Pay it forward - free miniatures
I was looking to buy Marro from the SotM set and Onion Knight sent me a package for free. In his honor, I am starting this pay it forward thread. I hope it lives on for many iterations.
Here's how it works. I have some miniatures (pics below) that you can get if you agree that you will send out some miniatures of your own to whomever wants them. 1) The person who receives a package has to post a message here saying he or she got the minis and now is ready to send his or her minis (this is the offer) 2) the first person who accepts the offer by posting here after the offer goes out is the next target. The person offering can get in touch with the person receiving through PM for address info. 3) The person offering posts a message saying the package is on its way. This way if the thread is broken, we will at least know who the Grinch was. My additional suggestions: 1) Please offer something new and interesting. Do not offer your extra set of RotV miniatures or similar minis as everyone has those and this will kill the thread. 2) If you are the next target and a package is on the way, please post a picture of the minis that you will offer when you receive your package. It's nice to see the minis that are going around. The pics can be stock images from the net. Please at least describe them, so the members of the forum can watch the thread if they are interested in your (upcoming) offer. 3) you don't have to offer the same number as you received (I certainly cannot match Onion Knight's generosity), but try to offer a nice selection. This is also not a dumping ground for worthless/ugly minis that don't match up. Basically, be generous. So here's my offer. I will send out all the minis from the picture below. There are two squads here, all in different poses, so they should make for good customs. Last edited by caltino; September 8th, 2008 at 06:40 PM. |

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
Soridir has accepted my offer (Please contact me through PM and tell me your address and I will ship the minis tomorrow if I can).
Watch this space for Soridir's offer and his pics. If anyone else would like to offer minis and get something going, obviously you are welcome to do it. I hope we will see minis posted here every week until we are all playing with the Star Wars style 3d animated holographic miniatures. C.A. |

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
Very cool. I'd say this has a nice built in 'guarantee' that folks will follow thru on paying it forward. I'd say it's a pretty underhanded thing to do if you accepted some minis and then didn't offer any. The ire I imagine will be pretty significant by the community.

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
This is a nifty idea, I'd suggest that people don't have to post actual pictures of the miniatures they are sending and could use stock pictures off a website if they have to as well since not everyone has a nice camera or can easily put photos up.
I'd be in for some D&D Miniatures and Mage Knight stuff at some point. R~ |

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
Absolutely brilliant. I've got plenty of Mage Knight lying around (and a few extra HS you could chop up for spare parts). If I see something I like I may be paying it forward!

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
I modified the original post to make it clear that a) stock images are OK, and b) the receiver should post what they plan to offer, so others can decide if they want to watch the thread.

Re: Pay it forward - free miniatures
One thing we may want to encourage, that if it is your turn to pay it forward and the item(s) you are offering get no bites after X amount of time, then you are obligated to offer something else.
Just thinking that in one person's mind an item is worthy only to have nobody else agree. This way everyone knows going in that you may need a back-up plan. -insert signature here- |
