Fran | 12107 comments Welcome to the Raffle Thread!

Pay-It-Forward RRRC Style - a place where we can raffle books that we don't need or have duplicates or just want to share with other members.

RULES:

1. Only participate if you are willing to share a book.
2. The one who is mailing the book will shoulder the postage.
3. Please specify in advance if you are willing to mail within a certain region (North America, Europe, etc.) or worldwide.
4. Books shared should be in good condition: no torn/missing pages, etc.
5. If you have other rules, be sure to post it before starting the raffle.
6. The person doing the raffle has the final say in any dispute.
7. The time frame for the raffle should be between 4-7 days.
8. If you win a book, you must claim your prize and post the new raffle within 3 days. If you don't, a new winner will be chosen.
9. Please post the book cover links of your raffle books, it's much easier for participants to see the book and they can easily click on the cover to find out more about the title.

Be aware that this is done in the spirit of giving. Again, if you win, please do not break the chain. Remember, when you sign up, it is with the agreement that in case you win, you will do the next raffle.

Please make sure to state where you are willing to mail to when posting your raffle. Usually U.S/U.S and Canada/U.S. and International are the common choices.

If you are a winner, please claim your prize and post your list within 3 days of the announcement.

Fran | 12107 comments Hi Becca,

In the spirit of keeping this thread active and exciting for everyone, you need to post your complete list of books to give away today. It has been 5 days, the previous time limit rule, since the announcement has been made that you were the winner.

Please list your books with the book cover links, your shipping preference and your time frame for your raffle (4-7 days).


Thanks so much :)

Hi Jane!

Just a suggestion....if you open your raffle up to choosing 1 book, or any number up to the 4 you requested, you may get more takers. Not everyone wants that many paperbacks at one time. Winning a smaller amount may be more appealing.

The raffle thread usually runs with one book as the prize. You may want to try adding the lesser book option, it may help :)


message 27: by Jane (new)

Jane Doe | 125 comments Thanks Fran. Will do.


message 28: by Jane (new)

Jane Doe | 125 comments Hello folks,
It has been brought to my attention that some people might not want 4 books at once. So please feel free to pick anywhere from 1 to 4 books. Whatever works is fine by me.


message 29: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments Please put me down for Wired. Thanks!


message 30: by Jane (new)

Jane Doe | 125 comments Will do:-)


message 31: by Jane (new)

Jane Doe | 125 comments Happy 4th!

Okay, I hope this is ok to do. If not sorry and I will do it differently.
Since it's the 4th there are two winners YAY

As soon as I get your information I will send the books out.

Since Alicia was the first to respond you will be the next to put your list up.

Congratulations to Alicia and Ty!!!!

One last thing Please be safe out there today!!!

Alicia (AtlantiaReads) (orangepeacock313) | 130 comments Thanks so much Jane, so who is putting up the next list? Me or Ty?


message 33: by Fran, Moderator (new)
