Bonus Ball Raffles

(1/4) > >>

Gnarlyscoots:
Is this the way these days to sell your BMX items?

Ask a set price per person, times it by 59, leaving you with, what seems to be more than you would have got for it by placing it up for sale, and everyone is happy, right?

Although I see a lot of people asking, for what I feel, is a lot more than what the item is worth, it seems to work, doesn't it?

What are your thoughts, if any  ???

Agreed. Unfortunately, for the right items, there will be people queueing up to get a 'bargain', then probably selling it on.

I raffled my Dyno Compe, the baby blue one. £10 a go, 49 numbers, £490 back.

I donated £100 to the Macmillan Nurses, so it meant I got £390, about £60 or £70 less than it cost to build.

Hardly greedy.

There's a few sides to it.

It's hard shifting a complete but at 1/59 th of the price people will have a go

The actual winner gets a bargain.

I can see why sellers do it and why others buy the tickets

So people that are against it never take part in phone in to vote etc game shows and the like as they make profit off that.
