Win a 7x7 from Speedsolving.com - Contest!

[SD14]

i would enter but i am trying to save to buy a new computer and i need all the money i can get

 

[Blue Transaparent]

I'm in.... nice..
a dollar it is

 

[panda]

this contest should only be valid for people who haven't ordered any v-cubes yet.

such as myself... i'll put in what i can find.

 

[Lucas Garron]

Would it be possible to pay at Nationals?

You're not even going to Nationals.

Note the suggestive introductory hypothetical.

(My expectations have changed from "going" to "not going," but I can still dream!)

Dan said he would be willing to collect money at Nationals, if anyone wants to. If no one plans on doing so, it would nice to know so Dan doesn't have to worry about it.

 

[masterofthebass]

It's not a big deal for me to do. I'll just have a notebook to keep track of who donated what.

 

[alexc]

I'll pay at the Nationals.

 

[pjk]

Okay, Dan will be taking donations at Nationals and keeping track of them.

On a side note, 8 people have donated $20. Those 8 people have quite a good chance to win thus far

 

[Dene]

I'll be getting my money in as soon as I've sorted out some stuff for me overseas exchange (hopefully next week sometime I'll be done).

 

[PatrickJameson]

Great idea. I donated $4. Maybe with some luck, i can win .

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Yesssssssss! I'm so In!! Only 2 or 3 bucks, though.

EDIT Donated 3 bucks

 

[Jilvin]

I should send in 5 bucks provided my parents let me

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

the donated total went down?

 

[cpt.Justice]

At the moment, it looks like speedsolving is gonna lose money on this contest :/

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

Theres still a couple of weeks, and I think a few people will pay at US the nationals, they might break even, haha.

 

[pjk]

The total went down because some people decided to either pay at Nationals or send money through mail (since they didn't want to verify their account or because they could only pay with a CC, and neither are accepted).

As far as losing money, to be honest, I am not worried. If I end up losing money, that isn't a big deal. If I end up gaining money, that would be very helpful in paying expenses, as I have invested several hundred dollars into the site. If there is enough of a gain, I will purchase more puzzles, and will give some away in a contest, instead of a raffle. I paid a little over $90 for the cube (shipping is quite expensive, luckily I split the cost along with my other cubes from the order), and to ship the cube to the winner will cost about $10. So total, it will cost around $100 for the contest.

The idea of this contest is to make someone happy with winning a 7x7, promote the 7x7 and other V-cubes, and promote speedsolving.com. I hope I can achieve all of these. There is still a lot of time left in the raffle. Only 11 people have donated so far, out of 1700+ members.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

100 dollars is pricey for a cube. A 5 dollar donation is not, lol. Even if there were 50 dollars in the drawing and I was 49 of them, I'd lose. I have the worst luck in the world :]

At the end of this you might only be down half of your money, or less.

 

[Hunner]

You have fulfilled two of the three goals (promoting v-cubes/7x7x7, and promoting speedsolving.com). Now if the third can just be fulfilled then we'll be all good

 

[Markus Pirzer]

I've donated 1 Dollar. Although I have already a V-Cube 7, it's a good chance to get another one for only 0.65 Euro.

I have extended this giveaway until Saturday, July 26th at midnight. Check the announcement forum for more information.
