This is what I have for prizes so far:

Randy Rust $10
Randy Rust's guest $10
OT $10
LuckyStrike $10
MrMNMikey $20 & Lager set (pledged)

Plus $25 if the finder is someone who chipped into the pot which makes for a potential prize of $85 plus the lager set so far. So am I missing anything or anyone so far?

Me2 was going to donate what was left from the contributions to pay for the finders to see the movies. I forget how much she said was left.

I'll chip in $10.

Who hasn't put up?

We've never had an issue of people not paying what they said they would pay. At least not that I know of.

I'll have to think of something cool/creative like that to chip in.

Ok, cash is a little tight for me right now but should be able to come up with some by the first clue. 

I would like to donate as prizes

1 set of 4 Imation CD-Rs - with the 2005 button images printed on them

and a

1983 Wrapped up in Winter Winter Carnival poster - Norman Rockwell

I figure I will collect the money by the start of the hunt, either at Fern's, via Paypal, or some other method. For now I just want to get an idea of what to expect so I can have a guess at what the prize will be. Looks like $165 in cash now, (not including the movie ticket money) plus maybe $145 in prizes (not sure how much the lager set is valued at but it looks pretty cool). Assuming I've not heard from everyone yet, I'm going to guess we're looking at a prize worth maybe $400 right now.

Hopefully that will make it worth what I'll be putting you through. Mwah ha ha ha. This hunt won't be easy, but I feel confident it's doable by most people. I will assure you that the person who figures out the clues first/best will be the one to find it.

I chipped in $20 bucks and a bag of m&m's

THX had a $20 left over from the finders (so I guess I dont know if he wants the whole $20 donated-or he is adding $10 to = $30 or just donating $10 total and THX would get $10 back)

and I have in my possession the Med Hunter book-will bring to Ferns

and as far as any issues of not paying up? we have always done it this way with for the most part no problems- once in a great while someone has had to wait to get some of the money - I know of 2 incidences and I think both paid up eventually-which was nice.

the only thing I know of right now, from past mock hunts, that has not been recieved is the quilt I owe Mucky. I have the material together but havnt had the time and drive. sorry Mucky-I am getting on it.

WHAT! No beer for me?

I'm in for $10. What email address should I use in PayPal? I won't be at Ferns. I'll see if I can think of another thing to donate.

We should really consider making a real medallion for these hunts.

Don't think I'm in this at all :( I really wanted to do this hunt but with us moving I don't think I'll have the time, the way things look right now if they accept our offer we will be moving during the hunt:(

If anyone decides they don't want the beer due to personal choice, I'll sub it out with a six pack each of VP Cream Soda & Root Beer.

KITCH

vinepark makes cream soda....hmmmm

I might not want the beer...that is sweet!!!!

IAN--- that is awesome....I sooo want that...

this sucks as I'm only going to be around the first week....oh well...I'm still think I gotta shot.

When TMK found Marley's treasure at BC a few years ago.

As I recall, he paid him at last year's PDG.

I'm pretty sure he did.

What email address should I use in PayPal?

It would be my AllisonWondrland (no e) at yahoo.com email.

We should really consider making a real medallion for these hunts.

So Scribe can find it and keep it! hehe

this sucks as I'm only going to be around the first week....oh well...I'm still think I gotta shot.

If you look at past hunts of mine, there's always been at least a theoretical possibility of finding it on the first clue. So you do have a shot at finding it in the first week.

So it looks like I have 17 potentially registered hunters so far and cash and prizes at an estimated $335 including both actual and pledged, plus another $25 if the finder is registered. Looks like it will be a pretty good prize without relying on any one person to donate a big amount. Maybe this model will work for future hunts too.

Im broke as hell, cause my job sucks, and I dont get enough hours, so I cant pledge alotta money....  I'd chip in something like 25 cents, or a buck, or somethin... lol, but I dont want to just come right out and say "Yo! Im cheap, over here!!"

so instead, I'll just pledge, my support, and applause for whoever finds it (if its not me, that is)... oh yeah... and I also offer to help spend whatever cash, the finder doesnt know what to do with. :)
