sounds like a scam

jact · 02-20-2003, 03:47 PM

Geektech is the folks from Stiffycash.

PatrickM · 02-20-2003, 03:48 PM

I think that is porncity.net. They are located in Minneapolis...

Sasha18 · 02-20-2003, 04:04 PM

if it's from mike(porncity/stiffycash) it's probally a present.

do you use his programs or his board? He does stuff like that all the time. He often flies out to meet people who use his program.

Crow · 02-20-2003, 04:09 PM

It is most likely a prize from our BBS or something maybe you cashed in BBS points for? The other option is if you use Stiffy Cash maybe an item that you used Stiffy reward points for? If you live in Canada the $42 is most likely some form of tax they put on it. You can email [email protected] if you are not sure and she can probably help you figure it out.

Sasha, I believe you won one a few months ago on the porncity bbs, possibly for having the longest post that week or something. They give away shit like that all the time, I was one of the first to win a dvd player there a few years back.

Be happy, you won.

Scootermuze · 02-20-2003, 04:19 PM

Hmm.. I think I'd let it go back and run down to your local dept store and buy one for $25..

Kinda silly to 'win' somethin that ya have to pay more for it than it's worth..

It depends on the CD player. Also, I think we are talking Canadian dollars. I doubt you can buy a decent CD player for $25 CAD.

if mike (porncity/stiffycash) sent it I can guarentee is worth a LOT more than $50.....

I would think that $40 would be the duty/tax on it - meaning it's worth several hundred dollars.

Crow · 02-20-2003, 04:25 PM

As I said. Email Jessica as she keeps records on what is sent out as prizes etc and with a little info from you she can tell you what it is and why you won / or cashed in pts for it or what not. Keep in mind the weekend is coming up and if they are going to only hold the item for so long then you will need to email her soon.

That's right. The service fee from Canada post on my DVD player was something like $63 Cdn. I went and priced out the unit at local stores and at the time it was over $500 bucks.

Mayor isn't known for being cheap.

jact · 02-20-2003, 04:34 PM

Consider yourself lucky, the duty on things is so much cheaper than those goddamn UPS brokerage fees (Which are on top of duty). Like $50 on the hun PLUS duty..

salsbury · 02-20-2003, 04:45 PM

is it really a CD player? heh.

I won one of those from them a couple weeks ago.. Haven't claimed it yet, let me know if it's worth it when you pick it up

traffictrader · 02-20-2003, 06:05 PM

I'll bet the price is recurring.

tuffruff · 02-20-2003, 06:19 PM

Its part of our sinister PC BBS plan to send anthrax packages to every member of every other bbs board there is until we are the only one left standing...

Seriously though I run most of the contests over there and if you visit the board and are using a different nickname than what you use here email me at tuffruff at grics.net and ill lookup what you won. If not it might be something from one of Mayor and PC's many programs and either case jessica at geektech.com will be able to tell you exactly what it is what like Crow previously said.

Orgasmics · 02-21-2003, 04:25 AM

Yep, it's surely worth it. I've received several things from PCBBS/StiffyCash. Always nice stuff.

StuartD · 02-21-2003, 05:00 AM

It's probably actually an mp3 player.

Just before Christmas, PC was giving away digital cameras for most threads. However, those cameras became hard to get... back orders and stuff.

So the change was made to give away mp3 players. I received one of these also, quite a while later, as PC was hoping for the cameras, but they never came through.

As it turned out, it ended up costing me $40 as well, for customs to check it and everything.

Borders suck ass.

Joe_Stiffy · 02-21-2003, 01:05 PM

Greetings,

So... what did ya get?

Paying $46 for shipping & handling wouldn't be considered winning?

Ah I see.. maybe he/shes in Canada or someplace that charges duty/taxes before getting the items.
