Subject: Sponsor the guru Posted by: Klaus E - [4310141417] Wed, Mar 21, 13:42 OK... if you still haven't read today's blurb from the guru do it immediately. After all the discussions in this forum Rotoguru is finally ready to enter into the world of sponsorship. Soooo.... practice what you've been preaching and start donating! A little word of warning from my side goes out to all the Europeans/Non-US citizens who will try to register at Paypal in order to donate. I tried to register there a coupla months ago - and they never supplied the needed registration code - I know of lots of other Europeans having the same problems. So my advice to you is - forget Paypal and send cash right away. | ||||||

I have a question? If i only play Hoops do i have to pay during the months i play or during the entire year? | |||||

R5 - you don't "have" to pay at all. Pay when you want and how much you want. If you want to pay nothing, then pay nothing...it's up to you. Guru - do you have a preference as to whether we use paypal or send a check? I assume paypal costs a comission, so would it be better for you (money wise, anyway) if we just sent a check? | |||||

I have no preference. I pay a slight fee to PayPal, but it's not a big deal (and less than the postage you would spend - although you pay that...) Checks are fine, too. I've rented a private mailbox for this purpose, and I'll probably only check it once a week, so don't worry if you don't hear a quick response. In fact, if you send something by mail, I'd appreciate an email alert so that I remember to check it. | |||||

| 6 | Klaus E ID: 4310141417 Wed, Mar 21, 14:33 | LOL...like Forest Gump. Hey, Guru are you game??? | |||||

Guru... I don't feel like regisering through pay-pal, as it would be inconvienient for a student like myself. So, could you e-mail me your address so I could just mail you the five dollars during the months I use the site? Thanks a bunch... -Z- | |||||
| 8 | Padkee ID: 50962922 Wed, Mar 21, 14:42 | Guru - Just used PayPal to e-mail some $$$. Thanks for the great site. | |||||

The mailing address is listed near the bottom of the GuruPatron information page: Uncommon Cents, LLC 1245 Farmington Ave., PMB 386 West Hartford, CT 06107 Checks should be payable to either "Uncommon Cents, LLC" or "David Hall". | |||||

Just sent a paypal payment... Dave, just an idea, but your "patron page" doesn't have your e-mail listed to use to send pay pal payments. Some Gurupies may not have it. Also, the www.paypal link isn't the one to automatically get you a referral of $5 for those who need to sign up. Just FYI. Thanks, great site. rfs | |||||
| 12 | Guru ID: 330592710 Wed, Mar 21, 15:32 |
I just added my email address to the page for those who want to send directly from their existing account. It's unfortunate that the "simple" method doesn't include the referral info, but I suspect that most new registrants are unlikely to go through the additional steps needed to earn the $5 bonus. So I think the convenience of the button outweighs that shortcoming. | |||||
| 13 | Cornell AllStar ID: 5661130 Wed, Mar 21, 16:08 | I caved in and sent some money! I just couldn't help myself, although now I only have $45 dollars to live in for the next month or so, instead of $50. Ramen noodles here I come!! | |||||
| 14 | dz77 ID: 1410081 Wed, Mar 21, 16:40 |
Need to clear up my credit cards before sending on PayPal :p. Will do soon, tho. -dz77 | |||||
| 15 | BoNkA ID: 0212178 Wed, Mar 21, 16:48 | It's not much, but I should be sending $24-36(only $2-3 a month) over paypal once my dad ok's it. Like I said it's not much, but it will help and I don't really have much money to throw around since i'm going on 16 and will be needing to pay for a car, insurance, and soon college so...but I still feel I need to send Guru something for all his hard work. BTW, all I use are the forums and the 4 week schedule, but its a big help :) | |||||
| 16 | Z ID: 13439719 Wed, Mar 21, 16:59 |
Guru.. Sorry, one more question... Could I just give you 5 dollars instead of a check? Or, is it just a check or nothing? Sorry for so many question, but I want to contribute... -Z- | |||||
| 17 | Klaus E ID: 4310141417 Wed, Mar 21, 17:11 | Z... try this link and most of your questions should be answered - but yes of course you can send cash... | |||||
| 18 | Guru ID: 330592710 Wed, Mar 21, 17:21 |
Thanks, Klaus. (When all else fails, read the instructions...) | |||||
| 19 | Addicted ID: 610441810 Wed, Mar 21, 18:24 |
Okay, Done my donation, ordered my shirt. When do we get the all expense paid trip to Hawaii!!! Seriously though. Thanks for all you do Guru. I'm going to miss visiting this place once basketball season is over. But I'll be back in earnest next fall. BTW when do you plan to start selling the baseball caps? If it doesn't happen soon would you email me and I'll ante up as soon as I get the email. | |||||
| 20 | DR Stars ID: 4211161321 Wed, Mar 21, 20:20 | I tried registering on Paypal, but the DR is not in there... anyways I'll be in the states soon, and I'll try and send the money when I get there. Is it safe to send cash in the mail? it'll never happen here that's why I have to ask. | |||||
| 21 | Pond Scum ID: 54420321 Wed, Mar 21, 21:25 |
Sent my donation in as soon as I saw the "promotion". All of us who benefit from this site should contribute according to their means. We have all been accepting the Guru's subsidy for a while now, it's time to give a little back. Thanks again, Dave. | |||||
| 22 | Pilewort ID: 1224210 Wed, Mar 21, 22:12 |
I'd guess I could also just simply send the cash by snail mail to guru's house. I would trust him to put the money in his pocket, or his kid's college fund. And there'd be no traceable record, except for Guru's continued admiration of me. And Guru? How much for the Lincoln bedroom? This whole thing could steamroll into something big. We could organize fund-raiser dinners, just like Ducks Unlimited. Solicit raffle donations, such as Madman's keyboard, Jessica's bloomers or a Tracy McGrady roach clip? Tee-shirts, hell! Where do I buy Roto-Guru edible panties, Dave Hall stout or a homepage on Guru-net? Seriously, the check is in the mail. | |||||

| 25 | DR Stars ID: 162592010 Fri, Mar 23, 15:38 | Again, is it safe to send cash through snail mail??? | |||||
| 26 | Perm Dude ID: 28059111 Fri, Mar 23, 15:42 |
I've done it, but it's not the safest thing in the world. If I were you, I'd get a postal money order (you can get one at any post office). They are safer than cash, certainly, and the price is 75 cents. pd | |||||
| 27 | Guru ID: 330592710 Fri, Mar 23, 16:46 |
If you are sending a small amount, cash should be fine. I probably wouldn't send $100 in cash, though. Either way, put it in an envelope that is opaque enough that you can't see through it in the light - or wrap the bill in thick paper. | |||||
| 28 | Mike ID: 1116257 Fri, Mar 23, 17:18 | Klaus - thanks for the advice on PayPal - I am a litte wary of it so will send a bank draft or similar. | |||||
