Default Pay For Presents Contest

Overclock.net is feeling extremely festive this year and during these tough economic times, wants to encourage others to keep on giving

So saying this, for one lucky member, Overclock.net will pay for the presents you give others (up to $500)!

All you have to do to have a chance at winning is post in this thread a list of what you have purchased for your family/friends/loved ones and how much each item costs (make sure the recipient is not a member of Overclock.net or you will spoil the surprise!). Items you purchase for yourself should not be included on this list.

On December 26th, we will choose one lucky winner and pay for those gifts that you purchased!

Prize awarded via PayPal only.

Good luck

PS - Just so we don't get any exaggerations, if you win, please provide some proof of these purchases/dates/amounts.
