i also have an update to my "pass" idea. when people pass on an item they don't want or need they will be put on the pass list. when the next person passes on an item, i will go down the pass list in order and those people will have the option to accept the prize that was passed on. this accomplishes a few things. most people who win probably won't pass on an item they don't want or need. they will just take it and sell it. the pass list gives people an incentive to pass because they are no longer in the position of passing on the prize and getting nothing in return. they now have the opportunity to choose what prize they want to accept. this also keeps people interested and trying to win prizes they may not want cause they can get something else that appeals to them.

Well, I understand that you dont cant say when you will ship the xbox.But maybe you can give a eta about it,Maybe a month or two. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) EDIT: If you are buying XBOX for winner, Why are you doing that? Maybe you can send only cost on BTC of this instead off XBOX, or, Is there any other reason for it? if i do this, i will probably set things up to give away the xbox for christmas. i will probably do BTC and cold hard cash at some point. but for now my focus is products because people have an appetite for consumer products. i think it will generate the most interest. it also gives me an opportunity to give things to people they normally would not be able to afford. i can add a little more detail to this. like i said, since we aren't that far away from christmas, i would like my very first give away to be during christmas. it's a big holiday that most people celebrate and giving is a big part of it so i think this holiday fits my business model well. i also think it will add a certain special something to the tone and flavor of the business. however, i will start to take action and lay the foundation for this business long before christmas. as of right now, this is the plan..... • for the rest of this month and august i am going to continue talking to people, figure out all the details, and structure the game plan. • in septemeber i am going to handle the business side of things such as expenses, taxes, legalities, and setting up the business. • in october i will setup my social media presence, introduce myself, and declare the intentions of the business. • in november my focus will be to spread the word around social media and interact with followers. • in december i will announce what is being given away and the xbox will be shipped in time for christmas. • after the first give away, i will probably do 1 prize a month until i have accumulated enough followers. once my revenue stream can support it, i will offer prizes every 2 weeks. It sounds much better, Christmas is a perfect time, Thanks for give us more details, It is a little more clear now.

Well at least you've given people a rough estimate, however 5 and a half months is a lot of time. I'm going to assume that a lot of people are very impatient here. You should have made the thread differently. I think that a good portion assumed that this is a giveaway that is happening right here and right now because of the title. Some didn't even read your first post here.
i would like to comment further on this. i understand what you are saying. to be honest, i don't know what the fuck i'm doing and i will probably stick my foot in my mouth several times. i'm just a man with an idea and i'm running with it. things will probably change several times over the coarse of this little adventure. but i would also like to mention that people came to this thread expecting a single xbox to be given away. at this point it appears that much more is being given away. today i laid out exactly what i want to give away every month for the first year so i can see how much this is going to cost me. the total retail value of the items i plan to give away over my first year is well over $6000. i plan to give away really good shit. you guys may have to wait a bit for that xbox. but good things come to those who wait and in the end i am offering alot more than just an xbox.

Subscribed now from this thread and will see how this goes.
this is part of my test. i want to see how many views i get. how many people respond. how many people show interest. how many people subscribe. this thread is less than 24 hours old and i am near 650 views. i am curious to see where this goes and how well the interest transfers over to social media. Have you gave away the xbox yet? if not i would be happy to get it. dont know if i am in queue lol
i have not given away anything yet. right now this is just an idea in my head and i am trying to get it out and make it reality. If it is just an idea, why dont you make that idea real and send the xbox to someone who you like to

This is big. Please take your time and think it well. I don't see how can you get enough "visitors" to cover your costs. All I can do "this early" is to wish you good luck with your business.

trust me, i am thinking about it long and hard. but no matter what i say or do i believe it all comes down to a hope, a dream, a plan, and a roll of the dice. no matter what business i get involved in there will always be costs involved and most business's are unprofitable for the first few years. so financially speaking in some ways it's just like any other business. the big question is can i hang on long enough to make a profit. you guys are the first public group i have mentioned this to. i really need to start gathering some data. but i don't exactly want the structure of my data collection to be in this thread. not sure how i'm going to do it yet but i will start conducting micro experiments and asking basic questions soon to see what what kind of response i get.

i do plan to ship anywhere in the world.
But who will pay the shipping fee? I would love to win a console, but I don't want to pay a fee, especially the fee is expensive.

He said that he might even consider paying the fee. However, I do not agree with this as shipping could be even over $150-200 depending on who won and where they live. What else might be of some concern for people outside of the US is importing costs. Maybe if he labels it as a gift, but I'm not sure if they would dismiss it even then. I've had some differentiating situations with them, so I'm not really sure what to make of this.

i have stated several times, i will pay for shipping. i doubt very much this will change cause it goes against my business model of "Something for Nothing." i want my prizes to be completely free. the only thing that might complicate this is really high international shipping costs. if it's like an additional $20-50 i will cover it. if it's like $100-200, that might be an issue. it all depends on my revenue and if i can write it off as a business expense. if my revenue stream can support it i will cover it. if not i simply will not ship to certain countries until the business is making enough to absorb the expense. however this is the very last option cause i want to keep this available to everybody.
also, i have been having very long conversations with family and some really good points have come up. this is going to be alot more complicated than i originally thought. i am still determined to see this through. but it's become clear that i can't accomplish something like this myself. regardless of how awesome my idea or prize is, it's the followers who are going to make this idea succeed. and i am officially asking you guys to help make this happen. talking with others has made me realize that other people will have drastically different thoughts and feelings about something even if it is as awesome as something for nothing. i need to hear what you guys are thinking. even if it's critical. i need to know what you guys want this to be. how the winner will be decided. i need to know what will make you excited about this. i want to hear if you think i am completely full of shit or won't follow through. i want to know if you are willing to follow me on social media. if you will share with friends. basically, i need your input to structure this in a way that makes you want to be a part of it.
it's also become clear that i can't wait to start building my social media presence. i need to start working on that now. tomorrow i am going to start creating the accounts. they will be lacking any kind of content, but the accounts will exist and i can start farming interest. if you guys want to support this, start following and subscribing. i will start working on content as soon as i am able to.
