Alright, let's talk about this.. (NIB raffle)

[REVOLUTION]

Ok, so the ticket sales for the NIB Stern is moving at a snail's pace. SO, here's what I propose

We collect as much cash as we can by Dec. 1st, 2013. I will buy whatever machine I can with that money. I'd have enough time to shop the game out (donating my time and efforts) and we'll do a draw for said game on December 24th. That will mean an early Christmas present for ONE lucky member!

The other option is that we keep going with the original plan and collect enough coin to buy a NIB game, but I can't honestly say when we'll reach that number. It could be this time next year for all I know

Anyway, as it stands we have $700 collected, which is enough to buy a really nice Classic Stern or an average Classic Bally. I'd like to get the number up to at least Data East DMD territory by December 1st (around $2k)

Let me know your thoughts..

collect till dec 1st , then buy what machine you can for the money. and viola winner. or issue refunds

 

[tkaye]

I agree with that idea Brock
Lets collect what we can and give the winner the option to put it toward a NIB or a purchase though
What do you think guys??

 

[REVOLUTION]

or issue refunds

I forgot to mention, anyone who doesn't like the idea of a new format can get a refund of their tickets, no problems at all.

I'm content with both ideas, a December 1st "the best we can find" or waiting until NIB is reached.

 

[hippochrome]

Dec. 1st draw sounds good...But whatever you decide is fine with me Brock!

 

[WARLOCK]

Great ideas from everyone. I am in! Raise as much as we can by that date....and whammo for the winner!

 

[spiroagnew]

Raise just enough to buy a really nice Torpedo Alley...

All kidding aside, I like the "buy a game with however much money we have" idea. I gotta buy me some tickets now!

 

[Hammerhead]

Sounds like a plan - save up to December, have the draw and Merry Christmas to me!

 

[frolic]

Star Trek is due around then, why not offer a credit against that machine if that is something the winner wanted?

 

[smokedog]

My two cents:

Let the winner decide between pin for xx value, credit towards a NiB, or $$ towards some Pinball Customs/Pinball Life GC/Starburst, etc. Pretty much anything except straight cash win.

Also, I'm not sure if you want, but I could spread the word out west and potentially get more in on the draw. We only need 50 tickets sold for a NiB pro.

 

[REVOLUTION]

Yup! I don't mind offering credit towards something else, that works too. So let's aim for December 1st as the cut off for ticket sales.

i'm good with either.

Maybe a little refresher on how to buy tickets and how much is in order?
It's not listed in this thread. I'd be in for a ticket.

I feel like there is some kind of inside joke here, but is it acceptable to send money via email money transfer for this contest, or does it have to be through pay pal?

 

[McMean]

Did I even enter this draw? I meant to.... Is there going to be a list of who's all in?

 

[ThunderStorm]

i was in for 2 tickets i think

Still waiting to hear back about this as well as site donations with reference to my previous post. I've PM's Brock also with no response yet.
