Tool Give-Away: our first

[TFP Admin]

We hope to begin a new tradition here at TheFloorPro.com, Give-Aways. Our very first is a Senco DS202-14V 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Screwdriver, shown at left. Although offering give-aways was long on the to-do list, this one came about rather abruptly when it came to our attention that our previously planned raffle was in violation of laws in the state I reside in, as well as the states the host company and server are located in. But we bounced back with this idea.

The winner of this fine tool is Floorguy, an early member and supporter of the site. Congratulations, Floorguy. We hope that you will find frequent and productive work with this tool. Here's more information about the Senco DS202-14V 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Screwdriver:

This will not be the only give-away. We will have more*. A give-away is a good way to attract new members and encourage participation in our forums. We hope to gain sponsors that will donate tools and other merchandise in exchange for the promotional value and offer our wonderful members a fun way to get great tools and other products for their participation.

*Only active, registered members of TheFloorPro.com are eligible to win our give-aways. An active member is defined as one who has a minimum of 5 posts. TheFloorPro.com staff (Administrators, Moderators, Forum Guides and Advisors) are not eligible to enter open contests or win public give-aways.

You weren't informed because we didn't think you could afford the $179 contest entry fee.
............ oh boy.... am I gonna get it for that one! I don't care.

[DJ]

how many people entered? 179 fee that sounds like free money nice little scam ...dj

[DJ]

so Floorguy did not win! he bought it! that is funny!!! still a good little scam ...dj

[TFP Admin]

Sorry, DJ, had to edit your post to correct the spelling of Floorguy.

When we found out the raffle was illegal, we had to change the plan. We still had a tool to get rid of, so we made it a give-away instead. This also made the eligibility list grow quite a bit, since we couldn't make only those who donated eligible. We will have more give-aways though, so you may win yet.

[DJ]

i don't get it, if you gotta pay why is it a giveaway? does the so called winner(the guy that paid) pay for shipping too? ...dj

[TFP Admin]

No, DJ, you don't have to pay. Lo Down was just joking. Floorguy doesn't have to pay shipping either. When we were going to have a raffle instead of a give-away, the raffle was $5.00 a chance. Floorman67 pointed out it was illegal and we had to cancel it. I sent emails and PMs to the eligible donors asking them if they wanted their money back and, so far, all have said no. Still haven't heard from a couple though. I'm also sending a TheFloorPro.com cap to anyone who donated, regardless of their eligibility for the raffle (staff members are not eligible to win any open contests or give-aways here, but several donated to support the site and my trip to Surfaces).

Sorry for the confusion. Good thing Lo Down isn't a professional comedian. He'd be a broke comedian.

........... instead I chose to be a broke flooringinstaller.
Sorry for the misunderstanding DJ..... I thought I was being funny....................... He is right about my comedianical skills.
And don't think ya can stop me from tryin' Mr. Admin............. hell...... I can't stop myself.... it just comes out raw and naked as the day I was born.
I gotta be meee... I gotta be meee........

[skhardwoods]

[Peter Kodner]

Lo, you may be a broke installer, but I will still suggest you don't quit your day job...
