DONE! Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Seiferd and to the winners!

I did tell Chiral not to bother with this, but since he was so insistent: I am glad to see he found a way to make it work out so that everyone can participate a little bit rather than one person paying a lot.

Thank you all for the Congratulations! While I don't think you need to participate in gifting us anything, it is very appreciated. It has been so amazing to see the amount of support we receive from you folks every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Sometimes us knife guys are stubborn ;) at least this time it's for a good reason!
 
Probably, my NZ paypal account was a little different than the US account. There were definitely less options available, though I don't remember exactly what.

Ahhh... I guess that explains why I couldn't find that category in my PayPal account. Although I can't participate, I can still congratulate you and Guy. I wish you guys eternal bliss and happiness. Stay healthy and God bless you all!

I would put in for you if we could figure out a way to put that entry in your name. ???

New Zealand Ellie? That's cool. I'm not picking up on any accent in your writing :)

You guys are trying to do it right. We see it, and we appreciate it sister. :thumbup:

This Chiral fella seems like he's got a heart of gold. I drive by his place on my way to my hunting land on the weekends. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to meet him. I for one am happy he got this going.

Hey that's pretty cool. If you stop in, give him a hard time for the rest of us ;) :D
 
I want to take part but PayPal doesn't allow me to send via friends and families. The only category shows payment for goods and services. Is it because I am out of the US?

I tried to reply to this earlier, but BF wouldn't let me for some reason.

If you follow the link in my OP, it is automatically set for 'friends & family' but may give you the option to switch to 'goods & services' - just don't switch. However, i am not sure if it works differently for international transactions... Andy, if you want in, just submit the entry per the OP and if it says it'll charge a fee (making the entry less than $10), don't worry about it, I've got you covered. Also, my wife and kids and I send our prayers.

BTW, late update, $640.

Indeed, I bothered her over the phone once and didn't catch a spoken accent!

Unfortunately, I lead a rather busy life and am on-call 24/7 which doesn't help me get to all the chores waiting around my little plot or meet up with some other dads I know after work once a month. If anyone figures out where I live, please no surprise visits :( But drop me a line and I'd be glad to meet sometime.

And thanks again to all for participating, I'm glad this is working out so well.
 
Hi Chiral, tried following your link and no go. I think PayPal has a different setup for folks outside the US.

Thanks for the prayers from you and family! God bless you all too! Amen?

Ah-HAH! It's just the paypal.me! Send me an e-mail by clicking on my username, I can give you my direct address for paypal instead of using the link :) Same goes for anyone else looking to participate for whom the link doesn't work, apparently "paypal.me" isn't set-up all over :p
 
Hey Everyone,
Ellie pointed out to me what this is up to now and I was a little shocked. I feel like I should add a little something more to this giveaway. It won't be worth much to anyone as a functional item but I'm throwing into the pot one of my original GSO-4 concept drawings. She is generally pretty adamant about me keeping my drawings but since I have the original one and another like it, that I retraced and colored, she says I can give one of them up. Chiral.Grolim is handling the giveaway so he can choose how this item will be given away. I would let the winner choose which of these drawings they would like.

Wow! I'm sure many here would agree, but that would be a really meaningful item. What a truly special idea :thumbup:

Wow!!!!!

Very cool!
 
Weekend Update: $730

One week left. A note - my plan was to stop accepting funds for this on Easter, March 27th, drawing to take place on March 28th - I'll do my best to have the video posted by that evening (US central time).

Given Guy's addition, I think we'll give that to name #2 on the list after the 12th randomization, if that is amenable to folks?
 
Chiral, I gotta keep giving you praise for this great idea. Very cool to see that number growing.

There is a very good chance that the winner will want the knife anyways, but maybe the winner could pick between the 2 and the runner up is stuck with whatever is left :D

That's my thought, but you should have full authority over this event. I leave the decision to your ample wisdom!
 
I am glad you could make exceptions for me to join even though I can't send my funds under the friends and family category. I appreciate the work the Seiferds put in and just wanted to be part of those who gave.
