Ok, My friend has been reading the various successful threads that are raffling cues so he wanted me to try this with his SugarTree. Folk, here's your chance to win a wrapless ebony forearm with hawian Curly Kao. We need 15 individuals that are willing to put up $65.00 each. ($1000.00 for this Rare Ebony SugarTree). Same structure as the other two raffles currently going on. The raffle will not start until all 15 participants are confirmed and money collected.

Participant List:

1) WeeSeng
2) Gluton1
3) Soldtonight
4) (Available Again)
5) Subsoni2U
6) Chaozzzsg
7)
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)
13)
14)
15)


It seem using the MegaBall is a good idea so let this raffle begin? Who wants to be first on the list?

Here's the spec on the SugarTree:

The Ebony Sugar Tree is 19.03 oz, butt alone is 14.8oz. The tip is about 13mm. There is a finish dent on the handle just above his signature..other than that the cue is in very good condition and straight together and apart. The cue does have a small finish chip just about Eric's signature per the pics.

Here are the addition pics:

Pics and spec are posted!!! Also folk, if the someone offer his the right price for the cue and raffle doesn't materialize that he want to have the option to sell it outright. This cue was sold by me to Simon Lau, so I will buy 1 ticket myself. Heck, for $50.00 I can't go wrong. Who's next? I will relinguish my spot if we have more than 19 that wants to be on this raffle. But if no one object, I will be happy to take a spot.

Regards,
Duc.

Any way to get it repaired/refinished and keep the signature intact? If so I'm in Duc. Good Luck.
 
Eric is a busy bee and if the cue is to be refinish we probably looking at about 1 year wait. We'll leave it to the winner to decide if they want the cue to be refinish. Thanks,

GoodLuck.
 
OK Folk, I've received several PM already about timeline, so if we don't get 20 people by this upcoming Friday, the raffle will be off. Personally, I don't like the raffle idea and advise Simon just to sell it direct. But he convinced me that not many are willing to shell the 1K so the raffle idea is good for him. Can't really argue that especially with the soft market. Anyway, we'll see how this goes.
 
I think an alternative would be to add or or multiply all the numbers including the mega whatever, and then do MOD arithmetic, which gives you the remainder value. That value will determine the winner.

I missed the part where the guy running the raffle has a spot in the drawing. Better count me out. Not saying anything about you personally Duc, just don't like the implications.
 
Hey Guys,

But if no one object, I will be happy to take a spot.

I'll removed myself from the raffle as I see that there are some objection, just wanted to get the raffle started. The cue is not mine and is own by Simon Lau. I'm doing the raffle on his behalf and I mentioned that I would remove myself once we able to get 20 plus.

Either way, I understand how some would not like the idea but I figure I have the same odd of winning as everyone else but in any case I excluded myself.

On another note, we still need to confirm the process for identify the winner. I like the fact that we can still use the mega number with a little alteration to the calculation but are there any other ideas? I'm open to suggestion.

I've just update other that would like to join. Oh, by the way, Only one ticket per Azer... I don't like the fact that someone can buy half the field and get better odd. Of course they are paying for it but still think it's not fair to the guys that can only afford 1 ticket. So, only 1 ticket per person.

Regards,
Duc.

That will get me, Duc. I'm in. Let me know when to Paypal the cheese.
 
HangemHigh is in. Also, no money will be collected until we have 20 players confirmed. 16 spots left guys!!

Regards,
Duc.
 
Ok Guys, Got some PM saying that I should change the raffle to only 15 spots so that we can use the Mega Ball? So this mean that each spot will now be $66.66 so $65.00 each now. Let me know if this is better for you guys!!

It seem to be an easy solution if the existing 4 agrees?

Regards.
Duc.

I would have thought this would fly. Is this idea (the Raffle) something that is looked down upon? I have not seen many Raffles on this forum...
