[Pete44ru]

.

[3/25 EDIT: The winner is JRD ! CONGRATS, Jason (pls PM your addy to me) ]

[EDIT 3/19/14: It looks like there's a LOT of hats lost, that were previously thrown in the ring ! IIRC, there were at least 30 entrants before the forum changes earlier this week - so, PLEASE check this thread & repost if your previous post is among the missing ! ]

I can USPS mail this "Beretta 84" directly to the winner (lower 48 only, sorry) - SO, toss yer hat in the ring (again), if yer interested..........................

I'll draw a winner, one week from today. - EDIT 3/19: Due to entries apparently lost in the forum resetting, I am extending the drawing date to 3/25/14, to be fair & give interested parties a chance to repost.]

Sure why not.

Cool drawing, but one thing: USPS to Alaska is no different in cost than to many locations in the Lower 48.

One of my pet peeves is people refusing to ship to Alaska, or charging a premium to do so. There is usually no reason. Is it just because people are used to seeing others say the same thing? I can understand stuff like ammo, with the crazy UPS requirements and stuff, or hazardous materials that USPS won't ship, but everything else ships to AK just fine.

By the way, don't enter me in your drawing - I would rather this go to someone who will use it

[Mac in Mo]

I'm in. One of my boys would like this. Thanks for the chance.

AFAIK, every common carrier (UPS/FEDEX/etc), and USPS, has varying charges/postage according to how many of each particular shipper "zones" away the delivery is, from where the shipment starts.

Wherever anyone ships/mails (I only use USPS) a parcel (not a standard envelope) "from" is "Zone 1", whether the location is Florida or (in your case) Alaska - so shipment to somebody across-country (or further) can be several "zones" (+ $$) away from the point of departure.

[rossim92]

hey pete, when you give a motorcycle away, automatically count me in, ok?

[Steelbanger]

I can't see my original post so throw me in again please. Thank you.

[JRD]

Pete,
Please re-enter me. My boys would have fun with it.
Jason

[hightime]

Thank you for the chance.

[Ysabel Kid]

Please throw one entry in the hat for me, Pete - and one for Y2K to boot!

Thanks!

[AmBraCol]

Indeed a LOT of hats lost - including mine. I've got a couple grandkids and a nephew that would benefit from being exposed to such a nifty training tool. Please include yours truly in the drawing.

[Hawkeye2]

Put me back in.
Thanks,
Doug

A drawing? How does this work?

[rgates]

Put me back in, too. Thanks!

[Pete44ru]

A drawing? How does this work?

At the end of my self-set drawing entry period (say, a week), I count the number of posts, from first to last, of members wishing to participate in the drawing (say - 25).

I then use an online random-number generator with that number (say- 25), which randomly picks a number betwen zero and whatever number's plugged-in.
( http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/random/ )

I then re-count down the posts, again from first to last - until I get to the winning number post/member.

Due to the forum glitch last week, the drawing lost at least half of the 27 "hats" thrown into the ring - why I extended this drawing, with a message to check/repost if a member's post was among the missing.

I'm sorry to say that, this time, this drawing ended with less entries than the original (18, ILO around 30) thread had.

Nevertheless, WE HAVE A WINNER ! - member: JRD ! - Congrats, Jason (Please PM your snailmail addy to me)

Doesn't matter - as I jot down the name that goes with each number during the first count, as a double-check on my senioritis.

Sorry, David - but, no , I thought your inquiry serious ............ sometimes, it's hard (for me) to convey and/or discern intent, even with the use of an emoticon or three.

No harm, no foul.......
