It won't work. Well, not unless you want £20 for it!

Seriously!

tbh id pay £20 to enter a raffle for it and im sure loads of others would would probs get a fair bit for it, seriously would you £20r for a chance to win a car which could break for at least a grand not knowing the condition or spec, your best bet would be to take paypal payments by pm and not tell anybody how many people bought a ticket becuse then for all we know you might have only had 10 bids but i rekon loads will buy tickets and theres surely enough people that would have a £20 flutter


i say go for it mate

usually raffle tickets go for a quid a strip, a strip is 5 tickets usually?
you would need to shift 30,000 tickets to make 6 grand... just put the car up for sale.

Thing is though mate it was a fad a few years ago to do it, thing is nobody sold enough to warrent the raffle. If it was 20 a ticket, 50 ticket's for 1k and would you pay 20 for a ticket to possibly win a fucked saph? That could cost shit loads to repair or then have to break it? Or if it's a minter he'd have to shift 250+ plus ticket's to make it worthwhile. Not viable really

yeh you pay a pound along with millions of others let me know when u win, how many pounds have u spent on lotto tickets in comparison to what you won


theres better odds of him selling 100 tickets and me winning for £20 than u playing the lotto

Of course there is, but if he's happy to 'sell' his saph for 2k what state would it be in? As the engine alone if decent sold with loom and ecu can fetch that never mind the other bit's. Food for thought mate that's all

You may aswell throw 20 quid away.

If you could pull it off it would be a fucking great scam though. But thats the reason it won't work.

Not saying your out to try that, but at the end of the day people haven't got a clue who you are. Maybe different if you were a company of some sort.

The only reason was it was costing too much, not only did they have to find a car they were carting it around the country to local events, along with insurance and all the other costs they never bother.

Their was a discussion regarding it after the last one.

As it happens noddy from our group owns the black Sapphire raffle car

I wouldn't consider buying a ticket as you could easily be an internet scammer and knob off with what ever cash you got................
