Well, this is very disappointing. I was very excited to get a new item, and my gifter even responded to my messages, but ended up giving me nothing. I'm just starting out with trading, too, so even the small item I gave away (that my recipient wanted) sets me back a lot. I really want to win a raffle, but of course there's so little chance that i really shouldn't get my hopes up. Unfortunately, unless the system changes, I don't think I'll risk participating in a similar thing next year.
That's totally what I assumed the process would be. It makes wonderful sense.
