Thanks so much guys! And thanks for the recognition on the front page Tamer!!!!
Now I need your guys opinion...
Initially, I built this diorama to be given away as a prize for a trivia/scavenger hunt in my home (I am hosting the Kentucky Star Wars Collectors Club meeting in November) as a way to say thanks to the club for the award that I won for my Coruscant diorama…I now feel guilty for even saying this but part of me wants to keep it. ? I haven’t committed, or even mentioned that I intend to give this away. It’s completely of my own volition.
I guess my only reservation is that I want the person who wins it (if people would even be interested) to want it for the sake of wanting it, not because they intend to re-sell it on Ebay. I guess theoretically if someone sold it on Ebay it would eventually end up in the hands of someone who wanted it anyway, but I think there is still that level of disconnect. Think of it as giving up your baby for adoption…this is one of my babies. That’s why I thought a trivia/scavenger hunt game would be appropriate, rather than a raffle drawing. That way I know the probability of it landing in someone’s hands who really wants it, is good, whereas anybody can pony up a dollar for a raffle ticket. I wouldn’t be so vexed about this, if I didn’t have 2 ½ weeks of work, and approximately $90 in materials invested (don’t worry, those materials can still be used on many other projects, so it’s not like this thing really cost $90, but still…). Not to be dramatic, but I’ve even considered that this might even be considered heirloom quality, but I don’t have kids so who am I going to give it to?
So my questions are:
Do you think people would be interested in winning this? (the target audience will be a bunch of Star Wars, toy loving geeks like myself).
Should I even give it away in the first place?
Give it to a close friend who I know will appreciate it?
Comments or ideas?
THANK YOU!!!!
