We have already given away some great stuff as part of our 5 year celebration but we’re just getting started. Here’s the next round in our giveaway plus a first look at the grand prize. Before we go there though just a reminder that we are still running our “Gear Diary at 5 Giveaway: It’s In the Bag” contest and we have three awesome review samples up for grabs. Head over to enter!
Now the new giveaway.
Judie just reviewed the Sceptre 24″ HDTV / DVD Combo. Aside from some disappointment with the sound coming from the speakers she was pretty impressed with it. Here’s what she had to say:
The Sceptre 24″ LED HDTV and DVD Combo is available from Target, NewEgg, Sears and Costco
MSRP: $499 – although you can find it for much less (approximately half that) onlineWhat I Like: Brilliant high-definition picture; DVD player is build-in; easily mounts to any four-point Ergotron (or other brand) wall or desk mount; may be used as a computer monitor or photo frame
What Needs Improvement: Sound from the TV is tinny , not very loud, and has no bass; remote control requires separate volume control when adjusting DVD sound; remote uses a non-standard CR2520 coin cell battery; if mounting on a wall, be sure to have a way to hide and support the power brick; you will likely need to invest in an after-market speaker system
We’re giving it away!!! How can you enter to win it? Simple.
Step 1. Leave a comment on that post.
Step 2. Leave a comment on THIS post letting us know your favorite three CURRENT television shows.
Step 3. For extra credit and a second time your name will be throw in the hat: Tell us one post here in Gear Diary that mentions a television program. Name the post and the show.
We’ll pick one winner and that individual will have 24 hours from the time the announcement goes live to let us know they won.
But Wait… There’s More. On September 30th we will celebrate the actual date of Gear Diary going live. To celebrate we will have an awesome grand prize for one winner to take home (or have shipped to their home to be accurate). The grand prize contest IS NOT STARTING but we did want to let you know the first item that will be part of it. Here’s a hint…
Here’s another hint… here’s the review of it.
We’ll be adding more items to the Grand Prize in the next few days. Look for details regarding how to enter soon.
The fine print
The contests will cover the next two weeks leading us to September 30th, the actual anniversary of Gear Diary. This week we will be giving away a ton of review items. Almost all of them have been opened and lightly used for review, but all are in perfect working order without any significant cosmetic blemishes. Most have original packaging and any accompanying paperwork.Each contest will last no more than two days with some taking far less time than that. To enter there will be some activity, task or challenge connected to each and every one of them. Among other things, we hope that these contests help you get to know the site and all of us even better.
The winners will be announced here on the site (not directly by e-mail), and will have just 24 hours from the time the announcement goes live to email us with their name and shipping address. After 24 hours, we reserve the right to either pick another winner or do a new contest with that item. Translation: if you enter a contest keep checking the site to see if you won.
Since we are going to have so many different items to give away over the next 14 or so days, we won’t be shipping any of them until the beginning of October, so please be patient with us. We promise, if you win one of the contests you will be getting your prize as soon as we can possibly make it happen. (And in advance, apologies, but we will only be shipping within the USA.)
