AtariNerd Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) In my typical lame style, I haven't been physically able to get to the post-office during business hours, so I've had to order stuff on-line. Meaning, that my recipient will receive items untainted by my grubby hands (just by others) , unseen personally by my own eyes. Turns out there was a typo in the address I was to send to, but was able to figure it out. Should be there in a week or so. And sorry about being cryptic in my own responses. Any old loose carts or movies you don't want any more will do. Consideration or cleverness in choosing a gift is a pleasant consideration, of course, but I'll take anything.

Red 5 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I too run and look in the mailbox like I'm 12 years old as soon as I get home from work. I won't be able to wait though... When it gets here, I'm ripping it open. Patience and I do not get along.

Austin Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I run to the mailbox like I'm 12 years old every day, but that's because I order too much crap on ebay. It would be nice to know if my out-of-country recipient recieved their gift. I've never mailed outside of the US, so I'm a little wary about it..

the.golden.ax Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 While I was at home, the gate was closed so I got a orange pick-up slip today. Not sure if it is my gift, they said the sender was "CA." I don't want to abuse my powers and look at who got me. It could be a package from Canada I suppose.

SoulBlazer Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) You're very welcome, Zeptari. I tend to be a modern gamer instead of a classic collector like many people on here, so I knew that whoever I got I'd have to take a risk on the condition and buy blind from Amazon, and hope that the seller was honest about the condition. So when I got the list of what that Zeptari was looking for, I went on there and picked out two games from what he wanted. Luckily the condition was very good, as the sellers had indicated. I then boxed them to make sure they would get to him safe and sound. Not only did Zeptari get the games safe and sound, but he was kind enough to send me a personal thank you card that I got in the mail on Thursday. Since I was a modern gamer, I figured I'd try to make this as easy as possible for my Secret Santa. Money has been very tight for me and there's a number of things I'd like to get that I haven't had the resources for. So I just put in my list a few gift cards. I normaly dislike asking for those, but in this case I felt it would be easiest. So today I get in the mail what looked like a Christmas card. Figuring it was from a friend or family member, and not really paying attention, I opened it up and took a look inside. I was surprised to see that it was from my Secret Santa and inside was: A XBox live points card for 1600 points. Sweet! So, many thanks to Moycon for the nice gift. He even went above and beyond the call of duty by scratching the bar code on the back of the card and recording it, in case it got lost in the mail.

AtariNerd Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 My package is going to be rather dull compared to the thoughtfulness some of the creative folks on here have endeavored to. My recipient will probably like what they receive, but .... I'll try harder next year.
