Forum Fundraiser to assist with server costs. The prize (at this time) is a $50 gift voucher for BWS, Supacheap or Bunnings.
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160615/e4a241a7f5607cb7824184419c0e4a93.jpg)
The winner will be announced at the Picnic at Hanging Rock and is open to swagg'rs nationally.
With Brett&Jillsy's ok and because we love our B&S I have secured a partially used roll of B&S cable from lino6.
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160615/a6449da63c32dde3f1ade87366f5c480.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160615/8283f31be1f9d3e6aed6f672be4077fd.jpg)
The remaining length of cable on the drum is between 12.5m and 14.0m.
Swagg'rs interested in this competition can donate $5 to the forum for guessing max 10 lengths in 1cm guesses and the person that guesses the right number (or is closest to) wins.
What do you need to do to participate?
Check the available list of sizes below and post in the thread which 10 measurements you want. These don't have to be concurrent, could be random.
Once you post up your numbers, you can deposit your $5 using paypal at admin@myswag.org or deposit into
Alloway Adventures Pty Ltd
CUA
BSB 814282
AC 31137735
If you use the paypal or bank options, please put your forum name in the description box so Jillsy knows who the $$'s are from. Or you can give to me at the Picnic at Hanging Rock.
http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=47016.0 (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=47016.0)
Only 10 measurements in 1cm increments per swagg'r at this stage and first in best dressed. If there's spare numbers available after first round picks, I'll open it up to a second round.
I know many of you would be happy to donate more, but you can also participate in the Great Popcorn Challenge also. http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48641.0 (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48641.0)

That's fine but I wondered about the costs of running Myswag and no doubt many of us have donated amounts at some stage but it seemed to me there was a good way of generating a bit of an income stream with the giveaway thread and I'll throw it out there for feedback.
Many of us have surplus camping/vehicle stuff/etc and we're more than happy to pass it on via the forum which raises the issue of who gets it? That's where it seemed to me if I donated something it should go to the highest bidder and then the double charity act goes toward running the forum. Is it feasible to run the giveaway thread like a continual trash and treasure stall and what do others think about it?
Post by: scrapsD40 on June 17, 2016, 05:16:22 PM
"Forum Fundraiser to assist with server costs."Good idea. I would support the idea as long as Brett&Jillsy approve.

Good idea. I would support the idea as long as Brett&Jillsy approve.
What 10 numbers did you want?
Well here's what I mean. When I bought my Jayco I was given the Tekonsha Primus IQ controller and bracket with it and then purchased a new harness kit to install it in my car but then got a bit carried away with Tekonsha's Prodigy RF trailer mounted unit and so the IQ has been cluttering up the shed since. Now I could put it on Gumtree or ebay for a few bucks but I'd rather it go to some worthy Myswagger instead, but how to choose from among all the worthy folk out there?
Well being a market man the solution selects itself and in the absence of a facility on the Giveaway Thread at present I propose to let any interested party put a price on it til 5pm next Sunday (contact me with your offer) and the winner donates their winning bid to Myswag in an honour system. In that sense I think the Giveaway thread would be better served for us all in the broader sense if it facilitated this sort bidding and transfer of donated items.
OK so the kit pictured is at my place for pickup at Glenelg East in Adelaide and weighing 450gms, with packaging and dropping in an Express Post bag it's likely to weigh over the 500gm threshold and cost $14.80 to post anywhere ($13.40 in a Standard bag) So normally if the donor isn't to be out of pocket the bidder would have to account for paying them postage or else the locals have the upper hand with pickup and in many cases that will be the only option with large/heavy items. Well since I've mooted the idea of facilitating a bit of economic rent (yes I've studied the dismal science) going to a worthy communal cause rather than being captured by a lucky individual, I will post this item at my expense to the worthy winning bidder for the first time around and in the spirit of the current call for assistance.

All numbers in this comp now gone. Thanks to all that have participated.
Still plenty of numbers available in the Great Popcorn Challenge fundraiser for anyone looking to participate and donate to the cause. http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48641.0
Lino6 has now reviewed the list and advised me that we have a winner, who will be announced this Sunday at the Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Well being a market man the solution selects itself and in the absence of a facility on the Giveaway Thread at present I propose to let any interested party put a price on it til 5pm next Sunday (contact me with your offer) and the winner donates their winning bid to Myswag in an honour system. In that sense I think the Giveaway thread would be better served for us all in the broader sense if it facilitated this sort bidding and transfer of donated items.
OK so the kit pictured is at my place for pickup at Glenelg East in Adelaide and weighing 450gms, with packaging and dropping in an Express Post bag it's likely to weigh over the 500gm threshold and cost $14.80 to post anywhere ($13.40 in a Standard bag) So normally if the donor isn't to be out of pocket the bidder would have to account for paying them postage or else the locals have the upper hand with pickup and in many cases that will be the only option with large/heavy items. Well since I've mooted the idea of facilitating a bit of economic rent (yes I've studied the dismal science) going to a worthy communal cause rather than being captured by a lucky individual, I will post this item at my expense to the worthy winning bidder for the first time around and in the spirit of the current call for assistance.
Nice offer prodigyrf, and congrats for getting into the swing of things.

Done, they're yours.
All numbers in this comp now gone. Thanks to all that have participated.
Still plenty of numbers available in the Great Popcorn Challenge fundraiser for anyone looking to participate and donate to the cause. http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48641.0 (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48641.0)
Lino6 has now reviewed the list and advised me that we have a winner, who will be announced this Sunday at the Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Watch this space.

That's clearly above and beyond the call of duty in relation to the item and my suggestion the Giveaway thread be renamed the Donation thread with a few bucks being bid or tipped in by the beneficiaries of donated goods.
I do recall a Swagger kindly offering to mail an Aldi mobile sim for the missus phone when we were caught up the NW with the Kogan Mobile/ISPOne fallout. He mailed it to meet us at a Geraldton cara park on our way and didn't want reimbursing for his trouble so I tipped in another tenner for Myswag at the time. As I said it's not about the real value of the goods, but a bit of an income stream to keep up with hardware and bills for the benefit of all forum members.
In any case it looks like the rest of you have responded well to B&S challenge.
