The Sledder

Ok, so I'm a bit late, but that gave a few more people an opportunity to get in. But as of now, no more new entries, please. Tomorrow evening, I'll finalize the list and work on getting the form prepared. Side note, if anyone knows how to set up one of those forms, feel free to PM me. Someone has always done that portion for me in the past. If not, I'm sure I can figure something out. But if someone could save me some time, that would be great. Thank you all for participating!

As of this post, I believe I'm caught up. I've added new items, fixed missing items, and updated some shipping preferences. Take a look at the original list and let me know if there's anything else amiss. I cannot tell you how much easier updating the list is now with a normal keyboard/mouse combo. SO MUCH SCROLLING on an iPad. It was maddening. But we've done it! Any others? Cutoff is tomorrow at noon. After that point, there will be sand to pound.

How strange! I vividly remember adding yours...but I also remember a strange quirk with your photo. I couldn't get it to upload to the site via my iPad, so I left a little note for myself in the listing itself to fix it. Now I go to look for it and I can't find it. I will be sure to get it on the list, but thanks for the extra set of eyes. I spent yesterday travelling back home. I'm back now (with a proper computer now) and hope to have the time to get an update done tonight during this home stretch. Please, double check the list to make sure nothing is missed. Thanks, @JazzMan

Ok! I believe I’m caught up to this post. Please check to see that all items are listed in the second post and double check that your shipping preferences are accurate. I also updated the title of this post per your requests. Only a few more days to get in on the fun! Anyone else?

Can you please clarify you shipping preference @Tghutcn? Are you in the UK and asking for extra shipping if anyone outside the UK claims it? Please advise.

If you want to split shipping, make a new post and include the donation number of your item so it’s easy to find and edit. I’m still on vacation and am doing this from a tablet, so the easier you can make it on me, the better. Something like: #32 Will split shipping 50/50 internationally. And again, make it a new post. If you edit your original post, guaranteed I’ll miss it.

I did do an update late last night. Looks like I’ve got another one to add as well. Please take a look at the new additions on page 1. Let me know if I skipped anything. I was jamming pretty hard to some holiday tunes while I did it.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I promise I’m still around, I’m just busy. Things should slow down for me for the next week or so, so I’m hoping to do another update to the main list in the next day or two. also, thanks to those who brought it to my attention that I missed @1Cool’s offering . I’ll make sure I get it in the next one. until then, feel free to tag some people to see if we can get some more participants. Remember, Santa’s watching!

All updated! North of 41 offerings now. Thanks to everyone participating so far! Who else is joining in on the fun?

All updated! Please check out the 2nd post for the newest offerings. Sorry for the delays. Who'd have thought December could be so busy? Really cool offerings so far! If you know of any CGC boardies who may enjoy participating, feel free to tag them here.

I just updated the list again. Take a look! Just putting it out there that @Barth, @Larryw7, and @BMoreLauren got the top 3 picks last year. I see Larry is already in this year. Maybe some of the others will try their luck again this year.

I believe the list (2nd post) is updated up until this post. Please feel free to look. Please check the list (twice ) to make sure I've got your shipping preference correct. Thanks!

@Axelrod don't worry, @comicginger1789is correct. I've got plenty more to add to the list. I'll update when I can.

I'm loving the participation so far! A few notes: @Bluemedgroupasked about a minimum. While there is no minimum, as others have said, it's not really in the spirit of the event to just offer a single coverless issue of drek. The collecting interests here are all over the map. Most people get one of their top 10 selections no matter where they fall in the picking order or what the value is. From experience, most people don't pick based on the value of the prize, but what they like. That said, the more generous the participants can be, the more fun this event is. This is the season of giving, after all! As someone mentioned, just saying "sign me up" does nothing. Officially enter when posting an offering. Along this same line, if you make a post as a placeholder saying "I'm in, I've just got to find something" or something like that, please make a NEW post when posting your offering. If you simply go back and edit the original post, it'll likely get missed. This has happened before and it's not fun. Finally, please double check the 2nd post in this thread when you get a chance to make sure it's correct. Unless it says "US ONLY", it's understood that you'll ship anywhere in the world. I've got some Thanksgiving stuff to take care of, but I'll be back later. I've populated the list with the first handful of items on offer and will be back to do more later. Thanks!

Just as a heads up, the Raffle Thread is now live!
