Bea's Raffle

[cj121]

I am at home now & ready to put my parcel together, please let me know where to send it too?

Simon, due to logistics, donors are to post out the prizes to the winning recipients I think. It might be worth popping up a list/picture of your donation for reference though.

OK will do so tomorrow.

Any final suggestions on how to run this before i soldier on?

Give each lot a number, each "ticket" purchased gets a number to correspond to purchaser, using a random number generator choose a "ticket" then a lot. , or vice versa.

Take a screen shot to show the name assigned to the ticket/lot, I've seen online raffles done like this and it seems to work.

Final call.

I have received requests for both a straight raffle and for a raffle but to seperate certain high ticket items an allow direct bidding.

I will go with general consensus which is currently leaning towards a straight raffle.

Marc, I have a desktop cutter I will donate to the raffle also, I don't have any pictures to hand but I'll send some on Monday. I think it would be best as a straight raffle to add in my 2c. I'm sure there will be people who buy a few tickets, me being one of them!

I'll donate some ERDM Vikingos, I'll post photos up later

I think a mixture of the two would be best, maybe the lots that are likely to be popular as an auction and the other in the raffle, I'm sure there will be a couple that will raise more if they're auctioned

i was thinking an auction for higher priced items myself, but I wouldn't want to sway things against the tide. It could get complicated with the latter, but seems to make sense for the value of some prospective items. Plus, there's still some bits to come in, like Mr Monkey's fine selection of puros for instance [MENTION=469]monkey66[/MENTION]. There remains the consideration of splitting up lots of sticks into lots perhaps too. Marc, fair play mate

My worry about an auction is thus.

Items even high ticket ones are unlikely to attract bids higher than their value. Yet a single high ticket item could tie numerous bidders up. E.g I could afford to bid X ammount to try and win something I wanted but that would mean I couldbt afford to buy X amount of tickets. If this was the same for say 3-4 people who sacrifice buying tickets in favour of trying to get a bargain on a bif itembthat only one person can win, we have effectively sold something for less than its vaule and sold a hell of a lot less tickets than we could have done.

That wpukd be a great bargain for someone who get's a nice item..... But not so great at raising total funds in my mind.

Part of the fun of a raffle is surely that everyone has a crack at the big stuff and thus is willing to pay in to have a pop at the fun.

I want to contribute a prize of 3 cigars, all H&F, aged and a bit different:

1999 Cuaba Tradicionales
2007 Bolivar BF (Orchant Seleccion)
2012 Punch Medalla De Oro

Looking forward to buying a few tickets for a good cause.
