Victoria Cross $10 Ballot

[kchan1111]

It's done by software. Takes the same effort to send 1,000 and 5,000 emails, and even 5,000,000. Why make people wait?

so they do not have thousands of people trying to buy off their eshop all at the same time, they said earlier. this is off their page "They are being sent out at intervals to ensure customers are able to access the eShop with ease."
I see one on ebay now for $202.50 with 30 bids and still over 6 days to go on auction. :shok:

I entered ballot via RAM facebook with no address just my username.
Not too fussed if I got one ... take it or leave it

[autocoupler]

No email for me :beg: All good, and congrats to those who did. Just a thought though, and not being catty, I'm wondering if the ballot was actually open to all comers, or maybe there could have been a criteria where current members received preference. :diablo:

I received my e-mail today . Have purchased my coin already.

Flood control.  A lot of outgoing mail servers have a flood limit which requires a delay between sending emails.  That's assuming they have an automated system for sending emails.  The other possibility is that it's the public service and they have some poor schmo sitting there sending out emails manually.

I'll go with the later Mark but bet they are pushing for automation so as to save the budget :winkextra:

I just saw a member of coin site on Face Book just won 3.  I would have settled for one but it's just not my luck.

According to the RAM FB site they are still sending out emails today.  Don't get down-hearted just yet.

Not much of a website if it can't handle a mere 5000 visitors! :dodgy:

I'd say they just want to torture people.

I didn't put my hand up for the ballot coin But this arrived today.
For "Grannybait" it is a really good design and I will be sending this off to be graded when I send my next batch in :good:

[kchan1111]

Sorry now I didn't give it a go.

I'm having the same problem as RG, when I try to log on RAM Eshop says my email addy is not valid,  it's the exact same email their advice was sent to, and I've forgotten my password, so will probably ring them tomorrow. :dash1: :dash1:
