Harry potter and statistics
Hello,
I got an email from someone concerned about getting only a couple back for every 10 they send and they wanted to know a sure fire way to get addresses guaranteed. There are none! Espeically today I was mad because there was liek the 20th Harry potter report of someone getting an autograph and I never did..... so I added my list up of whom I sent to and who I got... here's the list of who I have not gotten Robert Hardy Rupert Grint Chris Rankin Leslie Phillips John Cleese Alan Howard Will Theakston Luke Youngblood Robbie Coltrane Verne Troyer (and he's got my check too) Maggie Smith Miriam Margoyles Bonnie Wright Ian Hart Emily Dale Christian Coulson Michael Gambdon Richard Bremmer Geraldine Somerville Nina Young Elizabeth Spriggs Veronica Clifford Warwick Davis-resend; have a SW image and wanted a Potter one Daisy Bates Tony Christian Martin Bayfield Rik Mayall Gemma Padley Daniel Radcliffe Les Bubb-... promised to sign and didn't. Timothy Spall Gary Oldman David Thewlis Pam Ferris Paul Whitehouse Julie Christie Lee Ingleby Alfie Enoch Sarah Bennett...she's ignored me since Star Wars times.... This doesn't include people like Emma Watson, Isaacs and Rickman who sent form letter saying "too busy for autographs" These are just ones NEVER returned that I put UK postage on.... as you can see, in a few months, probably close to 100.00 in wasted postage and probably another 50.00 in ink and paper easily. ! How many successes did I receive? Not inlcuding trades or purchases: 33 through the mail success. I believe those unreturned add up to 38 so a success rate of less than 50%. If you include Watson, Isaacs and Rickman, that's 41 failures. I had two RTS's but tried other addresses that ended up working. Bought: 2 actually 4 but one didn't come yet and another was an additional to one I got ttm. Trades: 7 and ones that were Star Wars related but were in Potter too.... I only have them ttm from SW requests: 5 But 41 requests with So that's not the greatest odds. Everyone should know success isn't guaranteed and you have to live with it. But in the meantime, if any of you collect Potter and wanna trade, let me know. I'd be interested in any of the ones who wasted my postage! Anyone else have a success rate to share? I'd be interested to know if this is about right or on the good/bad side. Heheh; we don't even want to go near the star wars ones...I have probably a thousand letters unanswered! |
