Quote from: BlueBMW on 10/07/2011, 11:57 AMI don't think its the cost issue as much as people don't want to deal with customs forms etc.
Really? The customs form is nothing but the shipping name/address, return name/address, a short description of the contents, and your signature. It takes a minute tops and can even be filled in online.

I used to bring my International shipments to the Post Office and they don't do delivery confirmation (such a tragedy) when you do 1st Class...I use online shipping now which includes free delivery confirmation and has easy to fill out customs forms.

BlueBMW · 10/07/2011, 03:09 PM

Id say most of us have no problem. I just know there are a few out. There who might. Not trying to start a war just keep peeps happy

JoshTurboTrollX · 10/07/2011, 03:47 PM

I'm pretty sure I indicated that in my initial PM: that I had no problem with shipping to moon men/women.

as should everyone else in their PM's to NecroPhile to make it clear whether you can or cannot.

Opethian · 10/07/2011, 06:38 PM

oh I hope I get moon delivery!

MotherGunner · 10/07/2011, 06:51 PM

I can show you a moon you'll NEVER forget!! Ha ha ha!

allyourblood · 10/07/2011, 08:15 PM

The hardest part of this is going to be compiling a list of games, one of which I'd hope to receive, and then not buy any of them in the interim!

When we say the value of our wishlist items should be $20-30, doesn't that mean some of them will end up costing the buyer the higher, bloated Ebay price?

OldRover · 10/07/2011, 08:31 PM

I don't mind spending a little more if need be.

roflmao · 10/07/2011, 08:43 PM

Me either.

allyourblood · 10/07/2011, 09:14 PM

Nor do I. I just got confused by the wording. I didn't want to get called out for possibly spending more than the 20-30 dollar limit, or causing someone else to have to spend more than they originally budgeted. Sometimes that sort of thing is frowned upon.

BlueBMW · 10/07/2011, 09:39 PM

I over did it last year

, but whatever

MotherGunner · 10/07/2011, 10:04 PM

We do secret santa events at work and people ALWAYS go past the $25 limit.

allyourblood · 10/07/2011, 10:54 PM

Cool. Thanks, folks! I'm gonna Secret Santa the crap outta one of you!

MotherGunner · 10/07/2011, 10:57 PM

Necro, please give my name to allyourblood! =)

Mathius · 10/08/2011, 12:01 AM

I'll try to do more this year than last. All BlueBMW got from me last year was a package full of tears in the shape of Image Fight.

That game is so hard...so hard.

Duo_R · 10/08/2011, 12:18 AM

Is it past signup period?

Um, that's a slammin' gift. Or do you mean it was a cruel gift because it's so difficult?

You have until November 1 to sign up.

It would only have been crueler if he received Tatsujin.

....the forum member, not the game.

RR1980 · 10/08/2011, 02:18 AM

yeah I think that's why the limit has been upped to $30 this year cause last year almost everyone went all out and over the limit so everyone got some really awesome stuff.

Last year was so Epic...

bartre · 10/08/2011, 02:32 AM

I felt bad last year, I got veigues and some other game for Ope, but I got Neutopia for my gift
(sorry, i don't think i ever did find out who gave it to me, turbostar, maybe?)

Sort of funny, my secret santa was actually LeOpe. He was nice enough (or evil) to send me Raiden and Image Fight II!!! O_O

IFII still haunts me at night as I cannot get passed level 3!!!

bartre · 10/08/2011, 12:20 PM

AHA!
figured it out, it was turbogrfxfan.

Duo_R · 10/09/2011, 02:08 PM

Can we find out who the SS is this year? Never found who was mine, was in Japan but that is all I know. :-)

that is the 'secret' part of Secret Santa. You have to do some investigating to find out who your's was. Either that or paypal NecroPhile $20 US! ;)

hmm let's just say I was the only overseas participant last year

Duo_R · 10/10/2011, 10:49 AM

Nice! I tried figuring it out but had no clue!

PunkCryborg · 10/10/2011, 11:19 PM

I hope my secret santa gets me an LT

I'll settle for a Shuttle pretty please

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/18/2011, 11:12 AM

Bumples! Just two weeks left to sign up and get your wish lists in order.

finerion · 10/24/2011, 10:33 AM

Man, I am so excited. Last year was such an awesome present and I had so much fun shopping for my SS that I can't wait to do it again.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/24/2011, 01:53 PM

Can I sign up if my list is only PC-FX games? lol

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 10/24/2011, 01:53 PMCan I sign up if my list is only PC-FX games?

Of course! Seeing as they aren't as plentiful and easy to find as most Turbobs, though, make sure you have plenty of games listed.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/24/2011, 03:38 PM

ok ill list all the games I dont own.

some dickhead better buy me Zeroigar.

If I get to be that dickhead then all you're getting is 20 copies of Altered Beast!

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/28/2011, 11:42 AM

Bumper cars! Only a few days left, folks.

allyourblood · 10/28/2011, 07:16 PM

Eep! I need to send my list!

rag-time4 · 10/29/2011, 02:23 AM

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/31/2011, 12:04 PM

Opethian · 10/31/2011, 12:35 PM

(not sure if you had my info from last year)

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/31/2011, 12:42 PM

Yes. Your wishlist there won't have condition preference or your mailing address.

finerion · 10/31/2011, 02:00 PM

So exciting. I can't wait to start shopping.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/31/2011, 02:01 PM

I haven't even seen your list and I am already pissed!

finerion · 10/31/2011, 02:37 PM

Just remember, if I get a list of nothing but $100+ items you will probably just get a box of some of my duplicate Sonic games.

allyourblood · 10/31/2011, 03:21 PM

Sent my list today. Tried to leave a wide price range so people don't roar at me for putting only the harder to find titles.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/31/2011, 03:47 PM

I sure hope I didn't put all 100$ games.

But, I expect a copy of Magical Chase.

allyourblood · 10/31/2011, 06:19 PM

Right. One photocopy of Magical Chase for Arkhan. Done.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/31/2011, 06:36 PM

ass!

Duo_R · 10/31/2011, 08:45 PM

My list is reasonable but a bonus Magical Chase would be nice! :-)

chany60126 · 11/01/2011, 12:11 AM
