out of curiosity, might it be better to do an auction isntead, or
perhapse both - if several dealers are going to kick in multiple items
(and i owuld be willing to offer material as well) then what is there to
guarantee that the monies realized from the raffle tickets exceed the
reasonable value of the prizes?
Dear Stan and List:
I appreciate your suggestion, Stan, and also your kind offer to donate
material. We have already received a few very fine donations, with more to
come tomorrow. I think you will all be quite surprised when you see the
list of items. Yes, you'll want to buy LOTS of raffle tickets : )
One of the benefits of doing it this way is that we can make the raffle
happen very quickly. However, you could be right about doing both. If
someone who is Ebay savvy would like to volunteer to help me, I would be
happy to put some/a few of the items on Ebay -- maybe for a quick
three-day auction? -- provided that meets with the approval of the people
who donated them. I'm going to have my hands full with organizing the
raffle, so I'll need help if we're going to go that way. We can link to
the Ebay auctions from my raffle web page, so everyone can see all the
items. If anyone wants to volunteer to assist with that, please let me
know.
Thanks to the generosity of several List members, we will almost certainly
have several lots, i.e. First Prize, Second Prize, and some runners-up as
well, so we could probably spare some items for Ebay.
I will get the list of our raffle items and as many photos as possible up
tomorrow.
Keep those donations and ticket purchases coming in.
Thanks for your support.
Geoff N.
