NJ, PA, NY, MD meeting 5/1/10

[angry gary]

okay, i am kinda confused. if you want a shot at something you put a ticket in it appropriate basket. does each ticket have a set monetary value? or is it like you pay $20 for 5 tickets and put them in any basket you want?
help me out here!

i am looking forward to the get together and i wish i had something to donate.

Im clueless myself..ive never heard of a chinese raffle.

[Jason DeSantis]

You buy a set number, so lets say 10 tickets for $5. Then you place your tickets in what you want to win. If your number is chosen the you win that item. Its like a raffle the only difference is you get to choose which items to win.

So if I buy 10 tickets, could I put them all in one box if thats the item I want?

The chinese auctions are fun. You can only win the item you put tickets towards. Example: Lets say I put up a pair of bastis and a brom. Then you guys come and buy tickets. Lets say the tickets are 10 for $5. So with those tickets you can choose to put all of them in the basket in front of the bastis or the brom. You can put 100 tickets in if you really wanted that item. There is no limit to how many tickets you can put in per item. So when the auction is over, I will take the basket for the bastis and pick a number. If you have that number you just won the bastis. The same would go for the brom. I hope this is a little more clear.

Yes, you can put as many in as you want. Lets say 20 items get donated and you buy 10 tickets. You can put a ticket in 10 baskets or all in one basket. So if you really want something you should put more tickets in that basket so you have a better chance at winning it.

You guys like poker...im more of a blackjack guy something quick.

[DCreptiles]

black jack is fun when you play agenst the house... poker is more of a game where you can win big lose big especially no limit.

this chinese raffle thing sounds really good and i think its going to be a big hit.. with so many different people comming to donate and really help out.. this meet is starting to sound very promising. i also think the people donating should get some type of reward for being such dedicated froggers. its not every day people give up some of their stuff for the greater food of the hobby. i dont have much to donate but i think i am gonna get some tickets for sure... are you going to have options on purchasing tickets like single tickets and also like a book of 5,10,20 ect...
