Thinking about doing a RAOK lottery. Need Mod's help.

[Old Scales]

Hi all.
Due to various promotions, vendors I have ordered from have sent me a couple of appreciation gifts free that I don't need. I now have two pair of very nice 12" curved stainless steel planting scissors still in the package that I don't need.
I think it would be fun to let our newer planted tank afficiandos that are on a budget submit their names to me for a drawing. I want to follow the forum rules on this but need guidance. Do it in Off Topic?? Submit names by PM to me?? Has anybody done this before? I will pay the pittance of shipping to the winners so it would be totally free. Any Mods that can help me please PM me.

I'm in!

 

[Old Scales]

OK Let me get it set up with the mods first. OS.

 

[Supergummy]

Wait are the scissors the only thing being raffled?

 

[Old Scales]

yes. it would be two drawings. One name drawn for each pair of scissors. OS.

 

[Supergummy]

Hmm I have no need for scissors. but maybe if you get this set up we could keep it going and do it regularly with all different items?

 

[Superfish425]

This could be fun I could use a pair of scissors

 

[Brookster123]

These arnt just any scissors, these scissors are designed for pruning submerged plants, I have a pair and they are money!!!

 

[Superfish425]

Oh that's awesome I am new to planted aquariums and I got a lot to learn still

I'd like to be in on this. I current;y have a heck of a time pruning things in my 55 since I made the stand too high

 

[Coyne]

Thats super cool. Im good on scissors as well, so I'll keep my hat out of the ring. It'd be neat to see how this goes though.

 

[himdie]

Haha that would be nice! Ive been using a knife to get the tougher leaves pruned >.>

Wow! That is really nice of you for wanting to do this! You could have sold them but raffling them off is a cool idea and there are going to be a couple of happy people! I can't use them since I can only have rock work in my tank but I'm curious to see who wins!! You're awesome!

 

[azmodan]

It'd be cool if we could do something like where the winner of the RAOK continues the cycle by RAOKing something themselves next. So say I won one of Brian's scissors, maybe I'd then RAOK a bunch of plant trimmings (or whatever). Sounds fun!

 

[anachrotech]

I could use scissors! Yes!

 

[Rodeo one]

I m in! Like the ROAK idea for the winner of this....

 

[Rodeo one]

Need more coffee...RAOK

 

[Old Scales]

Scissors Raffle Fun!

OK, I haven't got a reply from any of our Mods, so I will set up the raffle as unobtrusively as I can. I will post a new thread giving the rules, details and a picture of the scissors this evening around 7pm central time. Will run for 24 hrs with name entries PM'd to me starting 7am 4/24 to 7am 4/25. This is going to be great fun! OS.

 

[Old Scales]

I did too! lol

Mr Fisher I put my 29g and stand on 8" cinder blocks so the tank would be eye level. Now, to reach the plants at the substrate I have to use a small step stool.

A good idea at the time. lol OS.

I know that feeling. I built mine 36" high. I'm a little over 6' tall so I'm for sure in that wet arm club, lol

If this goes well I think I'm going to offer some endlers. It's real cool of you to give back to the community Old Scales
