Car Raffle

**CornFed2.4** · 09-13-2006

I was wondering if it was legal to raffle off a car that I own. If it isn't I would have the drawing next year at the cookout. Some of you may know that my car is forsale in this forum and my asking price is $12500. So if I held a raffle I would need about 2500 people to buy tickets @ $5 a pop. I think it would give alot of people a chance to win a great almost stock car for a cheap price. Just think about this $5 for $12500 Id gamble at that. LMK what you guys think or if Im just an Idiot.

Sounds like a sweet deal actually.
It just depends if you'll get 2500 tickets sold. $10 a piece = 1250 needed to meet your price. Plus profit if you go over 1250.

hell i got a car and id buy a ticket for sure

Id probably buy a ticket for shits and giggles. Plus you could put it on like ebay and say that you are buying one ticket for a raffle for this car and have a BIN price at $10 or $5 or whatever. Im sure a bunch of people would be interested.

Nothing illegal about that.

**CornFed2.4** · 09-13-2006

I didnt even think about Ebay but Id rather keep it local

Elementality158 · 09-13-2006

I would buy one.

I think it would work but you may have a hard time selling all 2500 locally. You could put like 10 tickets on ebay in 1 auction and probably get more than $10 apiece.

Damn, I'd buy a whole grip, like 20 tickets or so! Up my luck! I think it's a cool idea if it does go through!

twack · 09-14-2006

I've seen this done before.
1 time i think they made bank and 1 time they didn't right the rules correct and lost their ass.

I've looked into this before actually and to hold a raffle that holds up it's specifics in the state of MN there are some guidelines you have to follow. And I think you have to file the end result and there are some fee's associated with that.

While you could always pass all this stuff up, I don't think any of the fees where that much and it woudl probably be worth it to cover your ass. If I still have some links at home I will see if I can find them

This sounds like a cool idea. If you plan to go the ebay route, or if you just wanted to be AWESOME, I would like to buy a few. I understnad why you would want to keep it local though.

I would buy a few raflles for sure, just to test my luck and. It wont hurt all that much to spend $20 on trying to win a $12k car

I would DEFINATLY buy a couple tickets. for sure. Thats a really hard deal to pass up. hell i would fly to mn and drive it home and it would still be worth it.

**CornFed2.4** · 09-14-2006

Thanks I have a guy coming to look at it next week and Im going to talk to DSMstyle the mod on here more about this more thanks alot hope it happens

Super Bleeder!! · 09-14-2006

wow, that is a great idea.

Thor06 · 09-14-2006

Fuck yeah, I would buy a ticket or two.... or ten. I would say stay away from the eBay deal, I cant imagine anyone but us would bid on them anyway. I would put it out there one MNSC and all the other local forums and shit. You gotta be sure theres no foul play invovled or you could find yourself in a mess of trouble.

**CornFed2.4** · 09-14-2006

I would have someone trusted within the DSM world like Curt Genrod I think thats his last name do the actual drawing
