    not really sure where to put this.

    I was wondering, if i where to raffle off some transformers here at about 1 to 2 dollars a ticket would people be interested? things like the newer genrations figures and such. trying to figure out if enough of you guys would be interested for it to be worth the effort for me. if i can be sure its worth it il buy the windcharger case from bbts and be sure to raffle one of him off to.

    comments? suggestions?

    Why a raffle? What would the raffle prizes be? If the money is going to you, how can your buyers be sure the contest is legit (ie. how's your junkion feedback)?

    An interesting idea, but you might find it difficult to get the support you're looking for.

    I really havent bought or sold much of anything here.

    i was thinking a raffle only because i thought it would be fun. somebody would get something pretty cheep and if you lose your not out very much. the prizes would be different each raffle. if i found it worth it i would buy the windcharger case and have available for raffle

    Do you have these figures already, or are you just looking to buy an entire case, get a windcharger, and get rid of the rest? Because if that's the case you might save yourself some time and money and just either try and sell the figures as they are or order a windcharger off ebay.

    I love Raffles! I got my (now sold...though.. :(  ) MIB Canadian PMOP for 5 bucks that way!

    BUT, it's totally illegal to do raffles via US-Mail...so pretty much no one does them anymore.
