I was just thinking, would anyone be interested in a raffle?
I'm building up a 1950's Monark Firestone Cruiser that i plan on selling and thought it would be kinda cool to raffle it off on the forum.
the problem, though, is i'd obviously need to make my money back, 'cause i ain't rich enough to give bikes away, so i'd need a minimum amount of people to kick down some money in the hopes of winning an awesome bike.
i'd love to have it for $10 a ticket, but i'd need 100 people to buy one to make it worthwhile.
if i had it at 25 bucks a ticket, it'd take less people to re-coup my money, and you'd probably have better odds, as less people would enter.
another problem is shipping. i figure it'd cost $100 anywhere in the USA if i packed it right, and unless i had an overwhelming amount of entrants, i think the winner should pay for shipping.
also, if i had a lot of entrants, i'd donate some of the profits to a charity. don't really have one in mind, but the red cross has helped me out in the past when my apartment burnt down, so i know that the money donated actually does something good.
and to make it so no one thinks i'm cheating, i could hold the raffle at the deathrace, and let someone else pick the ticket.
so, whattaya think? wouldja buy a ticket?
