Geocaching Contest

Rules:
The first person to respond to the contest, who has 50 quality posts, who has not won "Geocaching" within the last 15 times, will receive a package containing fabulous prizes. 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 the 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.

New rule added by GO: When you run your contest please post what the contents of the package are Before you pick your fabulous prize.


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

Hi meckl9....you are the winner! I'll get the package out in the next day or two. I have your address (thanks for sending that already). Once you receive the box, pick out one of the prizes (separate envelopes numbered 1 through 10) and replace the prizes you picked out with something of equal value. Then just update the envelope number with the new prizes you are putting in, update the list of past winners (add your name to the bottom, remove top name), and post a new contest. Hope this helps! Congrats on the win!

Your item was delivered at 12:47 PM on June 3, 2009 in xxxxxxxx, xx xxxxx.

Did anyone send him/her an email? That would really stink if they took this and ran.

I hope not. I put an explanation earlier in this thread on what to do after receiving the prizes. I hope he didn't misunderstand and think he won everything in the box.

Should we get police involved? That might nudge him into at least sending it all back... If he runs with it, it is stealing. We're almost two months out,. so something needs to be done.

I replenished this just a few rounds ago and there was a lot of nice stuff I put in there.
