In my personal opinion, I don't think it's a huge deal if they were sent "late". Yes, it would have been ideal (as the original plan stated) if people received their cards at least one week prior, but I don't think it's the end of the world if that didn't happen. It's the thought that counts, 'tis better to give than receive, yadda yadda yadda... I'm just wondering how many people completely forgot and/or completely misunderstood what they had to do. :thinking:

^ Cute Afeather, you are too funny! I received the exact same banking info also. I just contacted my bank to verify how the transfer would work. Apparently the receiving bank (Natwest) would calculate the pound/dollar exchange equivalent. So, I'll either go today after work, or sometime tomorrow... I'm so glad the payment debacle is finally getting resolved! EDIT: BTW, I just received my passport a couple of weeks ago... :D

Well, when I arrived at work this morning there was an e-mail from the seller with bank transfer info. I will delve into it further later on today when I get the chance.

I'm assuming it wasn't a Coldplayer...

Let me do a little survey here. Obviously, people have had issues with trying to pay, getting contacted, etc. Has ANYONE here actually been able to pay yet?

Sunny, but chilly. I think it's about -10 degrees C.

Thanks Afeather!

Still haven't received mine yet, but I'll check the mail when I get home.

Yes, I suppose that makes sense now, it is good to be objective in the news-reporting department. If you do decide to go to one of their last shows, and if you manage to get within sight of them, you should hold up a sign that says, "Jonny, your Viva guitar will be safe with me!" :lol:

HOLY CANNOLI!!! That's so great that you got Jonny's Viva guitar! I'll bet it will be hard to wait 3 months to get it while he uses it on the last part of their tour. :bomb: Question: why didn't you mention that you won it in your article? I'll update my earlier post with the results... I suppose that makes it closer to 25% that Coldplayers contributed to KidsCo. ;)

Thanks ;) I'll update the original. I still can't get over how wonderful all of this is! Yay!

Awesome, congratulations! I'll update my earlier post...

Remember KT... you'll have to wait a few months for any pics since those jackets won't be sent until after the Latin America VIVA tour... :freak: But yeah, Afeather, when you do post pics you need to make sure you post one of you licking it that way MrsBerryman1 (and any other Guy lovers out there) can live vicariously through you. :wink3: Which reminds me... I need to figure out who got Will's jacket...:drummer:

I ran into the same issue you did; I haven't heard anything either (from ebay or KidsCo), but yesterday Debs said that "bank transfers would be considered". But I haven't heard directly from KidsCo yet as far as arranging the bank transfer. Considering the holiday, I'm guessing I won't hear from them until early next week.

Ooops, sorry I missed that one. Thanks for letting me know, I'll go ahead and fix the post. Yeah, this was so much fun, even the tension was exciting!

^ :laugh3: too cute! I'll edit my post above to account for the appropriate amount.

That's over 30% of the total amount raised in the auction! Way to go, Coldplayers! And that's not to say we were the only fans who won... I'm sure there were plenty of other fans that won, but they just aren't "official" members on coldplaying.com. If any of the information here is incorrect (or if I just plain missed anything), let me know and I can edit the post. Happy New Year everyone!

I've got a list of Coldplayers' winnings... I'll type it in another post in 10-15 minutes. Maybe Monday's story can be updated with the cumulative list... :P

YYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! CONGRATS! You need to learn LIT and post a video for all of us. :D

Couldn't you just buy Will for a day or two for vocals? :lol: (I say Will because I honestly think he's got the better voice)

We need to make an official list... I know there was one started the other day...

WHY DID YOU SAY YOU DIDN'T GET IT?!? And as I mentioned in my earlier post... you must take pics of what I told you to do...

But isn't that the SS outfit then? Or Will's jacket? I'm confused. Please clarify blue. Are we talking caribbean blue, near-periwinkle blue...

Then what was the "drumroll please" for? What a tease.. :laugh3: Unless, of course, your girlfriend got it and you are just being technical by saying you didn't get it...

YAY! YOU GOT IT!?! Remember what I said you need to do... and I want pics of you doing it...
