Hello,





I'm busy getting the next newsletter ready, but wanted to post the winners for the T-shirts. I'm referring to the contest to guess the "Perfect Penny Value" for snipes. It takes graphs and charts to explain it, so we need a few more days.





As expected, almost no one guessed. There are only two values. Out of thousands, only one person guessed the one true awesome value and four people guessed the other value.





So why all the winners, you ask? Well, we just picked the closest 100 people. Wouldn't you feel gypped if you missed it by a penny? (Actually, the difference in win rates for adjacent penny values is significant, but you know what I mean. This will all be explained later.)





Congratulations to the following eBay UserId's! (listed alphabetically)

So everyone on this list gets a shirt?

So everyone on this list gets a shirt?

Got my T-shirt. Love it!

Received my t-shirt yesterday, but the Postman made me pay .99 cents. Said there was not enough postage on the parcel. Oh well, I gues a buck for a t-shirt is not a bad deal!

We apologize for the insufficient postage. The post office quoted us a price that was supposed to cover it. Can you tell me what state you are in? That will help us prevent the problem in the future.

Postage issue was in Florida.

Let me know what your BidSlammer user id is and I will add a couple of bucks for your trouble. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the offer, but I would prefer not to post my user ID to the public. The service that you site provides has allowed me to secure items on ebay that I otherwise would not have been able to buy, or would have had to pay much more for them thru traditional bidding. It has saved me alot more than the .99 cent postage issue on the t-shirt. Thanks again for your service!

Awaiting for "the number".


Thanks for your great service.


Love the t shirt, I guess you will have more customers soon, I have been asked about it several times....


Thanks again.

Hi Thanks for the Tshirt, Came as a complete surprise when Post Girl brought me a parcel as I had not seen the winners list.. Pens are very useful.


Keep up the good work..

So, what are the best cents amounts?

The amount was supposed to revealed in a blog article, but we discovered that we needed to do a little more research on our data to cover all the bases. Look for an article coming soon.

Finally got this posted. I think you will find it interesting to say the least ...





Perfect Penny newsletter article

My name was on the winner's list, but I was not notified and I did not receive a t-shirt.

jrsbar,





There should have been a message posted on your home page. If not, send JaySlammer a pm by clicking here. Put T-shirt in the subject and tell him you haven't received your shirt yet. Be sure to include your full name and mailing address. Let me know if you have any trouble.
