Nickelsearcher 15,000 Post Contest - Prizes Being Awarded

100% Agree. Well done!

Fantastic contest Nickelsearcher! Congrats to Petespockets and to Zurie and halfamind for the 2nd and 3rd place finishes!

Thank you all for the kind words. It's a lot of work to organize and manage a contest of this magnitude, but also very rewarding to give something back to the great CCF community.

I'll do it again at 20,000 posts assuming we are all still here.

Calling Petespockets55 - We need you to select your prize so the other podium winners can as well.

If @Petes does not show up by noon today I'll copy and paste his prize selection from an email he sent to me.

I'll get to the Participation Prize random drawing after the 3 main event prizes have been awarded.

Job well done NS. Prizes, contest, attitude....

Now bring on the booby prizes.

Good morning.
(First my apologies for the delay. I was out of town Saturday and sent an email to NS indicating my selection, but now I can't find hide nor hair of it anywhere, so maybe I closed the page too quickly.)

Onward! Thank you Nickelsearcher for the fun and challenging contest with the beautiful prizes. The contest helped me clear out some cobwebs but I'm sure they'll be back. With so many gorgeous pieces it wasn't a slam dunk on which to choose.

After looking and pondering to see which prize most appealed to us, we have decided the "Inlaid Curved Lid" box with barrel hinges is best for us. The combination of curves, contrasting color wood, and sleek style captured and held our attention and imagination.
I will send and email with the delivery address.

ps. I'm glad it didn't come down to the final round, because I would have guessed much higher than any of the point earners in the final round. Whew!

Thanks again to you Nickelsearcher and congratulations as well to the other winners.

Well played Zurie.

Send me your mailing address and I'll package and ship your prize.

You won this lovely box - designed with curves in nearly all directions and my new idea of 'dual beam pulls':







I hope it brings you a lifetime of enjoyment.

Calling halfamind - you may now select your choice from the final 2 remaining Main Event prizes.
