Are the participants here allowed to sell the gifts they get? I kind of feel bad that the person I sent my gifts to already did without even posting pics of the gifts =(

Yea, I'm not fond of that, but in the end, it was a gift and they can do what they please with it

If you know, breaking people's hearts and hurting your feelings is your thing

Can I break your heart as well by calling you 63sdfaklj to make myself feel better?

That's how I feel as well. I would much rather they give it to a friend or someone who would enjoy it instead of out right selling it.

Synjin · « **Reply #1103 on:** Thu, 02 July 2015, 12:35:41 »

Yeah or at least sell it at a cheap price rather than sell them higher than retail.

If it makes you happy

Yea, but at least you had a fun time being a part of this

Agreed. If you got it as a gift, I'd prefer it be given as a gift and not sold.

Nerd claptrap is my spirit animal. He has been with me for many years now, across numerous websites.

Actually if my gifted wants to sell my gifts, its xomoetely up to him especially if he wants cash to buy stuff he actually wants. He probably should have put on his description for Santa's that he wants either X or cash rather than just what they prefer

I'm so butt hurt lol

Halverson · « **Reply #1111 on:** Thu, 02 July 2015, 12:49:11 »

Yea that's a **** move, especially without posting pics!

Screw the selling, where the pics at?

I guess you can't show pics if you sold everything

nubbinator · « **Reply #1113 on:** Thu, 02 July 2015, 12:56:44 »

Rotaku, I haven't forgotten you. If it's okay with, I'm going to give your info to a couple of people who wanted to send you a little something as well. Looks like noisyturtle decided video games for a system he doesn't own, gundam models, and Clacks are more important than a low cost commitment to secret santa.

Synjin · « **Reply #1114 on:** Thu, 02 July 2015, 13:09:20 »

Maybe he just forgot since he hasn't logged in a while.

Nubbs spent a pretty decent amount of time trying to get updates from people running late. Also this only started at the end of may, so how you could fall off the face of the earth that quickly doesn't make sense to me.

Definitely not the case. He sent a PM a couple of weeks before everything was set to be sent and after his gift had been sent and, I think, received, asking if it was too late to back out. I told him it was way too late. Instead of sending his gift on to his santa or sending something, he sent nothing.

Anyways, lets keep it happier. So far I remember Sed8op8 and Badwrench saying they wanted to help with Rotaku's gift and I remember someone else saying they wanted to help too.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #1119 on:** Thu, 02 July 2015, 13:54:46 »

I can help out as well. Let me know.

Aw, thanks everyone! I tried to just forget about SS in the meantime (and it sucks cause I think I did really good on the gift I sent, and there are no pictures

) ) also, I'm still on vacation, and won't get back till next week, but this is so nice of you guys, because nobody is really obligated to help out

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but my primary issue with geekhack being down was the lack of secret santa pictures.

Same. This thread needs more pics!

Me 2 ......great stuff guys again this has been such an awesome event...sans a little unpleasantness but hopefully we can remedy that

My SS gift arrived while GH was down and this is it! I'm not sure who they are yet but the box was from AUS so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. At this point the candy is all gone

I have't watched the movies yet but I'm really excited to as they seem right up my alley! Thanks SS

Joey Quinn · « **Reply #1127 on:** Fri, 03 July 2015, 18:42:55 »

Also to my SS, when I was in Australia I loved your candy. I'd forgotten how much better your chocolate is than the crap we have state side.

this looks like an incredible amount of fun. hopefully i won't miss the next one. i assume that everyone else must love receiving packages as much as i love getting them. nice work, folks.

I'm sad I missed this round. I know when I participated last time it was an absolute blast. Big

to the people going above and beyond to make sure everyone's being included.

Rotaku · « **Reply #1135 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 21:00:55 »

Just got home after a two week trip, and i came home to this! Those candies were awesome, although i haven't tried the brick-jelly things but i need to

I also got my first fountain pen in there (which by the way looks really cool!), and maybe i can improve my terrible handwriting with it

) Thanks nubbs, this is seriously great.
