I need Batman related prizes for my site!
Hey there everybody! I started a Cave Prize Club on my site as a membership drive / fundraiser. I have found my first prize for the introductory drawing, and I am thinking of buying some shirts from Nate for future drawings, but I need more prizes. If you have things which might be really cool prizes, like accurate scale Batmobile models for sale, toys, games, autographed items, etc., please let me know. I might be interested in purchasing them from you. Thanks alot for you help!

I'm tempted to join just for the PS2 prize but for 3 bucks a month, I don't see your site offering any info that aren't already available for free in the form of a website or user forums elsewhere.

RE: I need Batman related prizes for my site!
I know. The newsletter is just a ruze. I am hoping the modest Batman prizes I offer every 2 weeks will entice some people to drop $3 per month to be a supporting member of the site. I have started putting more money than I ever intended into this site, which started out only for my own purposes. I either have to raise a little money, or cut all downloading (which, for the people who don't download, won't really matter). I would like to eventually host all the indie movies, etc. Instead of just asking for donations to keep the site alive, I wanted to offer some returns on peoples' "donations". So people can join, or not. Lol. I might lose more money on prizes than I make for the site!! Oh well, I would join if I were just a fan. Pretty good odds on that PS2 right now!!!!
Tim - What are you selling your shirts for? They might go good with Nate's N8Mobile shirts I'm probably gonna buy next month.

How do you plan to choose the random winner?

I programmed the software myself. Each time someone joins, the confirmation e-mail I get from paypal is extracted from MS Outlook and placed in an Access database file and assigned a seperate, sequential Primary Key. I then use a True Random Number Generator algorithm, since the built in VB RNG is not TRUELY random, and it selects a number cooresponding to a Primary Key. Whichever confirmation letter matches the random number, wins.

I was only kidding about the shirts... But, I may still offer merchandise on my site just for fun.

Well when you do, let me know!!!
PS - I looked up vacuum infusion technology - WOW! Great choice if you ever go that route! I even added PDF download link explaining the process in 12 pages of detail on the 1989 BATMOBILE page of my site.

Ebay is your only option.
Keep in mind that last auction posted here fetched up to 100 I think.

RE: I need Batman related prizes for my site!
I don't mind. This prize club is kinda a gamble for me. I will likely lose more money than it raises. But I want to offer a few prizes that REALLY interest people in the club, then I will offer like one big prize and one medium prize each month. That would make a great prize! Hell, I'm giving away a freakin' PS2 for my first prize!
Lol. I probably already know who's gonna win, unless I get a bunch more poeple signed up. I only have 2 Members of the Club so far. It was one guy, who signed up TWICE! Lol. His odds are lookin good.

Well the first drawing (the one for the PS2 setup) is on the 15th of December. I will then do a drawing for new prizes every 2 weeks. Not always as spectacular, but it all depends on how many members I get.

RE: I need Batman related prizes for my site!
Good news, Starlight. I am now offering more than just a Prize drawing and a newsletter. Now my members get small discounts on various Batman themed merchandise from various prop builders out in Batman land. I am working on adding new pre-negotiated discounts all the time. I just started doing this, and already builders are being very kind and responsive. :) I have only been able to post a couple of the discounted items in the CAVE so far, but I have about 15 committed. I am hoping to get more '89 themed items, so if anybody out there has anything......
It looks like most (not all) discounts will be around 10%.
