KenW is going to offer the first one, starting Sunday with a drawing on Friday. I think we will ask for volunteers and set up a rotation.
I started doing this in a fit of craziness, having seen similar elsewhere, I called it Papaw's Crazy Giveaway.
The way it worked in the past was that a member would offer something, and those wishing to be considered as winner would post in the giveaway thread and the offerer would draw a name and send the item to the winner postage paid. Back then the winner then was to offer the next prize, but it sometimes didn't work out and someone else had to step up.
Prizes were all over the map, usually an old tool that was a duplicate, odd, or otherwise interesting.
This is a way to keep interest in the forum and to draw new members.

Ditto. How does a giveaway work?
