Christmas almost here who is ready for the GIVEAWAY?!!

[monojeff]

So guys who is ready for the annual Christmas/Holiday giveaway?

Hopefully we can get everyone in on it again and see some high numbers this year!
We had multiple boats and other awesome gifts given last year.

Dig through that messy garage/work bench of your and find something you can gift to another member on here and join in the giving sprit this year!

I will post here when the giveaway begins but typically it starts the day after thanksgiving and runs until first of the new year.

How many people can we get on board?!
Who's in on the fun?!


Here is how it works:
1)A forum section will be opened up the day after thanksgiving or right around there.
Everyone and anyone on the forum can participate!!!

2)If someone has a gift they want to offer up then they make a thread just like in the for sale section.
You may gift anything you want it does not need to be boat related.
(Giver specifies what the item is and how they want to have shipping covered or take care of it themselves.)
Same rules apply first person to say I will take it gets it.

3)Once the item is gifted the giftor posts the username of the person they are giving to into the gifted to thread so everyone knows and can help me keep track of things.
(ONLY 1 GIFT PER PERSON)
(NO ASKING FOR SOMETHING, like I NEED A MOTOR WHO HAS ONE?)
(DO NOT POST I WILL TAKE IT IN MULTIPLE THREADS)

4)If you take a gift then make sure your going to use it not something you hope to use one day.
You may not resell the item you were gifted at anytime or you will not be able to participate in the gifting again.
If you get something and end up not being able to use it then re-gift it to someone else.

Things to be noted:
You do not need to gift something to get a gift but it would be appreciated.
This is about the giving spirit and enjoying the OSE family together and holiday season.
Keep things civil and honest or I will shut things down if necessary.
We have done this for over 3 years now I believe it is and have never had a problem.

Awesome glad to hear it!
If anyone doesn't have anything to give no big deal join in the fun if possible again it doesn't need to be boating related.
Fun time for the OSE family to share together.

[srislash]

[monojeff]

Awesome guys would be great to have you join in.
It seams to gain interest as things go along always starts off a little bit slow.

[olwarbirds]

[HangTheMan]

Question Jeff, do we post all items at once? Or do we post each item in their own thread? Do we post it all on day 1 or 1 item per day? Just wanting to know the logistics. Thanks,

Dillin

[danallen]

I noticed that the new forum section is up.

A very fair question... I also would like to know the exact logistics of posting my stuffs.

Edit: "if someone has a gift they want to offer up then they make a thread just like in the for sale section.

(Giver specifies what the item is and how they want to have shipping covered or take care of it themselves.)

So, I suppose that you should create a thread for every item that you want to give.

[Diegoboy]

You don't have to create a thread for each item, but it makes it easier in my opinion.

[tlandauer]

I thought that's what/how we did it in the past, you post an item you want to give, I included 2 items in the same thread, just like if you have multiple items for sale but only create one thread.
I suppose I want to know too, since i am in for this.

[monojeff]

It's easier to keep items separate unless your gifting multiple items to one person as package.
Everyone will get the hang of it as it goes on.
Basically same as sale threads aside from it being a giveaway.
Package deals or single item as one thread. If you have multiple things to give away then make separate threads.

Let's keep it fun and all is good.
Remember it's about the giving.
Some other forums seam to have a few guys that want to mess things up for others and stir the pot a bit.
So far past 3 years I think it is we have only had a few hiccups along the way but always has gone smoothly.
Let's keep it that way so everyone can enjoy it year after year!
Happy holidays everyone!!

[monojeff]

I'll kick things off with the first item on Friday sometime so keep an eye out for things to start on friday!

[Fella1340]

I'm in.

[Diegoboy]

Jeff is finally online!!

[monojeff]

Rules have been posted please read first then have some fun and gift away!!
Happy Holidays Guys!!!!

[monojeff]

OK, I'll get this going. I have a nice offset rudder/strut that I bought and never did use. The rudder is 100mm long from the lower hinge down and has a 5mm prop shaft hole. It might be just what someone out there needs. I'll gift it shipped to anywhere in the CONUS.

Please start a thread here with your item.
