j_jza80 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi, not wanting to be a stick in the mud, but how are you going to demonstrate that this raffle is legitimate? I'd want to see some evidence before I parted with £50 of my money. No offence, but there are lots of scams around like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I dont know? Would they mind? The car costs him over 20k, are you suggesting hes trying to make money? That's very expensive for what it is mate. You never get back anywhere near the money you spend on modifying cars. I don't think he's trying to make money, but that price isn't representative.

The owner of this car will have paid 50 euro for it, I dont see what your problem is Hey calm down, I spent more than double that on my single and sold it for less than £15K, you never get your money back Its a good idea I just think you could have asked the mods first then put up a decent add with full explination of how it works, who will draw the raffle ticket for example to ensure its a fair draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, like I said I have to call over to him tmrw to get better pics and talk about it properly, this is just to get names to see if its worth while doing!! The car is real, the owner is bang on, maybe a live stream of the raffle can be sorted for people who cant make the trip etc etc EDIT: Ehhh just saw u edited ur post from "Problem" to "scam", this isnt a scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said there is no scam here at all, its a very very genuine clean TT supra going to a new owner for 50 euro (43 stg), thats all..I just told u once so i dont know why im repeating myself but he isnt lookin for his money back, hes losing thousands on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 You need to comply with all sorts of regulations before you can launch a 'raffle' online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Loads of folks have tried to do this over the years but it always boils down to the fact that folks won't put a sum like £50 or even £10 into a lottery where they have no way of knowing whether the draw will be fair. Folks don't know if the raffle organizer might engineer things so that his best mate wins. How would get around this? If you can't it's going to be a non-starter.

Supradoopa Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Why don't you take it down to Suprapod and get one of the mod's to raffle it off there? Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 We used to do loads of raffles for the cars we fixed on our camp motor club and they way we did it was "sold" a number 1 to 49 and used the bonus ball on the national lottery to pick the winner. That way it was out of the "owners" hands and evryone would know the results straight away and know it was genuine Only problem is you need to sell all numbers.

Pudsey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 We had someting very simliar run in Plymouth City Centre once by an event company offereing a SLK as a prize for a £5.00 ticket. They never sold enough tickets and I believe it was country wide too, and they pulled the plug pocketing the cash as I remember too! Was quiet a big who ha about it at the time, what will you do if you take peoples money and then dont actually achieve what you were looking for money wise Just thought its an angle nobody has thought of yet, and one you may want to bare in mind too!

Tones Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah i know its not that straight forward as people wanna see things right in front of them first, il talk with him tmrw and we'l take it from there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Unless you have a gambling license you can only sell the raffle tickets to a private group, not the general public. As your friend isn't even a member here our club members would be classed as general public, so no gambling license, no raffle. That said, the only raffling off of cars I would be prepared to have advertised on the forum are cars being raffled by the club. I've nearly done that a few times now but even when we know the car is good and it isn't a scam there are still too many potential headaches involved hence we haven't done it yet. One day though.....
