Not sure what is going on, but I did see Val’s post for the dd quilt on my phone.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I believe you get more from a raffle, especially just one item. You know after maybe $100 I am out of the running on an auction items, so when it is a raffle, at least I have some hopes that I stand a chance! <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And I would be more than happy to have it up on the Bounders FB page, Senior Houndsabound does not desire any cut of the proceeds, but we are happy to help if it works out best for exposure.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I also have a theory on raffle ticket prices. Keep them at $1. Whether you sell 10-$1 tickets or 1-$10 ticket, it is the same as far as tickets go. It is the same percentage of winning, BUT, the perception of the person buying the tickets is very different. You look at it like, wow, I have 10 chances to win, vs 1.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Personally I will not buy a ticket for over $5 and I really have to want an item to buy a $5 raffle ticket. Not that I am cheap, but it is the perception that I have more chances to win. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Not sure if that makes sense, but I see some raffles at times doing $10 tickets cause the person donating the item puts that restriction. I always feel like they could do better, and it does NOT reduce the value of the item, to have lower ticket prices. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now, that is just my 2 cents……..not $10 worth! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Have a great hound day!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:houndsabound@cfl.rr.com">houndsabound@cfl.rr.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
