    then the item is shipped to the winner and the winner jumps up and down for joy for the freebie. ;)


    it would be cool i think if the rules would change.. i figure to get more and fair participation. every karma winner should then turn around and offer something up to Club Polk as a thank you. (just a thought. but a damn good one. :p )

    That's what I was expecting to hear. If you win, then you offer something yourself.

    You send me money (and/or audio equipment) and hopefully one day (or in your next life) your good deed will be rewarded! Simple as that! ;)

    that's just my take on it. that's not the rules though.. i offered something up a while back.. even though i haven't won before. it's cool though. i'm a giver. :cool:

    I offered up two karma items before I went to Vegas and the karma came back to me in a big way at the Craps table.:D
    I have never won a karma here but I am glad I had something to give.

    You are correct, if you only receive free stuff but don't give any, then that is BAD karma.

    glad someone brought this up...does post count matter? if so when are you not considered a 'newbie' anymore? I don't have much to offer as far as gear, my current system is my first of any quality...but who knows down the road.

    The rules of the karma item are up to the individual offering it.

    Yall wouldnt be to mad if I put up a Karma...

    That would normally cost a bit... for free - but charge the winner shipping? (its large, and cost more than 5 bucks to ship)...

    I cant tell you what it is. Just looking for a response.

    Same here, but no luck in Vegas for my ****. Hopefully I'll win that PF karma. I've been pondering buying that DVD, so I'll wait and see.

    Hell, why not. If it's nice, I'm sure I'd pay to have it shipped.

    Depends on the rules of the karma, but generally if there is a post amount, it's 50+
    Heck sometimes there are karmas for newbies only.

    As long as it is worth more than the cost of shipping it should still be good karma.

    Sid, it's your Karma if you decide to put it up for grabs.. so you can set the rules. if someone doesn't want to pay shipping. then they don't have to enter. it's that easy.

    your karma, your rules. unless they change. :)

    Sid, I say it's ok as long as you list that the winner pays shipping cost,

    It whould be nice to list apx cost to ship or the weight of the item and you ZIP.
