Stihl MS660 Raffle...Please Help My Brother

[SkippyKtm]

OK, here's what I have so far in the way of tickets and donations. I will list the number of tickets, but not the dollar amount of donations. I'm guessing that some of you would rather that remain private.

parrisw 3 tickets
aussie1 1 ticket + donations
mdavlee 3 tickets
mossy 1 ticket
fish donation
rvalue 2 tickets
gemniii 8 tickets + donation
supercabs78 donation
matt9923 donation
edisto 2 tickets + donation
hexen71 1 ticket + donation
pioneerguy600 donation
sloch24 1 ticket + donation
willis09r 1 ticket
andrethegiant 2 tickets
bowtie 2 tickets
TRI955 1 ticket + donation
songofthewood 1 ticket + donation
mheim1 4 tickets
7oaks 5 tickets
super3 1 ticket
ptarmigan 3 tickets + donation
LemonTwist 2 tickets

I want everyone to know that when I write "donation", some were rounded up to even tens. For example, someone buys 2 tickets for $24, but rounds the money sent to $30. Others were single donations where the person did not ask for tickets. Some of these were quite significant. So thanks to all of you.

If your name is not on the list, check your account and verify that funds were withdrawn. If so, then let me know and I will deal with PayPal. If not then try to resend or PM me and I will send you my mailing address to send a money order. But it seems like for the most part, the system is working pretty well.

Thanks again. You all are the greatest. Let's keep this going! I'm signing off until the morning.

When I try to donate, and I use the Eamil address you recommend, ([email protected]) I get a message that says " Email Address: Please enter a valid address in the format [email protected]." If I try it with the dot between joel and percival omitted; it goes through but says "waiting for acceptance".

Good luck with everything, I'm sure your brother will do well.

NEWS FLASH!!!

We now have a 2nd Prize for the drawing!!!

EdRitchey is donating a brand new John Deere CS62 which has never been run as a 2nd place prize in the raffle! Kudos to Eric!!!

Donations Update

In addition to the incredible offer from Eric, we are up to $605.30 in donations!! You guys are amazing. The response so far has been incredible. I'll post a list of contributors to date in the morning. In case you're wondering about the $0.30 in the total, a Canadian member who probably would rather remain anonymous, made a VERY nice contribution in CAD that had to be converted to USD. KEEP IT COMING, GUYS!

Question: Some of you have had trouble PayPaling to my e-mail address. Did that get sorted out?

Thats a good start.
I need you to leave this open for a week so my Paypal account can get cought up waiting on some payments to clear , thanks.

I did find out in the past that paypal will not let you cut and paste an email address in the window, you must type it in. Don't know if that's what is happening but I invented words that day.

Me too. I just cancelled the one that was "waiting". I just resent, with the dot in the address, and it went through.

thanks Brian, I just did the same thing, and it looks like it worked. Can you imagine how bad it would have sucked if you didn't get to participate AND the money went to someone else, or worse yet, to the Ebay/PayPal coffers?!?!?

Forgot to include message.

I just sent a paypal for 1 ticket, but forgot to include message. Please keep us up to date on brothers condition. Best wishes.

 

[Haywire Haywood]

I didn't put the dot in the email address, and I got the "acceptance" message. Will cancel and resend.

EDIT: Went through fine this time.

Thanks Barney! I was copying and pasting the email address that was causing the issue. It finally worked! ATT LITEFOOT: I forgot to put a message In the paypal payment, I'll send you a pm with my name. Thanks.

Copy and paste is not the problem. I do it all the time. Make sure it didn't put a space at the end of the email. That often happens.

I get to set here and stare at this computer screen all day while you get to make chips

I canceled my payment and typed it in with the period and it went right through.

Glad to hear you guys got things sorted out! I've had to clean out my PM's about 5 times since this started. That's good news! As I've tried to answer all the PM's, I've had a chance to thank some of you personally for your kindness. Most of you have sent donations w/o a PM. You know who you are. Many thanks to you.

If I've inadvertently cleaned out a PM requesting an address or if you're having any other issues, please let me know.

I'll make a list of the latest donations at the end of the day.

Thanks again. Keep it up, guys. This will be a Godsend for Jock.
