Miss Melody, that surprise raffle was so much fun! I hope you do more like that in the future! I was excited to learn about the raffle, then I was excited to see who won, then I was excited to finally see it! I was on the edge of my seat for almost a month! Thank You! 😀

Yeah, I agree, and it was fun to torture the winner for a week or two!
My fear is that someone will get something and go “omg YUCK!”
( of course, Wampus Cat would never cause such a reaction)I don’t think anyone could “omg YUCK” a free Windstone 😆
and if they did, I would slap ’em! LOL!
Got a busted Windstone?

I wouldn’t go “yuck!” but I dislike some colorations I’ve seen. If I got something like that, I wouldn’t be pleased. I wouldn’t look a free windstone in the mouth! … but I’d rather “spend” my one raffle chance for something I really enjoy.
I think Surprise Raffles are a cool idea. 🙂 They would be great for those who enjoy surprises, are not particular about what they will receive, and choose to spend their one raffle chance on seeing their prize the day it arrives. The regular Raffles are definitely for those who prefer to see what they could possibly win with their one raffle chance. Personally if I hadn’t already won a raffle prize I’d love to enter a Surprise Raffle. 🙂
And of course the fact the Melody continues to give one free Windstone to a lucky forum member per month is totally awesome in itself! 😀
My suggestion would be to occasionally do what you did with Wampus Cat. Say the raffle is a dragon/oriental/unicorn/pegasus/griffin etc. Give a vague yet creative description of it, but don’t show a picture. Then let people enter…. I only entered the raffle because you said ‘dragon’ and that’s enough for me any day. The description that he was flamboyant didn’t deter me in the slightest.

As long as I knew what sculpt it was I’d be happy for more surprise raffles. But if it was just “a dragon”, what if it was, say, the young dragon? I don’t like that sculpt as much as say, the scratcher. So if I knew what the sculpt was, I’d participate in more surprise raffles! And put any color on an oriental and I’d be all over that raffle 😉

I agree completely! That way, the people that don’t like surprises don’t have to enter, but there are still raffles for those people. And a surprise every now and then for those of us that like the wild, off-the-wall, “what the heck is that” pieces!
If the person doesn’t like it, they can give it away (maybe through some other free raffle like I did with Buckeye) then they can enter future raffles.
Someone has to like it!
I am mixed about the “surprise” raffle. I did not enter because Melody called it Wampus CAT, and I do not care for the Flap Cats. Eventually I saw that she said it was actually a dragon, but that CAT part stuck in my head and kept me from entering. If I had actually seen this guy, I most definitely would have entered the raffle; he is great! 😀
I think most people would be happy to win any Windstone, but that means they cannot enter to win one they might be crazy about. I totally understand the people who do not want to give up this chance; but I have only seen one raffle piece that I actually disliked, and it wasn’t even a Flap Cat. I would have been thrilled to win the Wampus Cat, but I am one of those people who would be happy to win any Windstone. 🙂

Ditto! Whether it is a surprise raffle or a regular one I agree that Melody continues to do them every month is just amazing! Thanks, Melody.
All I know is that I would most definately enter ANY monthly auction entitled: WAMPUS GRIFFIN, WAMPUS POAD, WAMPUS UNICORN, WAMPUS DRAGON……etc etc etc
LOL
I like the idea of a surprise raffle, because I like opening a box and not knowing exactly what’s going to be inside. I suppose, though, that they shouldn’t always be surprises since some of us like to know exactly what we’re getting which is perfectly fine. 🙂
