UPDATE! Raffle tickets are sold out however I'm at the real job today so I have no way of FTPing up a new page without a purchase option. Please do not buy any more raffle tickets - we're now oversold. UGH!!!! :rolleyes: :2: :6: :p :-[


UGH! ?Life is to freakin' complicated. ?Maybe it was the Oxycotin when I was doing the math or maybe my head was wrapped around Wild West too much but the Summer Raffle II is UNDERSOLD.

The bad news then is folks who have been waiting for the drawing - well I need to close out the ticket sales. ?The good news for those who haven't entered you've got a second chance. ?We're undersold by a wide margin (51 tickets). ?I don't know how it happened but I just got back from the powers that be and when we went to do the drawing well we were short 53 entries.

So flog the Chief. ?The raffle page will change shortly - there are officially 53 tickets remaining on the raffle. ?My deepest apologies to all. ?Ugh - this is getting hard - to those who are waiting please wait a little longer, for those who didn't sign up yet - you've got a second chance on some GREAT prizes!
 
I guess this means I have to go to work tomorrow. If I had won the lottery tonight (I didn't), I was gonna quit tomorrow and go on a cross-country camping trip in my newly won tent. See, Chief, you aren't the only one having a bad day!

Seriously, don't let 'em beat you up too bad, you deserve a raise anyway!

HAIL TO THE CHIEF, FOR THE GREAT WEBSITE!
 
Chief ?Just purchased a few tickets

Instead of everyone arguing about hair...... put your money wher yoru mouth is >:D

Not often you get a second chance (and an opportunity to get one post closer to losing newbie status ;D). How can I pass that up? 1 more ticket gone.....

Thats very strange. The last day everyone was buying tickets and the counter kept saying 9 tickets left. I bet you sold 50 tickets the last day with everyone trying to decrement the counter to zero. I bought during the last day blitz. Is it possible those got lost?
 
In support of this wonderful club and in the hopes of winning something, I have made my contribution by buying 10 tickets.

Well Chief, tried to buy a couple more and the system just sits on a blank screen after I enter my Paypal password. ?I better go to work now ?or I won't be able to make the house payment (No worries about The Av payment ?;))

(Later) ?Aah, did a resend ofthe page and it went through. ?You can send me the tent now. Don't send it to WVBubba >:D

I am beginning to think that it is hard coded and Chief has to manually change the number after he counts the sales for the day...
 
Just got another ticket that makes my total 5
 
The counter number is hard coded and it is an intense manual process to track sales. PayPal gives me no ability to count down sales. UGH!
 
OK, I bought a couple of tickets.
Just hold my prizes for me and I'll come to the coast to pick them up. Got some smokes for Steel anyway.
 
The counter said 10 left so I bought 10. Who knows how many were really left but we should be oversold now. Let the fun begin....
 
Great news, Chief! Guess that means the third ticket I bot during the last "crazed day of the Big Red 9" was successful. Hey, this gives some newbies a chance to get in........

:)

That's what it said when I bought mine..........what happens if we are OVERSOLD???
 
Got mine, I don't think anyone would mind if the tickets were oversold, may decrease our chances a little but more money for the club ;D
 
We've gotta be oversold at this point, especially after my five.

So what happens to the extra tickets? Could be:
1) more than 500 tickets are entered in the raffle
2) purchase price for excess tickets are refunded
3) excess tickets become cash sontribution to the club

Any other possiblities that I missed?

Personally, I'm comfortable with any option other than #1, the 500 tix should be a hard limit. But that's just one person's opinion, I have nothing to do with the raffle. (other than I want a tent!)

Hey Chas, the second tent must be yours! Maybe we can meet up somewhere around middle ground and deliver it!
