oggetti, creato il 01 gen 2024
I run periodic random giveaways on CoinTalk, and most months there is a "pick your prize" contest. This gallery shows the prize options available. Winners may select the item they desire the most.
To enter one of these contests, see this list on CoinTalk. The most recent contests will be at the top of the list. If there is an active contest you would like to enter, you may post in that contest thread over on CoinTalk. If you are unable to register on that site, you may message me here. (Just tell me which contest and which prize you are interested in).
The contests are totally free and include free worldwide shipping (unless otherwise stated). The only requirement I have is that I like to receive notice from my contest winners when they have received their prizes.
Items in this gallery are listed in chronological order. Since the photos are usually recycled from the sources I acquired the items from (or are my own amateurish cellphone shots), the quality of the images in this gallery is rather inconsistent.
