First eligible contestant to agree to the rules and respond to this message will win.

Ineligibles who have won Geocaching previously:
#1 Insideout
#2 Lucky_13
#3 arthrene
#4 graceoutcast
#5 justabeginner
#6 mycrob
#7 MINT_MARQ
#8 LeAnn
#9 coinhunter53562
#10 of-grampa

The rules are copied below from karrlot/MintMarq

The first person to respond to this post, who has 50 quality posts, who has not won the "Pick Your Prize Pay It Forward" with in the last 15 times, will receive a package containing more than one fabulous prize (probably 3 or 4). You may choose one fabulous prize, then replace it with something of similar fabulousness, then you must hold the contest again and send the group of fabulous prizes to the next person. At any point, anyone can add an extra fabulous prize so that the next person will have even more fabulous prizes to choose from.

Here is one important rule - you have to trade for an item that is similar in fabulousness. You can't take out a silver half and replace it with a common date Lincoln Cent. You could take out a 1964 silver half and replace it with 2 1964 silver quarters, (but they must be kept together as one fabulous prize). Its really up to you to decide, but if all you have to trade is a sorta-fabulous item, then don't take a super-fabulous item, just take a sorta-fabulous item.

If this keeps going as well as the PIF has, I think it is okay for people to win more than once, because the prizes will be changing all the time. So, you can't enter if you've won with in the last 15 times, but after that, then you can enter again.

In summary:
1) Respond to the post (if you have 50 quality posts)
2) Receive a package of fabulous prizes
3) Pick a fabulous prize to keep for yourself
4) Add a similarly fabulous prize to the package
5) Hold the contest again and send the fabulous prizes to the next person.

Hey Grampa...do you mind if I ask what you ended up choosing as your prize? :) You can PM me if you want. I am just curious more than anything.

I am usually up at around 5-5.30, I could post then to give everyone a chance. Or I could post about 9pm to give the Aussies a chance.

PM sent of-grampa.

This contest just got interesting. Do it late at night forum time. I wanna see these sleep deprived guys try to stay up that late just to get a few ounces of silver or a US Trade dollar
