    Not really...I have it narrowed down to 6 or 7. We need more hints from the PA guys.

    I seriously have no idea either. I'm pretty sure my target could narrow it down to 2-3 people based on my hints alone.

    I'm reasonably sure I know my sender. He lives a long ways away.

    Content Hint: I have 8 beers from my target's want list in hand, and hope to get a couple more this weekend as I head north along the coast...

    I have narrowed it down to 8, but I'm pretty sure I already know who it is. Regardless, I just hope to make my target stoked with the box he gets!

    I'll be shipping sometime next week. My target has less than 70 "Wants" so it's been a bit of a challenge to tick more than a handful, but I think the rest of the box will make up for it. I've also enlisted the help of a Local to assist in the destruction of my target's porch, so you might want to contact a structural engineer ASAP and make sure that thing is up to code...

    Thanks for the LIF chance and congrats! I'm going with Motley Crue, Girls Girls Girls 8.5.3

    I'm narrowed to 3 senders, I think. Couple CA guys, one seems a probably not but couple vague clues. And a FL guy.

    I basically always want great tasting interesting beer so if you think a beer fits that description and it's something I haven't had before, count that as a "want" :slight_smile:

    Last Hint Probably. My targets first name has 5 letters or less.

    Hint 1 - shipping west
    Hint 2 - shipping to a border state.
    Hint 3 - my target has less than 30 trades.
    Hint 4 - I've ticked off 7 "wants" so far off my targets list.
    Hint 5 - My target will receive the package between Monday - Friday.
    Hint 6 - TBD.

    Same goes for me- I'm a newbie to BA and haven't come up with a ton of wants yet. I'm always happy to try something new though!

    I'm in similar situation with my target. Most wants are not in my wheel house, but I'm doing my best to make it an awesome box. I think overall quality of the box will make up for lack of ticking wants.

    I'm in the same boat as a few above. I have no idea whose sending to me, granted I was out of it for the last couple weeks on vacation and need to reread the last 5 pages now that I have wifi again.

    This is 100% accurate. Ticking Wants is great, but putting together a good box is the point, Wants or no.

    Looking back through it. I think my Target is from Texas or Florida.

    I was about to add another hint; an actually helpful one, that I'm shipping to a state that has more than one participant... then I realized that only knocks out 3 people :grimacing:

    To make this hint actually helpful, I'll add that the state to which I'm shipping also has fewer than 4 participants.
