Sequoia Raffle[ 15 votes ]
1. Yes 8 / 53%
2. No 3 / 20%
3. Yes, but not at that price 1 / 7%
4. No, dumb idea 3 / 20%

We are having difficulty selling our GMC, whether it be by weather here in Oregon, the economy, or such a niche rv, or all of the above. So we thought of a creative solution, and see if it's to far outside the box.

We want to hold a raffle that is capped at 500 entries. $25 per ticket, and the winning ticket owns the 73 GMC Sequoia,we could open up the raffle to more people if the demand was high enough and either lower the ticket price, or have the extra entries cover shipping costs. Any thoughts?

What happens if you don't sell 500 tickets?
Let's say you sell 200 tickets, what do you do?
Also, I think you are asking the wrong people. Not many of us here want another GMC at any cost.

You probably should post this to the GMCnet. The email users don't see the swap meet. JAT
