Gilbert Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Wow, I got banned from the Audiokarma forum, because I posted a link the raffle. Un-freakin-believable! Seems they wanted $2.00 for me to post an object for sale there. They can shuve it; I requested that my profile and associated personal information be permenantly deleted. Incredible.

GRB Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Does not surprise me one bit. They are a little touchy-feely over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z4! Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 So they wanted a whopping $2 for you to post a link to your ad trying to sell >$3500 in raffle tickets? Unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Is it just me or was the raffle thread yanked? Yup. It's locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierceb Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well, I don't think it is looking good for the raffle. I didn't have a good feeling about it from the start, but was (am still) hoping that Gilbert could pull it off. Although it's a great idea, and would be lots of fun, it just riddled with potential problems (least of which is the raffle being held on Klipsch webspace without their blessing). I'm still crossing my fingers. -PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 So they wanted a whopping $2 for you to post a link to your ad trying to sell >$3500 in raffle tickets? Unbelievable! Yes, I agree completely. Unbelievable, and insane. Especially when this forum offers the same thing for free, and most importantly becuase I have no idea where that money is going. You should hang out there more, and do some undercover work. Ciao' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Gilbert, Is the raffle off the table now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Gilbert refunded my paypal payment, so I think it's off. What a shame, it's a really cool idea. Anyone that's skittish about this kind of thing shouldn't have participated to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest " " Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Gilbert, Is the raffle off the table now? what happened? I'm sitting here ready to pay for my tickets, thread is gone and you folks say the raffle is off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yep... it appears I just got a refund. I have no idea wth happened but it looks like it got pulled.Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Probably would have worked out fine had people not whined and complained publicly. If they wanted to bail out, they could have PM'd Gilbert privately. What a shame. That was our one try and we blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I just got home and in my inbox was the email from paypal. In it, is a note from Gilbert which says: Message From Seller:Sorry, but the raffle was terminated by Klipsch for legal reasons.Please visit the forum.Respectfully, Gilbert Edit: see Gilbert's explanation over in the Garage Sale section.

customsteve01 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thats really too bad it ended the way it did. Its still hard to believe how some people can ruin a good thing so fast. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
