The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!

[Balain]

I noticed western union has pre-paid credit cards. Maybe You can get one that way through the Netherlands. If you know someone that lives in the US maybe they can buy a card for you and send it to you. Although with a us visa gift card, it may work better if they register it there in the states and then give you the card info and change your shipping address to you instead of them.

The gift cards work like a credit card with a set amount. So for example I bought a $100 visa card for my pledge. The one thing most people forget though is there is a processing fee. So for the $100 card I ended up paying something like $106

I've currently run out of Ideas. Mostly cause I'm too sleepy now. Better head to bed. I hope something works out for you.

He needs something he could walk into a shop and put 20 Euro on if he so needs. I dunno if an American or British card would qualify.

[Savannah]

Since it goes through amazon.com, have you tried looking at their list of ways they accept payment? (Under "Help", I believe.) Maybe they have something that works for you.

[Duskranger]

I couldn't find any cards from the Netherlands but Here's a quick rundown of prepaid credit cards in the UK, to give you an idea of what to look for.

Thanks, I will need to check those cards with Dutch cards and such. I wished they accepted things like Ideal which is a big thing in the Netherlands, even though you can't really do creditcard like things with it.

But in the Netherlands apparantly it's very hard to come by prepaid giftcreditcards, probably because we don't use them that much. As far as I know, most things can be handled by paypal, Ideal or just online banking.

But I will look into the prepaid cards, thank you Playground.


And with the options abovehere, I could also ask someone with a credit card to give me their number, make the money over to them and than pledge that amount with their credit card, since simply said, I will get a mail with the shipping address and stuff.

Edit: Well, I will just go with the idea that I won't get those books. Unless I get a creditcard before the end of Februari. Thanks everyone for your help though :). Especially since I just saw my mistake, you need to put in an Amazon account, and that would be slightly unrealistic to ask someone to give me his Amazon account :)

[Joxer t' Mighty]

Just to throw it out there, a complete Little Psion That Could book illustration would make an awesome bonus prize.

If you're willing to put a little leg work into it, I would try looking at supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores. Those are the places that usually have them in the States.

Otherwise, Western Union is probably your best bet.

Good luck.

Apparantly Western Union is not on the list. So that one is out :(

Edit: The Netherlands is strange like that, supermarkets, drug stores etcetera have lots of things, but no credit cards. The credit card business is not so big in the Netherlands, if I wanted to find one (which I am going to try, a prepaid version I mean) I need to go to the bank.

Speaking of banks, I just found out that, apparently, Rabobank sells prepaid cards. At least I think that is what Google is trying to tell me. Might be worth trying them.

Also I would point out that these are technically prepaid debit cards. It's a fine distinction but perhaps an important one when trying to discuss this concept.

[Othniel Edden]

Cool, its still ongoing.I've been waiting till payday to pledge. :) Still deciding what I want to go after though. That 21 days left is accurate, right?

[Yendor]

You can find the list of cards Amazon accepts here.

Wait what?? Luckily that's my bank, so know only to find out how to get one.

I love you Porthos.

But I couldn't find it on the site. Am I that bad in Internetting :P

Yes it is. In fact, I don't know if Rich could close it down even if he wanted to. Which he doesn't, if his comments in are any indication

Speaking of which, Update #9 is live.

I searched for "Rabobank prepaid card" on Google and got this hit:

http://www.prepaid-creditcard.info/visa/

You'll have to tell me what it says though.

[Edna]

Woohoo! I knew there was a good reason for staying up late tonight--just managed to snag the brand new "The Whole Story (Signed)" reward!

If anyone's interested in the $38 reward I just dropped (signed Origins), move quickly!

And Don't Split the Party just hit the threshold for a reprinting... now.

Porthos, you are the (wo)man. It seems that in the Netherlands it's called a bit different though. Still I am going to try to get a card and pledge. Wish me luck.

[Advance Strat..]

Update is up folks, along with ADDITIONAL CRAYON DRAWINGS, GO GET THEM NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.

Seriously, they come with the "every single book" package near the bottom.

My Google Fu is strong.

Good Luck.

PS: And, yes, it's "man".

PLEDGE $305 OR MORE
25 BACKERS SOLD OUT (0 of 25 remaining)

[turkishproverb]

ARGLEBLARGLEFLARGLE! Those are some wicked new rewards.

[SweetBB]

I got mine!!! THIS was what I was waiting for!!!! Now I can go to sleep and have OOTSy dreams, no doubt!

[factotum]

The number of no-reward pledges has also grown slightly out of proportion to the growth of the pledge number as a whole, although it's possible that some of them will switch to a single DStP if it was the reason they pledged.

Couldn't that just be because all the limited reward levels are fully occupied, so people can't choose them even if they wanted to? (Or they were before the update 20-odd minutes ago, anyway!).

[Porthos]

Good frickin' gawd. The total has shot up something like $8,000 in the last twenty minutes.

Wait. Did I say "$8,000"? It just jumped up another thousand in the last minute!

[Duskranger]

I love it, and thanks to everyone here, I can also pledge for my print only books .

This evening I will take care that I get them, can't wait.

[factotum]

Wait. Did I say "$8,000"? It just jumped up another thousand in the last minute!

While I was looking at it another 2 backers went for the full $575 option, and I think somebody else went for the $262 a couple of minutes later...going like a train at the moment!

[Porthos]

Because of people upgrading, some of autographed book packages have opened up once again.

Might be worth checking it out if one only wants one/a couple of the books signed (or the Up to the Split autograph package, as that is getting freed up as people jump on board the Whole Package option).

[Exediron]

Couldn't that just be because all the limited reward levels are fully occupied, so people can't choose them even if they wanted to? (Or they were before the update 20-odd minutes ago, anyway!).

Well, yes - most of the limited reward levels are full. However, I would think that if someone wanted to pledge, say, $250 and the $250 level is full they would just pick a lower reward level and pledge over their reward instead of going for no reward at all. Unless of course none of the rewards below that level interested them, which I suppose is a possibility.

---

So far, as I predicted, pretty much the whole $222 level seems to be made up of people who switched from the $192 level (or at least, the numbers add up rather closely - there's no way to know if it's the same people). The $575 level is really tempting me, but that's too much for me

[Ouze]

So, what is the prize level I'd want if I wanted:

War & XP's
No Cure for the Paladin Blues
Don't Split The Party

Because right now I'm at the $79 pledge amount, and it looks like the closest one that includes all 3 would be $139, but that also includes a book I already have. Am I missing one in the middle there? If I wait, when DSTP is in full reprint, there will probably be a prize level in the $109 range that includes the exact 3 I want, right?

[EDIT] Darn, ninja'ed!

[EDIT 2] On an unrelated note, looks like some of the crayon drawing guys at the $250 level have upgraded to the $575 package...

[Rave7215]

For those with money to burn and already have the books, I just freed up a 250+ pledge reward for the crayon drawing (Increasing my own bid to the entire series + Crayon Drawing.) Get it while its hot!
