Just giving this Topic it's daily bump until the last day Monday. Big Grin

We are at $4440 at the time I'm writing this and this is really great and not very far from $4500

I would guess that the total at the end might be somewhere around $4600 to $4750 if we get a final " spurt " of last minute contributions. The odd of reaching $5000 or more seems remote but I'm just making a " game " of trying to guess what the final amount will be. Wink Laughing Out Loud

EDITED: Just got to $4450 as I was writing this post. Big Grin Cool

I just donated $20 to get us over the top (thanks to my wife's Paypal account, I might add)! Big Grin

I'm trying to add another $40, also via my wife's paypal account, but I'm not sure it'll get there in time for this competition (it wasn't intended to be this late, but we've both been sick, and she needs to use her work computer to do the transaction for some weird reason). If I'm too late for this one, ah well, I was going to donate anyway! I'll just have to wait for the next competition...

Thanks to all the myArmoury team for a great website!

Hi Marc!

Donations are instantaneous unless you send an "e-check" -- which needs 4 business days to clear. Electronic checks are just like regular checks and have to wait for the funds to be released by the issuing bank before they are transferred to the recipient. However, submitting a payment via a credit card or a bank transfer (via PayPal) results in an instant transfer of funds.

The next contest that will be geared towards contributors will be very soon! The prizes are already in-hand and will blow people's minds. Happy

Ahhh!!! It's almost over!

This contest closes at midnight PST this evening. I'm excited to run the program that picks the winners! I kind of don't want to wait because I'm super excited to get this thing done! Hell, I think it's more exciting for me than you guys.

It's kind of funny how many times I go to vendor sites shopping for prizes for future contests and try to resist. These things are fun.

One last rounding over the $4600 mark just for the fun of it: Anyone else want to be the last to contribute before the end of the contest tonight. Wink Razz Cool

Yes, that is pure " EVIL " on my part to get a few extra contributions or if not be the last contributor on the list ! Unless someone wants to " BUMP ME OFF " being the last. Wink Big Grin Cool

Just a note to say that any contributors with pending e-checks will be added to the contest drawing as eligible participants. I'm treating these as if the funds went through. If somebody with a pending check wins, I'll wait to send the prize out when the thing clears. If in the extremely unlikely event that the funds don't clear, I'll simply draw a new winner. That seems most fair to everyone!

Hurry up midnight!!

Oh, I'm assuming that the cutoff hour is Midnight your time zone ? So, some of us way out East of you have a few extra hours to contribute ?

Ok, we seem to have sorted out all our Paypal issues, so that's another $40 to the total. Am I the last donor? Does that mean you can all now refer to me as "Your Tardiness"? Laughing Out Loud

Hey everybody! The entry period for the contest is over. I'll let the system pick the winners shortly and then I'll contact them privately. Once I hear back from them all and work out the details I'll announce the winners!

Thanks to everybody for participating.

Cheers to you all.
