I made a thread in December 2010 asking members to guess how much change I'd amassed in my change jug and someone quipped that it was pointless if I wasn't offering a prize to the winner, which I thought sounded like a cool idea.
This was the old thread: http://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?149999
Well, I'm PROBABLY going to be cashing out my change again later this year and this time I'll offer prizes for whoever guesses the closest. I don't have the water jug anymore, and I don't think I have the smaller plastic containers either, so we'll be guessing without the advantage of comparing what the last haul added up to. This time around my coins are in several containers, the largest one being a huge, plastic Coca-Cola bottle shaped bank (that I bought at the Coke store in Vegas).
As for the giveaways, and the excuse for this being in Classic Gaming forum, I think I'll round up a bunch of gaming odds and ends I have laying around (duplicates, games I don't like or won't play, swag, mags, strategy guides, empty cases, extra manuals, posters, weird stuff I just happened upon, etc.) and just offer the winner their choice of a few items. Nothing special I promise, but maybe somethings the winner or someone they know may want.
If anyone else collects change too, and has gaming junk laying around that's not worth trying to sell, but too valued to simply toss in the trash, maybe you can do the same? It might be a fun little distraction with posting being a little slower around here.
