Deskthority Secret Santa

[Ascaii]

Anyone else think this is a nice idea? I would be willing to run it as well.

[webwit]

I like it! Too bad I already got rid of my Fujitsu Peerless...

[rodtang]

This sounds like it could be fun.

[guilleguillaume]

I like the idea.

We call it "Amigo invisible" here in Spain.

[HzFaq]

Sounds good.

[Ascaii]

I will sit down and try to come up with a list of rules and how to run this that makes the most sense.

[dirge]

I'm in, has Soarer been a good boy this year? (finally cleared a path to my desk and found his keyboard)

[Ascaii]

Proposed rules and method:

Rules:

Post your Country of residence in the Thread (once it is made, not this one)
PM your address to Ascaii with the following subject: "Secret Santa 2012"
All names will be thrown into a (literal) hat and randomly pulled to match everyone up. I will then send the address of the person you should send your gift to. Please scan or photograph the shipping receipt in case anything gets lost.

Only members that joined Deskthority before 1.12.2012 are eligible to join
The size and value of the gift is open, but it MUST be mechanical keyboard related, and must be useful (no busted caps, domes, or other trash)
Shipping charges are on you. Remember, this is a worldwide event, you might end up shipping to Europe, America, Asia, or anywhere else.

What do you think? any input?

[fossala]

I think a price limit would be good. I would send a handful of custom keycaps or maybe a filco custom controller, I wouldn't want to recive anything very expensive in return.

[kbdfr]

I suppose the pulling of the names will be only after a closing date?

And I for one wouldn't want a(n upper) price limit imposed on what I am going to send or to receive.

[dirge]

I'd most likely be sending a keyboard or two or ten. Need some damn space! Thing is with shipping we'd need to start soon in order to hit xmas!

[Ascaii]

Yeah, I am hoping to start moving quickly, deadline one week tops.
As for a limit, there is no need for a limit...its secret santa...I hope no one expects a free topre in the mail. But if someone wants to send something bigger, no harm done.

[fossala]

Yeah I guess, count me in.

[Findecanor]

Wait... I can't use this get rid of my rubber dome keyboards!? Darn...

[dirge]

Wait... I can't use this get rid of my rubber dome keyboards!? Darn...

Sure any Topre ones will be much appreciated

[hoggy]

I'm up for this.

[Ascaii]

Webwit, could you help me set up a cross-section sticky for tghis, would like to have it visible in market, keyboards, and DT related. I am ready to get this going.

[7bit]

Do you mean Wichteln?

I'm in, but might happen my package arrives in 2013.


edit: I mean December 2013!

[webwit]

Done. If you want to start a new thread and have that cross-section instead, just let me know when you make the new topic. Topic can only be sticky in one subforum under phpBB.

[Ekaros]

Too bad I don't have anything else than bunch of used MX blacks... Hmm would that work?

If they are smooth vintage blacks, just sending over the stems would be sufficient.

[longweight]

Sounds fun!

[Ascaii]

Here you go folks. http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t4495.html

Webwit, please sticky in market.

Hmm, on other hand I do have something else I might spare with...

Any price range suggestions?

[Ascaii]

anything goes.

[fossala]

anything goes.

That is keyboard related.

[dirge]

hope I don't get fossala, I've only got MX!

[Ascaii]

hope I don't get fossala, I've only got MX!

you wont get a nickname, just an address in any case

[litster]

so are we supposed to post pictures of what we received? and troll the people who send out white elephants?

[fossala]

hope I don't get fossala, I've only got MX!

Will we know afterwards?
