Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/19

On Saturday, March 19th I'm going to have a little contest here and the prize will be a NIP Arc AA LED flashlight.

I wanted to give everyone a headsup. You CPFers on the other side of the world from me might need to plan ahead. I'll ship the light via Global Priority Mail internationally and by Priority Mail domestically. There will be no cost to the winner.

Here's a photo of an Arc AA:


The one the winner will receive is brand new in the package.

It'll be a pick-a-number type contest. I'll email the winning number to an active CPFer beforehand so that everything is on the up and up.

There will be 50 numbers available to pick, 1 through 50.

A CPFer may only pick one number. Once you've picked and posted your pick that's it, no changing.

Previous winners of my contests are ineligible.

I'll start the contest shortly after 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (11:00 PM Central, 12:00 PM Eastern, etc.)

I'll wait until all 50 numbers are picked and then announce the winner. If someone has picked the winning number but there are unpicked numbers and I'm falling asleep at the computer I'll go ahead and announce the winner.

Good luck! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif

I will be on duty that time....do we pick now or would you want to wait until the start?....If so I will try 36. If not then thanks anyway and this is a great opportunity for others to have a classic...thanks again

I think the idea is to start at the start time, but I intend to pick 37.

Well if it is I jumped the gun a little and have to apologize....Regardless I will commend BCO311 on the gesture of kindness....I always seem to miss out on these things however I have an ARC AA so I will not complain if I must wait. It would be probably nicer for someone who has not got one to be able to have a chance at this.....Anyway I am still in if this entry is valid and if not thanks again and good luck to all else.

Isn't this a school day? You have 1 day to comply...

Re: Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/1

I'm going to try to get involved, not for the free light so much (I don't own, nor have I played with an Arc) but more for the chance to experience some good-will and possibly an opportunity to do likewise myself.

BCO311, your heart's bigger'n Texas my friend!

A valuable an much sought after flashlight. I know far fewer of them were made than the Arc-AAA, but I have no idea as to actual numbers.

A very generous and most respectable thing for you to do. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Am I allowed to consult a psychic? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BC0311,very generous
I am in

Re: Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/1

Wow, Britt.. giving away something as valuable as this? That's incredibly generous of you, I'm in /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/1

Wow, what a cool idea.

Britt... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif You da Man! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/1

Hey fellahs, thanks for your kind thoughts.

There aren't many of these in circulation. A great many CPFers missed out on them back when they were $40.00 (?)brand new from Arc. I have mine, so I thought I ought to pass one on to someone who doesn't have one. Arcs were built to be used and enjoyed.

You can start picking and posting your numbers when the contest starts Saturday, March 19th shortly after 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.

Please don't post numbers till the contest starts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Giving away a new Arc AA flashlight on Sat 3/1

I'm always being surprised at just how close-knit and generous the CPF community is.

A noble gesture good sir! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
