o.k. so what if your reciepient ask's for something that you dont know what it is or are having a hard time finding it? who do i talk to about this? Im not giving anything away,everyone knows im in secret santa,just need help.
 
I'm having the same problem. There are a couple things on the list I can find, no sizes listed but I can guess if nothing else. Two other things I Googled and didn't come up with enough info to even attempt to guess and be confident to buy. I don't want to fall into the generic range and look like a cheap ass in my gift selection.
 
Mine was completely ambiguous. So I thought I will get creative and check their vaps to see what games they have...no VAPS entries, so I searched for numerous threads of theirs finally finding a pic of their arcade...so we will see what I can come up with...but I hear you there is definitely some more work with some of these...part of the fun though:)
 
SO, if i see one of you guy's here commenting and your not the guy,can i send one of yall a PM with just the things im having problems finding to see if you can help? or is that cheating?

I don't see why not. I'm sure your person would rather get the correct parts.
 
I'm not part of the santa thingy, so anyone can safely PM me without worry of compromise of secrecy, and I'll reply if I can help figure out WTF they're talking about, or where to find it.
 
done,done and done! thanks to another member (he know's who he is) who pointed me in the right direction and i was able to take care of all my shopping at one place!
 
I'm having the same problem. I have no clue where to get most of the items on the person's list, or even what some of the items are. I have some ideas for gifts that pretty much any arcade collector would enjoy, but I don't want to disappoint.
 
I may be able to help any of you who are confused about parts wanted. I have a pretty good idea of what is available where, and if the request is for a technical part I am sure I can ID it and pass that info along to the Santas...

Please feel free to PM me with anything that you are confused about or having a hard time locating. BTW, Moddessitt (I could have misspelled that) would be a great source of help as well.
 
I gave two options...specific and general. I'm not going to fault anyone that opts for general if the specific is too hard for them to come by. The only people that should be faulted would be the ones that punk out on their gift altogether.
 
should i have just had the package delivered straight to the recipient? I guess i could have saved a couple buck's but its being mailed to me then to him.
 
I've done it both ways in the past. If I'm ordering from a single site, I'll ask them to ship directly (I've even asked them not to put my info, and only KLOV Secret Santa on the invoice).

If I'm getting stuff from multiple places I'll consolidate at my place, and then send a single package.
