Ultimate Collectors' Forums

Hey everyone,

As most of you know by now, I was sent a replacement Dreamsphere by John because the first one I ordered was apparently lost in the mail. It wasn't; it just arrived over a month later. In the meantime, being the gentleman that he is, John had sent me a replacement at no cost. Well, the vagaries of the postal service being what they are, the two Dreamspheres are now in my possession. I offered to ship one back to John but he told me to keep it or give it away to someone here.

I noted in another thread I would do this, and as the second Dreamsphere arrived today, here goes:

If you are interested in receiving this amazing stand-in for The Hobbit's Arkenstone, please declare your interest in this thread, and in one week's time, I will draw the name of the lucky winner.

The rules are simple: you must not already own a Dreamsphere, and you must be registered on this forum as a Forum Supporter. This is a small way for us to show our appreciation for your monetary support.

When the winner is drawn, I will contact you for details. All that will be asked of you is to cover the cost of shipping from me to you.

That's it, and good luck!

Oh please put my name down! I would love to have it!!!

Count me in too! Again, generous of you and VERY kind of John. Must be a real class act.

I'll throw my name into the hat, as it were. I'm excited that we're doing a giveaway here!!

I would love to be entered please!

Count me in as well Val , very kind to do the give away ! ! Good Luck to all who enter .

Hey folks, the draw will be held this evening, so if there's anyone else out there who is interested, this will be your last chance to enter the draw.

There are six names going in so far: the five listed in this thread, plus Dark Shadow who said he was interested in the other thread.

Good luck to all!

What time specifically are you pulling the name?

Hey Val thanks for doing such a generous giveaway.

I believe that you are the first one that do a giveaway and I hope many more will follow.

Thanks again and also thanks to John who is a very kind man.

I would love to enter so yes please trow my name in the hat.

No problem, Dark.

...and thus a unique UCForums precedent is thereby established.

Good luck to everyone! You all are my homeskillets and would be just as proud for you to win as I!

To heighten the tension (as if it needs to be any more 'heightened') Val should put a "Countdown clock" display in this thread...you know, like you see on ebay.

... any second now...

Good luck, everyone!

Almost there

I'm getting old Deimos but if I win this beauty I will feeling 21 again.

Alright folks, thank you for your patience. The draw is now over and to make it more Middle-earth appropriate, I drew the names out of Gimli's helm. Just seemed to go with an Arkenstone.

The proud winner of a beautiful Dreamsphere, courtesy of John Lowe and UCF is...

Congrats Heir!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big congrats Striders_Heir and thanks again Val.

Congrats Strider's Heir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!! I'm completely floored!!! After feeling so down yesterday, to having a few UCF members commit today to purchasing the extra helms to bring me out of the red (and out of the doghouse with my fiance), to now winning something!!! I feel like I'm on cloud nine! God is good. Thank you so much Val and send my regards to John!

And thank you everyone here for lifting my spirits the last 24 hours.

Congrats Striders Heir , a new jewel for your collection ! ! Enjoy it .

Thank You Val for your kind generosity

Big congrats! I can't wait to see it in your collection!

Congrats SH. You're going to love it and dare I say - your love may too!

Congrats Brent! You've earned it!!!

Congratulations, Striders_Heir!

Congrats to Striders_Heir and thank you for all of the Forum Supporters! And Thanks to Val for donating his extra item!

SH, I'm happy that I was able to contribute in some small way to uplifting your spirits, for I know all too well what it's like to be on the receiving end of a partner's wrath over one's collecting foibles.

The Arkenstone is officially on its way to you.
