Wait, we were predicting how many free, dang it.  I meant that we'd hit 20K so I should have said 21 for my prediction... oops.

20K is 20 free so you were correct.

You are dang right! Back to 20 for Peter! 😄

If this group buy has even Peter mixed up, no wonder why so many others were... just saying... 🤣

@Peter - IK MultimediaBut... but... that means that the phrase on the GB page: "And so on, up to our goal of 25,000 participants, and 25 titles for the price of 1!" is actually wrong! It is 24,000 participant for the max of 25 for the price of one! 24 freebies is the max you can have since you have to buy one to get in!

I don't know if I mentioned here but I think I did... The phrase on the web page is correct.  The top tier is 25,000 participants and when that is reached there will be 24 freebies (25 for the price of 1).  We just haven't posted all of the tiers yet... :)

I was only mixed up as to whether we were predicting how many for the price of 1, how many free choices, or how many thousand participants.  Not mixed up about the details of the group buy are since I am one of the main people who crafted it.  Upper tiers will make it clear when posted.  Let's get to the point where we need to post those and it will make much more sense.

Well if I try it I get:

...

Buy 1 Get 20 Free* when 20,000 registrations are reached

Buy 1 Get 21 Free* when 21,000 registrations are reached

Buy 1 Get 22 Free* when 22,000 registrations are reached

Buy 1 Get 23 Free* when 23,000 registrations are reached

Buy 1 Get 24 Free* when 24,000 registrations are reached

So 24 free + the one you have to buy = 25 for the price of 1 and it is reached at 24,000 registration... if we ever get there.

Buy 1 Get 23 Free* when 23,000 registrations are reached

Buy 1 Get 24 Free* when 24,000 registrations are reached

So 24 free + the one you have to buy = 25 for the price of 1 and it is reached at 24,000 registration... if we ever get there.

Because it isn't every 1,000 there...  When 25,000 participants are reached, there will be 24 free items.

I got what I was after with the first 8...so NOW I take EVERYTHING in the $149.99 price range
until they're gone...and then down the line as long as the freebies last, even though I already
have them!

How big was your cone    😆

Things are getting personal now!

I did receive my small mostly-Italian origin haul this morning, quite happy with it though I purposely didn't get any perishables and they're mostly staples and more "common" brands to keep costs in line (and this was a toe-dip to see if this vendor is worth ordering from).  Perishables will be next time (plus the cured meats and fancy cheeses can be quite expensive vs the pantry goods).  Only mostly Italian because I'm also a sucker for hot sauce and spicy foods (and deals) and I'm hoping to persuade from of my Modena colleagues to give me an inside line on some of their best specialties.

I do want some Culatello though.  Quite expensive wherever I can find it, even when they stock it at the nice Italian market near the Florida office.

Tupperware pitcher is something my wife ordered.  Superautomatic Gaggia machine in the background is one of my favorite household items, too.

But, "And so on..." infers it would be every 1,000.  But I guess it could be every 1,250 taking it to 25,000 or it could be every 200 starting at 24,200.

IK secrecy or just IK math?     .....just sayin'!  😀

Look at this way....24,000 get's you 24 Freebies on top of the 1 you bought...
25,000 really get's you nothing except to say that we reached 25,000

1 freebie for every 1,000 entries except for the "goal" which is 25,000


25 for the price of 1

That is true by assuming the tier will remain at 1000 each, but that is not the case.
