The Raffle has been closed due to a lack of interest, all payments will be refunded immediately and the Zoids will be listed for sale on eBay over the next week.

I guess it's really hard to part with one of many things that got you interested in life... Good luck on your raffle!

Hi!
Um, you say shipping is included......
Is your raffle only open to folks in the US?
Id love to win this but Im in the UK and I would have thought that if I did (God willing) the shipping would be a largish chunk of the total?
That said, I can understand chipping in for the postage if it were mine (all mine mwha ha ha ha)

That said, I can understand chipping in for the postage if it were mine (all mine mwha ha ha ha) Good question, the raffle is open to anyone no matter where you live. I'm really not sure how much international shipping would be so if the winner does live overseas and wouldn't mind chipping in for shipping I would really appreciate it but it's not required. |

Wow, that's umm.... Mindblowing. Hard to even take it in.
What would you do if all your slots were taken up and people still wanted to purchase a ticket. I mean considering you're offering your entire collection, I can't see 150 slots being enough (serious).
Maybe you should stick to a minimum 150 slots instead.
As for the reason your doing this, good luck. Marriage (and the birth of my daughter 3 months ago) are the best things that ever happened to me. I hope everything goes well for you in this little(!!) endevour.

This is what happens when I post stuff like this late at night. I'll ammend the rules if all 150 slots fill up I will add 50 more, and should those fill up I'll keep adding 50 until everyone gets a chance to enter. |

I feel as i want to enter this contest.... but to me, i would feel really greedy trying to get my grubby hands on all your zoids......i dont know what it is but it feels as if im almost stealing the your zoids of you if i was to enter the compitition and win..... I know you will still be apart of the community and all, but to win all the zoids i have seen on your website (some i have even looked at to decide if i would get one for myself or not) it would be weird. AND for this reason i will probably not enter this compitition.
Im not doing this to try and stop you from selling your zoids..... its just an issue i have with having the chance to win all your zoids practicly for free... i would feel as if im ripping you off, usually im not one to give up free zoids... but i dont know.... these are just my thoughts....
I know you must have spent thousands on your collection... but if you fill up all your 150 spaces you will not even make $4000 and i know with all your limit zoids and all the shipping you have paid, you must have paid more closly to the 10 thousands range.... this is why i would feel as if im ripping you off...... if i was to win that is... but yes, thats all from me.

Sounds like i'm lying, but if i enter and i win i'll just give them away to members of this forum, so we can all enjoy a piece of Pheno's collection. It sounds crazy but i dont really need all those zoids, i have no where to put them, i'd just rather keep one, and give the rest away . Although doing that would consume A LOT of my time, but i think i would still do it, and i would enjoy sending them, i dont know why, i just would. I still really love zoids.
Anyways, doesnt feel right for me to have all those zoids with out actually going through the process of finding them, buying them building them, and displaying them.
Good Luck Pheno.

OT:
I guess what's important to Pheno are the memories he's had with his collecting adventures, and now he's got a ton of friends here in the forum. I bet he has no regrets, I wish Pheno good luck. ;D

Pheno , so what about your custom zoids? Are you going to sell? The customs are included in the raffle, including 3 new ones that have never been seen before! I know you must have spent thousands on your collection... but if you fill up all your 150 spaces you will not even make $4000 and i know with all your limit zoids and all the shipping you have paid, you must have paid more closly to the 10 thousands range.... this is why i would feel as if im ripping you off...... if i was to win that is... but yes, thats all from me. You don't have to feel like you're ripping me off, it's not about the money. I'm ready to move on and I wanted to do something fun where anybody could have a chance to get my collection. If I sold them in one big lot on eBay only the people with a lot of money could have a chance, this way anybody can get them. I never considered my collection to be an investment, an investment is something you buy with the intent to resell at a later date for profit. I never planned on profiting from my Zoids collection, just like Kamadoma said I have no regrest. It's like buying a house, you buy it and move in and it serves you well for many years but eventually it's time to move on to a new house. Well that's how I feel about my Zoids. I had a lot of fun collecting them and being a big part of this community over the last 6 years but now it's time to move on. |
