$1 dollar for a chance at a Bushka

but as a single person i dont see the problem if you buy a chance for a resonable amount to get a good chance at a grerat cue? just forget the end money the seller gets! BOTTOME LINE IS THE INITAL INVESTMENT!

HELL IF IT WAS A 1-15 CHANCE FOR 10 DOLLARS AT A 150.00 DOLLAR CUE IT WOULD JUST BE A AUCTION!
 
This is where we disagree!!

I am glad you agree, now tell me if you think the SW deal is a good one that makes it okay. Who will decide which are rippoffs and which are not. I personally dont care either way. Just get them off here and if anyone wants to look through 20 to 30 or whatever ......they have someplace to go look

WHO WILL DECIDE? Well, if the raffle fills up, and goes off, then I would say that anywhere from 19 - 42 people thought it was a good deal. Forum police are not needed - we have MODS for that. And commenting on the validity of a raffle price in open forum is as bad as commenting openly about somebody's price on a cue - IT IS IN POOR TASTE - and doesn't make either person (the seller or the commentator) look good. If something sells, then it must have been good for both the seller and the buyer - SOMETHING IS ONLY WORTH WHAT THE BUYER WILL PAY, AND THE SELLER WILL SELL IT FOR - PERIOD!!!!

And once again, the raffles are just another selling technique, that some people - both rafflers and entrants in the raffle - seem to be happy about. Sorry to see so many unhappy about it .

Its A Great Idea Regardless If The Seller Gets More Than Market Value Forthe Cue!!! Heck Of A Idea!

A'int what I got.. I see plenty of cues around for 750.00 But since your asking...

George Weston has an olivewood 4 point cue for 750 that is nice... I think Mark will take that or less for that McDermott tourney cue lol..

most of the raffles i have seen seem to add a few dollars to the price of the cue.say the cue was for sale at $600 on AZ in the wanted/for sale section.then next week it gets raffled off,but instead of 12 $50 tickets,the guy is selling 13.it isn't a big deal,but it has been the main reason i haven't entered one,principle.


also you have to consider that $550 cash most likely would have bought the cue and now you are effectively paying $650.


most of the prices are very competetive on these auctions,but there always seems to be a little cushion built in there to me,unless my math has been wrong.on principle alone i have not enetered any of theses auctions even though i wanted to.

then some of the auctions are obviously out of line with regard to price,but more power to them if they can sell it.i have no problem with any of the auctions and whatever they want to ask for the tickets is fine ny me,but i do see where some people are coming from with their complaints as long as they do it in their own thread.
 
If The Odds Are Fair And The Investment Is The Same What The Heck!!! Thats The Bottom Line, Its Only Money! Right!!! I Love Goin To Benefit Auctions I Really Dont Pay Atention To The Value Just The Odds And What I Invest!

Again!!!!! For Your Investment Of Xxx Of Doallars You Get A Fair Chance Of Gettin A Hogher End Cue! Bottom Line !!! Only Ones Whining Are The Ones That Sold There Cues For Nothin Becasue The Market Is Off!!!! Get A Grip!!! Its Fun!!!!
 
Its like buying a lottery ticket, you probably wont win and according to the probabilities and such, youre gonna lose more money than you win. The same is true for going to a casino, but people still do it because theres the chance that you win something for much less than its worth, even though on the whole, most people will lose their money. So let everyone gamble away.
 
man

I am sure glad this is the 1st and last cue I raffle.What is
so bad about it ? Theses knuckle heads keep saying its bad
blah blah blah .I have played in 3 of them and did not win
(I wanted that damn Varney j/b) Its turning into a battle
on here .I am raffling my cue for less than what its worth
and even a little less than what I paid .I just dont use it
and tried to sell it , got alot of tire kickers and thought
hey this will make someone out of 19 real happy for a $35
chance
