I want to say "I know this saw" but not sure, time will tell.

The P100 is a saw that is on my "list" of gotta have saws.

yes you do

Maybe it should auction instead of raffle.

They just bring more at the raffles, but saws don't always go to known members.

 

[Work Saw Collector]

This last raffle brought more than I thought it would.

 

[Work Saw Collector]

yes you do

Cool so both the raffle saws were in Iowa last year.

If I wanted a particular saw I would pay a lot more for it than I would for a chance at something I don't expect to win.

True but the 12000 the raffle brought no one would ever bid on a P100 or P62.

That included 10+ items, plus a lot of money just donated to a good cause (look at how many winners declined their prizes).

I think that a raffle is still a good idea, but maybe separate raffles or auctions for truly unique items.

I found the mixed raffle/auction to be confusing.

I'm not running this one, just adding to the conversation. I think the guys seeing first and second place being big desirable saws (and just helping Terry's family) the raffle will do well.

 

[Mastermind]

This one will have four saws or so, some bars, chains, file guides, etc.

To just auction the items would never amount to what we generated with a raffle.

 

[Mastermind]

Thanks for the ideas Stephen. Believe me, I consider any and all of them.

The guys that pass are just that, passed over. The next guy gets to choose.

So "passing to the next round" goes to the next winner in line or to the raffle #2?

That would work for one caliber of people, but not everyone can afford to throw down $500 for a saw. However, I believe that many people can afford to come up with $10-50 to purchase some tickets for a chance so there is minimal impact one ones monthly budget.

We drew some alternates just for this reason. We knew some guys would pass. So we just go down the list until everyone that was drawn has had a chance to pick, or pass. When we've done that, anything that wasn't picked will be rolled over into the next raffle, or possibly auctioned off.

My bad Randy! I did not mean to post that. I was going to post it but opted not to because I did not want it to sound snarky. It must have saved it as a draft and then double posedt when I responded to Philbert.

Here's a teaser......



Yeah, that's going in the next raffle.

I built that saw from all NOS parts. The only thing used was the case. If I remember correctly, I ported it also. If I knew where the search function was, I'd bring up the build thread on it.

 

[Mastermind]

No worries, it needed to be explained.
