Christmas Clearance and Re-Gifting Mission

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

I had a blast with this Mission two years ago, let's try it again...I'll just use the same guidelines as we had before. You can read through the original to see how much fun we had. Of course, if you choose, you could send more than the guidelines suggest, some people sent quite a lot.

 

 

With the Christmas Missions coming near an end, I think it's time for me to try hosting a good old fashioned Trading Mission. For this Mission, each participant will need to send(at least) ONE Coin, and ONE other item. Here are the guidelines of the Mission:

 

Dates...

Sign up by Christmas(Dec. 25),

Receive assignment by New Years(Jan. 01),

Send package by the end of the month(Jan. 31).

 

Coins...

You will need to send ONE Unactivated, Trackable GeoCoin.

 

Other Items...

The "Other Item" that you should send can be either of the following:

 

A ReGift...

Passing on a Gift that you received for Christmas or,

 

Christmas Clearance...

Some item that you find in the After Christmas clearance sales.

 

This "Other Item" should be valued in the same Price range as a GeoCoin(about $5-12??)

 

How to Join...

Send me the following information(email through my profile, not PM's):

 

1. Your Caching Name

2. Your mailing Name and Address

3. An age range(as specific as you want your sender to consider)

4. A gender(for the recipient, meaning YOUR Gender, or the Gender of the name you're listing to participate. son/daughter/wife/husband, Etc)

 

The Fine Print...

You must be willing to ship internationally(if you are not, then please do not sign up).

Assignments will be completely RANDOM(you could get matched with Anyone, Any age, Anywhere,)

Please update this thread at each change in status, with the following for each entry(Limit of two has been cancelled):

 

Signed up: (Date)

Received Name: (Date)

Sent Package: (Date)

Received Package: (Date)

 

This is my first mission of this type, so please have patience. I do not always have control of when or if I can access the internet, so if I get behind on the assignments, please forgive me. I will not try to determine if you get matched up with your sender(you may get the same person that is sending to you, or you may not...Completely Random, but you will not get yourself). I reserve the right to update the fine print as needed.

Of course it's no longer my first Mission, but still, please have patience with me as I work the whole thing out.

Ooooh...Now you've DONE IT !! The limit on entries per account was two, but rather than kick one of you out, I'll just remove the limit. That was there because it was my first time hosting a Mission, and I wanted to make it easy. I think this time I can handle things, so it's OK to do more than two entries per account. I'll edit the OP.

Just to make sure that everyone reads the guidelines for the mission, this should be a package, and not just a card and a coin. The other items should be about the same value as a coin, at least. Also make sure to send me an enail through my profile if you're signing up. I'll be managing the list partly through a folder in my box, so I need each person to arrive in there. Thank you for the responses so far, we have about 25 entries so far.

Will give this a try. Hard to Geocache in the snow so this will keep me active. Email sent.

The Mission says sign-ups are open 'til Christmas. There's no specific time, so if you get a gift on Christmas Day that you don't know what to do with, then come on in and sign up. I'll make an announcement the day after Christmas when the Mission is closed (Don't yet know what time...Probably after I hit some of the sales).

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

There's just a week left to send in your name if you'd like to try this Mission.

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

Merry Christmas to you all. Take a look through that pile of gifts and see if there's one that you think would be better served by passing it along to some random stranger. I know you got at least one. Today is the last day to get signed up for this Mission. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your holiday!!

Edited December 25, 2010 by WRITE SHOP ROBERT

Morning Coffee...Check

Brunch with Friends...Check

Hitting a couple of stores to raid the clearance sales...Check

 

Signups for this Mission are officially closed. We have 36 names in the hat, and I'll be working on matching up some assignments. Thank you all for joining in.

 

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

OK, I have all the names assigned, I just have to double check a couple of little thinks and the emails will start flying. I'll work down through the list of entries, so the last to sign up will be the first to get their assignment. There are actually 37 in the hat.

[+EyeD10T]

Too cool - I cant wait. Have our gift in hand and ready to go!!

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

OK, so I've been having a problem...I can't paste anything into Hotmail from a Works document(it shuts down my IE)...But I think I have it resolved. I got the list moved into a Word document and I can paste from there. One assignment sent, the rest will happen tomorrow evening.

[+yanagi]

I have you both on the list, but my reply confirmation has failed. I cannot get through to your email. I'll try through a PM later.

 

I don't know what happened but I'll send you another PM with the Email address.
