BeaconBob - we'll take all the orders received by March 31. Let's say 250 are sold by then. We'll take the first 255 (#2-6 are reserved for future drawings) and we'll randomly match the order with a number from from #1, then #7-#255 with each of those orders.

Everyone who orders between now and March 31 will have an equal chance of getting #1 and so on. No numbers will be announce before shipping (or after, for that matter). It will be up to the winners to post what they got.

Items purchased after March 31 will be given out in order from wherever we are (#256 in the example above) to the end.
