We were given the wrong information from the competition organisers. However, anyone that texted will NOT be charged.

Interesting....<br />That's a very good point but considering the sheer number of fans expressing intense interest in this guitar it's unlikely that a few trivia questions would stop them. The number also doesn't seem to work outside the UK, an error message appears. This would automatically weed out about 90% of potential participants(and likely minimize potential donations). I also wonder how many entrants would actually make the small donation. Surely there must be easier ways to raise money?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388856214922471928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-50674427807620343252016-10-02T04:54:07.585-05:002016-10-02T04:54:07.585-05:00I believe the previous item that was put on ebay w...I believe the previous item that was put on ebay was taken down following 'intervention'.<br /><br />Anyway, the idea is to raise money, a quiz would just put people off from bothering.Crimson Tonighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464996807790506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-28487563877010939262016-10-01T10:59:17.318-05:002016-10-01T10:59:17.318-05:00Love the groovy, colorful design of the guitar. Ma...Love the groovy, colorful design of the guitar. Maybe they can also throw in the '60's inspired Cure Bestival merch as a bonus. Looks like one can enter up to 10(!) times. Hmmm...I'm thinking they should make this a bit more challenging by requiring the texter to answer a few Cure-related trivia questions in order to qualify. This wouldn't necessarily preclude "scalpers" or non-fans from getting their grubby little hands on the prize but at least it would weed many of them out and create an extra obstacle. Even though resale is prohibited, there is still the possibility this could pop up on eBay or some underground marketplace for an outrageous sum. Years ago (around the time of Reflections), I remember RS posting something about the deep dismay he felt after realizing that a guitar he signed after a concert had reappeared on eBay. Considering the cost of international shipping, insurance, etc., if the winner happens to be outside the UK but still within a reasonable distance it might make more sense (depending on their location) to fly to London, pick up the item in person, and possibly make a trip out of it.piggywigeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781992820829104650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-3585477029778810972016-09-30T11:55:30.675-05:002016-09-30T11:55:30.675-05:00Oh, good news then.thanks for the info.
