this bug about this and it's the same one as DEATH CHAT :eek: :eek: So you know what that entails ;) :eek:




PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA, POST IT... I WANT THIS TO BE FUN FOR ALL!!!

This sounds like a coll idea.
 
I have gotten a couple of great ideas from fellow hogs. Again, this is just a brain storm. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO EMAIL ME HOGS. I am just trying to get something thought up and will see what everyone thinks.

I just was curious on this and thought I would bring it up. These are SOLELY my ideas, and do not reflect anyone elses. Please drop me a line hogs :cool:
 
KAAK, what do you think of my raffle idea?

If 40 people chipped in $15/10/20 one of us could get an awsome knife and for $10 you can't go wrong.

Why don't we start with the 10inch Sub-Hilt Fighter? :D

I don't think many would be fond of the idea, myself included. I rather spend that $10 on shipping a knife than to take a chance. Just MHO.

yep,,

I think just having a random drawing of all the members that joined would be good enough. shouldnt have to pay extra just to have your name drawn outtava hat,,, but that just my opinion :cool:
 
I'm not worried about raffles or free give aways... I just thought it would be fun to have a group like team busse or such...
 
money sent, i used the same address as your last knife was sent to. let me know when you get it.
 
While this all sounds great, I think that the administration of this would almost be a full time job, maybe two, seriously.

Coordinating the receipt and tracking of paid vs not paid, used credits vs unused, other benefits, as well as potential dispute resolution, would get real cumbersome and ugly if the number of people/collectors involved gets large.

There are many many factors in the administration of this, not the least of which is manpower, which has to be allocated and funded.

I think that while we can all express our support for this, the final business decision will rest with Jerry.

Not to rain on the parade, just want to be sure we think about these factors too.

Agreed Mike and I think that those issues are exactly why nothing has come to fruition in this matter thus far. Jerry is busy enough as it is, I can't imagine him wanting to add to the work load. Now if a group of HOGS wanted to begin their own collector's club involving say a challenge coin, apparel and some sort of by laws, and only seek approval by Jerry that is one thing. Then the HOGS involved could carry on at Blade and the like as usual, they would just be slamming coins on the bar. :D I suppose there would not be much for Jerry to do but read the proposal and say yes or no. When you get discounts and credit involved, things can get very messed up. The simpler things are made for the folks at the shop, the better off they will like it.

You're not raining on any parade at all. I was just wondering if there was still interest. I'm not trying to do anything indepent or without Jerry's consent.

Maybe this is something for down the road :confused:
 
Is there maybe somthing that we could do with the company store :confused: Skunk may have more cycles to manage a club, of course with Jerry's blessing :D :D
 
Another thought was to have a minimum number of knives to join the collectors club. Something seperate of OINK. Just another thought :confused:

Any idea on how many knives would be necessary?

Mike does raise an excelent point. Managing this extra forum would be difficult. I think we would need another moderator. Perhaps we could have a vote?

That's a good idea. For $100 and $25 a year then it should be able to cover the costs.
