2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Thats not a bad idea RB.

Last night I was stuck on trying to figure out a way to get people their buttons now with a paypal account but not have them wonder and worry about fees etc added during the process.

It costs 2.9 percent plus 30 cents for every paypal transaction that takes place. Intialy I was going to have the buttons sent to people who ordered them in the mail but then you have to add shipping and handling to that cost as well.

So that 5 dollar button ends up costing 6 somthing.

Your idea makes more sense providing people can wait that long to touch the buttons :smile:. Personaly I'm one of those people who likes to have it in hand.

I can say that the girls will be out selling them around town for the next two months as well. I'm sure if people wanted to just meet them round about town they would go where the crowds were.

I'd be nervous of somebody else sending in my 10k card in the mail..

heck I'm tempted to buy 4 buttons and mail them from 4 different mailboxes...

who does that??

heh

heck I'm tempted to buy 4 buttons and mail them from 4 different mailboxes...

who does that??

me.

I always send a minimum of two registrations from different mailboxes. You can't be too safe! I don't want to find the medallion and then find out that my registration didn't make it in the mail.

I knew I wasn't alone in my thinking....

:wink:

I do it too Kitch....

4 diffrent mailboxes? Heck I drop them off in diffrent zip codes.

never mind then...I should have known better than to suggest something constructive

I didn't think it was a bad idea.

In fact I believe I said so.

the same people who turn in the medallion if they find it

:smile:

Don't people like this turn them in?

oh wait

hmmm. i bet he will this year :smile:

notice that the "NEW" buttons are the losers from last year?

"NEW" buttons

It was rather comical last year... was it clue 5 or 6?... I can't remember... we were all out there running around heading for a spot to dig.

He was out there and was lost. Matter of fact he was following the Como finders and having a hard time keeping up.

Yea I think he learned a little bit last year.

As I understood it the other morning, these are the buttons the "Winter Carnival" really wanted. But the online voting killed their hopes and pushed these aside in 2005.

Enter round two with no voting. Say hi to your 2006 buttons.

There were two more designs too. Next years buttons?

Gosh I hope not.

The queen looks like shes about to turn and draw blood.

And Kate is way too, um, thin.

They are supposed to look like superheros which plays into the more "family friendly" carnival.

Heres the other 2 designs. (2007?)

Don't you have to buy the four pack to get that one? One of those bonus things?

You mean Kate? No, I have singles of her.

Now this is family freindly.

I actually like these better than the superhero ones.

me too

Kate looks like Little Beaver from the Red Ryder series. :chagrin: :eyeroll: :sillygrin:

No, not Kate Leelabell - This one

:pbpt:

quick and real dirty

I wanna wear that one!

Thats the one I want!

I'm disappointed. I figured one of you would have posted a picture of Little Beaver by now. :wink:

Robert Blake played Little Beaver. He looks just like Kate in that series. Down to the feather in his hair and the haircut.

Not that one! :eyeroll:

I thought this was the little beaver button? :chagrin:

quick and real dirty Just the way I like em! :eek:

Good job OTiS

Now tell me that doesn't look like the model for Klondike Kate.

all that THX1138 character does is cause trouble, and look at his low post count.

lets ban him.

You might wanna turn off that red light of yours OT. :confused: :ooh: :cool:

Speaking of, I stumbled across what looks to be Kitch's nightmare.

Wake Up Kitch!

I swear...If somebody makes the THX button and I don't get one...

I'm going to be ticked off!!!!

that is not funny!!!!

I will happily put a PayPal button on my website. You don't have to add shipping and handling to the button. You can make it for any amount you want. Shipping and handling and sales tax is an option. They will take out the fee, though.

If they use those reject buttons for next year.... :angry:

thx is back! nice avatar

I want a thx button too! um, pleeeease
