So because the elephant is on the table I will touch on the topic of Karma to me you offer something because you have something to offer and wish to see this thread thrive. If you later find something you want whether you ask to use credit or the offering party, or even the members around the thread suggest, using credit for goodwill you have already displayed is fine. I don't think that initial offerings w/o a claim should be done with the purposeful intent to claim later.
Karma will itself work out as example

has mentioned I am getting a knife claimed by another and a funny bit of karmic aspects around this win for me. I had secretly used my entry to
cchu518
laptop giveaway as an extra entry for
Yimes
who still didn't win but the ironic fact of this and where the knife is coming from does not escape me. I also had backed out of a previous claim for concerns that it might be an offering that would become a stagnant lingering offer out there. I will say even still I plan to find and create some offerings of my own they may not be quiet as equal a value but I hope to create some interesting offerings later this month. Despite any Karma I may have had I still want to put more into this thread and even with the Karma
Sharp & Fiery
has created for himself he is still putting things into the mix and adding to the life of the PiF.
I will say the PiF thread is fun even with minimal active participation just this talk thread and watching the amazing things others do. I haven't claimed or put anything in for some time simply because I have missed things or lacked items in mind to offer of reasonable value.
