But it is a good barrier to entry…

The only problem I see with having that higher price.
Currently everyone is paying a $5 entry fee.
If we have about 50 people participate again that’s 250 bucks
Enough to replace a few gifts. (At the current $50)
But at $100 you’d only be able to replace two people’s gifts

Meh. I can’t base my gift on “mine was 100$ but his was only 40$” I truely want to participate in Hope’s I’ll give something cool to someone else but at the same time, 40usd + shipping is a shit ton to me…and yet I’m probably gonna go closer to 100 bucks anyways

@Grozniy what happens to unused funds? Do we get to choose a foundation to receive it? IE: cancer research foundation

Last year there was no left over and we ended up dipping into our own pocket to get the last few gifts out if I remember right

The guy I was supposed to send too dropped out last minute… I sent stuff to @Grozniy instead.

Bullshit? Idk.
Happens every year. People ghost. Or make lots of excuses.
My Santa didn’t come through last year really and @Grozniy took care of it.
I sent out about 5 gifts last year.
Luckily we had some funds leftover from something else to cover a gift or two as well.

Exactly. Because you care.
It is just painful to watch some guys get wadded up toilet paper and half a stick of used gum…
I am ok with whatever, but I do this shit all the time.
I dunno. Just my thoughts at least.

I’m in for whatever. I have some stuff laying around, and tend to never be broke, or flaky.
I don’t see why 100 bucks wouldn’t be viable.

Hmm I could do 100 bucks but it really depends how much the shipping cost would add.
Worldwide is expensive

This is very true. But can also purchase from local vendors and get it sent to your santee.

True but how would one add personal touch to the package? Letter, etc.

@Grozniy did an awesome job with this by attempting to pair people close to each other
Doesn’t always happen but he does the best he can

I filled out the form with multiple Items that need to go, but still plan on purchasing something. So if anyone needs the things listed, I will glady send out multiple packages.

I’m low on spare parts! I’ll have to buy whatever I need for this!

Isn’t the point of this to pull a random santee?
