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...

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Larry Shelby Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) 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!

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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'! ?

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 It's not bad math, the upper tiers are planned. Again, 25K participants will = 24 freebies = 25 for the price of 1 like it says on the tin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
