[QUOTE="SPRSNK, post: 71536, member: 454"] There isn't enough users on this forum alone to sell 500 tickets at $100 a piece. With the talk of "post count", limiting how many tickets each person could buy, this will never happen. Look how many tickets I had at the last raffle and what did I win? Nothing. It is all luck of the draw. The issue I see with "rescuing" a Raptor is this: It isn't going to hold off at an auction house until enough tickets are sold to purchase the Raptor. Even one with a salvage title isn't going to last. No one is going to front the cash up front in "hopes" that enough tickets would be sold. Then you have the issue of trying to get it fixed. Great in theory. I have a shop that could handle it but I am not a mechanic and do not pretend to be. While collectively we have the ability to repair a truck, it isn't going to happen. The only way a raffle could possibly happen is to raffle off a new one. It would take 380 tickets (minimum) for a break even point. With only 3000 users you are assuming that 1 out of 6 people is going to buy a ticket. My guess is that there isn't even 380 real [U][B]active[/B][/U] users on this site. We've see a couple come out during just this thread that read the forums, but do not post a lot. Another thing: It all depends on the state that the raffle is taking place in. In Texas, only Non-Profit 501c3's can legally hold a raffle. In Florida it is just illegal. Raffles are a form of gambling and subject to those laws. [/QUOTE]
