Assume that the total price of this purchase is between $650 and $700. What price do you want to put tickets at?
-
I voted 10 dollars. If so, I would do a limit of 3 or so. I have no opposition to the higher numbers, but some people will bow out at a certain number. If the number is lower more people will participate, and the people who want to spend more can do that to a certain extent.
Until we have a number of tickets being sold I won't know for sure, but figure around 40 dollars in PayPal fees.

Good point
-
I voted $15 being I could not decide on $10 or $20.

I 2nd this comment.

+3... Also besides encouraging others at the $10.00 Price if there are any remaining tickets they could be sold as a last chance for those who want more than 3...

I think riverrat and FMT hit it on the head.

I voted $10. It took what 70 hrs to sell 40 at that price last time. If you limit number of tickets to 3 each right of the bat it will be sold out faster. Some people may not see it for 24hrs or so maybe say one for the first 3 days then open it up to what ever limit you want. This will give more members a chance to see it.

I think this will be a more desired item than the Unni, 70 tickets will sell out quick, even at one per member. :2cents:
-
I went with 10 also allowing more folks to partake if they choose to and with a max of 3 it also allows those that want to buy more that opportunity.
thanks for doing this again.
-
I voted for $10 as well. If we do not see movement like we did for the pizza oven and can purchase more chances, I would go to 3-4 (total of $40)

sounds good to me
-
10 sound good, there won't be any problem selling out.
-
I think the ticket price of $10 has been established, so I am not pinning this topic anymore.

Can we go with a max of 1 for a week and then up it? I am traveling for the next three weeks for work and don't want to miss the opportunity to buy one ticket.
-
Yes, we will start with one ticket per week

The PB vertical at Walmart is only about $399. That should not pose any problem if the tickets are $10.

You are not including freight to the winner and costs to do the product review and probably some other costs too.

With tax it is $417, shipping is $202 to cover all contingencies, Paypal costs are about $40, and food costs to be factored, so we are easily at $700.

Thanks, Kristin.
I think if folks need to start nickel and diming the process then they shouldn't participate in the raffle if it makes them that uncomfortable. I trust that if we are within $50-$100 back of the napkin math that no one is running off to Bora Bora with profits from these raffles. From what I have read, I think most folks are almost laughing that they can put up $10 and win something $400-$700. And, if they don't win, they can at least get an honest opinion and some facts on whether making an investment at full retail price is the right decision for them.
I can't speak for this as I don't participate in any other BBQ type forums, but I would be surprised if other BBQ forums are doing something similar to this for their community. I can't believe there are many other places where the owners are willing to put in their time to administer such a raffle let alone perform the requests of the community of what they want to see tested.
Thanks for your efforts to make these raffles and product reviews happen, and those who participate and are involved in the effort. I would be interested in hearing from those on the forum if they see something like this in other forums (BBQ or non BBQ) that they participate in. I think this is a very unique experience and it is attributed to those who own and run this forum.

And shipping may not be $200 and that could roll over to the next one. If someone within a 3 to 4 hour drive from us wins, Bentley says he will just get in the truck and deliver it. But we have to price to cover the cost to ship from about as far as we can get in the lower 48 from Culpeper. The shipping costs are the thing that limit the products the most in my mind. Once you get above 150 lbs it is just mind blowing what the costs are.

Seems to me it is the Members making it happen! I don't have to bend over trying to get Manufactures to send stuff and I get to play with it for a week or two.
Yeah Baby!
