Ed my check in the mail for 2 tickets.

Thanks Richie Shavel

lugerholsterrepair · 09-26-2007, 12:29 PM

Ron, Don, Richie..And all of the ticket holders listed above! Many thanks my Friends! I hope you guys win something you want but no matter what, you have done a great thing...I know money is a little tight for most of us and giving it away is a selfless act. It is truely appreciated by all of us.
I don't give to too many charities because they use most of the money to beg for more. This is one that will use almost all of the money for it's intended purpose. Only costs are those Ed points out above.
Thanks fellows...Jerry Burney

Here is what Jerry has donated;

Hi, This is just a thought. I for one will be willing to reinburse shipping if I win any thing and also I will send the extra money to cominsate what paypal deducted on my 2 tickets. Doug

wlyon · 09-26-2007, 01:42 PM

Ed More than willing to pay shipping on anything I might win. Why not just state winners will pay actual shipping costs. We need to maximize the earnings. Bill

Steinar · 09-26-2007, 02:56 PM

I agree on the above, as much as possible should go to the cause. Just 100 bucks extra would make a difference for the orphanage..

(Since my package will be sendt directly to the winner, and therefore no loss for the cause, shipping will be covered by yours truly on that perticular one)

If the decision will be that winner pays, perhaps it would be more fun with many prizes?

lugerholsterrepair · 09-26-2007, 03:08 PM

Steinar, Yes, I will ship my Navy holster directly as well and cover shipping myself.
Ed is the Boss on this one so it will be up to him to consider any police. Thanks for the suggestions.
One thing to consider..it could be difficult to keep track of the winner paying for reciept of his prize. They would have to recieve it and reimburse Ed if he sent it or ? Sounds confusuing.

I think that the time to the auction is too short if you want to maximize the amount of money received.

It takes time for the word to spread.

lugerholsterrepair · 09-26-2007, 03:53 PM

Charlie, I am sure you are correct. We just do not have the time to linger. Ed is leaving for home and I am leaving for Yuma Arizona for the Winter. Maybe a bad choice on my part to have the Raffle now but I got carried away and didn't think it thru ...Jerry Burney

wlyon · 09-26-2007, 04:49 PM

After being involved in several raffles for our local civic club we have found a short time frame to be best. If it is a long time people tend to put it off and/or forget about it altogether. If short we seem to feel the immediate need to do something. We all procrastinate. Just my thought. Bill

Edward Tinker · 09-26-2007, 05:46 PM

I don't want to deal with secondary postal amounts; it simply is too much work for me right now. I'd have to send an email to someone, look up their postal, get a response, then await on shipping or have them send and hope they don't send it here to PA, because I am moving on the 17th of October. I don't have time, patience or time for it.

I apprecaite the cost savings / money, but need to keep this as simple as possible.

BogeyB · 09-26-2007, 08:51 PM

Ed,

Money sent via PayPal. I'm sending you two oversized toggle pins, 0.05 and 0.1mm. Good luck to all!

Mike

MFC · 09-26-2007, 11:04 PM

Ed,
Add a new Repro. WWII Brown Luger Holster to the prize list. I'll ship to the winner at my cost.
Mike C.

Edward Tinker · 09-27-2007, 07:49 AM

Thanks Mike. If folks are going to ship something to a winner, send me an email, or I won't be able to keep track. Because right now I have had 3 folks say they are giving / shipping repro holsters and if I'm not shipping, its going to get confusing keeping track of PM's, and messages here on the board...

Gary, received raffle ticket money and holster
