I tried one raffle, and it didn't even get one person entering it within 24 hours, so I pulled it. So I guess I should be against the raffles with that attitude? Raffling is just another marketing technique to sell cues - if it works- GREAT, if it doesn't, that is OK too. People need to stop whining and find a way to better market their cues, cases, and billiard equipment in order to compete. Don't HATE - COMPETE!!!! It is a DOG EAT DOG world out there - whining never got anybody anywhere, except for on page 2.
I see you didn't want to answer the second part of my post. Why not?
So your $$ donation makes you a better member than me on the boards? Great opinion, but it is just that. THAT makes you the EXPERT on what should be in the Wanted/For Sale forum, when I see ONLY ONE I-trader by your name. Seniority and $$ does not insure the better opinionated person - just lets me know you have more disposable income, and found the site before I did. GOOD JOB!!
Maybe YOU need to find your true section of the forum - NPR or the Main Forum - since I haven't seen you sell anything.
And to question your other point - I believe I am one of the many well respected members on this forum who legitimately sells, buys, and trades wares, and I would rather you not speak for me - I have my own voice and can speak for myself. And I would also believe that many of the other well respected members on AZB can also, so I am just wondering why you have so much free time on your hands to just complain? Take some of that energy and sell something, because that is the only way to kill the raffles on the FOR SALE FORUM.
WHINING just continues to fuel their fire - AND KICK LEGITIMATE SALES(your term) off the front page.
