Lets give this a try. Who wants to participate in a raffle for a poker table? The results of this interest thread will dictate the actual raffle.
3 main choices jump to mind:
1) A cheap ticket for a basic table. A basic 8 player table with a custom cloth is $800 CAD or $600 USD + shipping. Tickets can sell for $20 USD which would need 30 tickets to be sold, or $40-50 only needing 12-15 tickets sold.
2) A medium priced ticket for a table that's valued up to $2000, same principle applies. Cheaper tickets needs more sold.
3) A high end custom table for $4000 which needs a lot of interest from people who are willing to spend $100-200 on a ticket and still need 20-40 tickets sold.
The winner can opt to use the value as a credit towards a table of greater value and would be responsible for any shipping costs if it's over the value of the table they choose. ie. If they want to go with the 10 player basic table but win the option 1) raffle, they can pay the $75 difference plus shipping.
Or, if they actually want to buy a more expensive custom table but the raffle is for the $600 option, they can use it as credit towards their purchase.
For example if we do a $50/ticket raffle for the $2k option, you can design a table that's $1800 which allows another $200 for the shipping. If the final cost is $2050, then the winner pays an extra $50.
For this raffle, I will offer 5% off the sticker price of the custom build. The values are in USD which gets you a lot because my website prices are in CAD. www.chanmanpokertables.com/pricing.
Approx conversion rates you can use:
$1 CAD = $0.74 USD
$1 USD = $1.34 CAD
Actual conversion rate used will be the rate of the day the raffle ends.
Shipping a basic table within Canada or to the USA to a business address is around $150 or to a residence around $250. Custom tables cost more to ship since they usually have bulkier legs and weigh more.
