Something for Nothing ???

sorry guys, ad blocking software really makes me doubt this business model.

This is definitely very unusual if you ask me. One can't usually find people that will give things out for free, especially if it's worth a few hundred dollars.
I definitely would like to have such a console one day. However, I'm not sure if I would reveal personal information that nobody knows for the chance of receiving the console. There's really no guarantee that you will send it, is there?

So what's the deal with this?

unusual indeed. i'm sure many will doubt me. but if you look at my trust you can see i am reputable. it's hard to say much at this point. but i can say this is not a joke. somebody will get an xbox one. it will not cost you anything. i will even pay the shipping. this is part of an idea i had and i want to test the response i get to such an offer.

Sorry, 2 trust ratings is not something that I would call reputable (even though I trust Vod). I would definitely love to have one, but a third party would have to send it to me. There's no way that I would transact directly.
I'm going to assume that your from the US. People there usually have money for these things, and I know a lot of members on this very forum who can't afford such a console.

I'm also sure that this is going to draw a lot of interest, and a lot of people are going to want it.

who wants a free xbox one?

Is this a real question? Who wouldn't?
I do want a free xbox one, that's for sure. My kids would love it (and frankly, me too).

But... wouldn't this better placed into games and rounds?

i can say that it will come directly from newegg. if you do not to trust me, that's fine. you do not have to participate.

Directly from Newegg? Are you going to buy it for someone and let them ship it out or?
I never stated that you can't be trusted, but I'm going to doubt this a bit (since the value of the console is over $300). Time to do some research.

Well obviously it isn't the usual giveaway, but rather some idea/experiment that the user is trying out.

this is a real question. the question is part of the experiment.

there is no gambling involved. off topic is also more active.

yes, directly from newegg. i have decided to use newegg because they only charge tax in 4 states and amazon charges tax in 25 states. i will be buying it myself with my own credit card and writing it off as a tax deduction.

This mindset is wrong, very wrong. I'm pretty sure that he will encounter people who won't want it, even if he provided more details (which he stated he won't). Gifting should not be limited to friends, nor family.
You just supported my first point. There are going to be people who don't want a console, people who have one, people who are PS4 fans and such.

You're shipping internationally or limited to the US?

Very mysterious indeed! You know what, I'm gonna go ahead and say that I would freaking love to receive a free Xbox One Grin

I'm still on last gen, there are plenty of cool titles that I've yet to play but I'll see if I can get a PS4 next year. Anyway that's very generous of you (even if it's only a strategic giveaway Wink

) , I'll keep my fingers crossed

i will provide more details as my business plan develops. by the time i am ready to ship you will know what i am doing.

this will not be a one time thing. i do plan to give away a variety of products.

i will ship internationally.

i'm not sure what else i can say at this point. it's not all figured out yet. as of right now it's just an idea. but i can say that i will be operating as a registered business and i do plan to make a profit.

not really. the only thing i might ask of you is to share on facebook and help me promote the business.
