This is maddening

Stay Safe :v:

A small handful of people will spend their entire day sucking up most of the prizes, regardless of if they will even use them. At the same time, I do not see how it can be ran any different to avoid it.

Missing the point, new to the game. Agree some may take advantage, but keep the spirit of the holidays. Pass it on it will comeback to you.

They all [most] come running for gifts… but you won’t find them on here any other time contributing and helping newbies, too busy :slight_smile:

PS: better luck next time and Merry Christmas!

All the prizes should be person number 100 or something so people don’t just camp waiting for a post to pop up. Just a idea.

There are a lot of ways to fix it. Treating it like a fantasy draft or points system would eliminate a significant amount of those getting multiple gifts. You chose three kickers in the early rounds, now you are without a QB. Or everything is bid on. With the number of prizes that they give out, it would be hard to administer. A one-day event would last a week.

Did I win yet?
Are they gone now… . …

I know it feels like there are only a few winners, but except for the silver coins (which I ship separately) we combine the prizes so that they all go in one box (to save shipping costs) and we already have more than 400 different shipments being packed… and the big shipping day just started.

I don’t think so. I believe @lkage dropped some hints earlier in the week that there was going to be. Just to liven things up a bit, lol. I thought it was funny and ran with it.

Hey, at least you got a chance to participate in the craziness. I missed out this year but it was my choice. Booked myself for 2 inspections that day, then took my girls to the Trail of Lights & 37th street. (Austin) We had a blast!

Faster internet. That’s all.
You have to learn how to speed up your internet connection. There are ways to do it freely.
It would be farer to select winners randomly. Lets say 3rd, 5th or 9th person to reply wins a …

I was working as well. Just participating is fun.
Love to see winners and there reaction. I remember my first InterNACHI Christmas party.
Now, it makes me feel happy to see others win. I have a successful home inspection business. Love to see other get a chance to free themselves from bondage. It’s God’s blessing and gift to work for yourself.
Nick’s the best. Everyone helps and shares. It’s a wonderful successful organization because Nick shares.

Your a good father. Keep up the great work.
Wishing you and your family health and happiness.
