Raffling Ron's Winch

[LandyAndy]

Hello People.
We have an opportunity to raffle Rons winch to raise money for AULRO.
AULRO Classifieds - Message - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds (http://www.aulro.com/apc/showproduct.php/product/1863/cat/6)
We really need to sell a minimum of 100 tickets $10ea,and better still 150 to cover buying the winch and forwarding it to the winner.
General thoughts from the moderators is we wont sell enough tickets to cover it and make a few hundred bucks for AULRO.
This thread is about market reaserch,please reply if you WOULD buy tickets @$10 and how many if we do it.

Pics of the actual unit (Ron has to find the hand control):

Thanks
Andrew

[dolphint]

I'm interested, how are you going to make this work, who do we pay? when? how's it drawn?

[George130]

I would be in it for 2 tickets

[Brisruss]

I would be in for one.
Russ

[Xavie]

I could only go one ticket. How would payment be because paypal would take a good proportion of that so direct transfer?

And also I would of thought enough people would be in it.

[Debacle]

Put me down for a couple

[LandyAndy]

At the moment the idea is just to find out how many may be interested.We dont want to arrange a raffle if we cant cover the cost of the winch and delivery!!!!
Payment is easy if we go ahead,Incisor has an AULRO account for internet banking or there is paypal.

I want to make it clear that I didn't buy this winch so it isn't infected with my good luck.

However, I did edit and hand deliver my son's winning letter to 4WD Monthly magazine.

I've added a poll so please go back and vote.

[jik22]

I'd take a couple.

[timaus13]

I would be more than happy to participate in any raffle held by AULRO and pay by Direct Deposit.

[rovercare]

There have been some concerns raised over how much money the site will make out of this raffle.

I have the winch advertised at $700, however, for this raffle (only), I have reduced my price to $600. If we can sell 100 x $10 tickets, we'll make $400 for the site (less any shipping costs).

I think that if we don't have the numbers in a week, we won't get them - after all, this is a prize that many 4WDers would love but can't justify or, maybe, afford so there should be some interest. The retail value of the winch is $954 from ARB's latest catalogue.

If we can't get sufficient numbers, we won't proceed with the raffle and I'll sell the winch to one of the people who have indicated they'd like to buy it. We want to limit the number of tickets so that the buyers get pretty good odds.

Don't forget, there is probably no warranty as this winch is a few years old even though it has never been installed or used.

[gumby190]

I'd buy 4 or 5, depends on how long the lead up to the raffle is.

[p38arover]

The raffle will be in about 1 week.

[harry]

put me down for tw tickets please.
don't tell anyone, but that is a better winch than the one i have.
looks to be the same as grimaces.

[hodgo]

For a good cause I will have one depend on the hand brake ( wont tell her) I might even take a few.

Hodgo

[ivery819]

All in a good cause........I'll take 4 tickets !
(that's my Christmas shopping taken care of for SWMBO )
Even better if she wins !!!!!

[mike 90 RR]

[mcrover]

After I saw that Ran didnt buy it, I put down that I will have 1 as I already have a winch but you can never have too many winch's........Can you?:p

[VladTepes]

WOuld all those people in this thread saying "put me down for..." PLEASE vote in the poll so we as mods can determine how best to run this thing.
We will put up a place to 'reserve' tickets at a later (soon) date when we progress this thing.

Ive put down and polled for 2, in case nobody has worked it out, ticket sales would be around $1380,
