[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3938289, member: 24583"] Ham radio club I belong to raffled firearms the two years before Covid. First was a decent AR-15, second year was a Henry lever Golden Boy 22. Both were very successful. We made a deal with a local gun shop and when sales equaled actual cost plus tax, that $ was given to him for holding the firearm and we actually raffled off a certificate for the winner to go to that shop and he would act as the FFL to do the legal transfer. We printed flyers of what our fundraiser was for and details of what we were raffling off, where and when and even if you do not buy tickets, come to our chili cookoff and sold tickets at 2/$10 5/$20. Initially we had some people balk at the low prices, but we made a huge profit on both with a small percentage that would have never bought any tickets if the pricing was higher at $20 or $40 each, but being so "inexpensive" it was hard to pass up for at a 2/$10 chance. Then we sold a lot more $20s and $40s and more because they were "getting a deal" with an extra tickets at 5/$20 or 10/$40. $100 guys are going to be $100 guys no mater what. We tried to make sure everyone was covered and happy. Our sales were over about a 3 month period combined with a big deal chili cookoff fundraiser where we had the drawing which was a fun money maker also. Even most people on a tight budget who had bought only a few tickets earlier could afford to bring their kids or whoever and come to the chili cook off and attend the Saturday 1PM drawing also. We did not have to have any $ up front. The FFL shop was open till 5PM after the Saturday 1PM drawing for pick up. If the winner was present at the Chili Cookoff, he could take the certificate down the street and do the paperwork to take home that day, or if not present he could pick up the certificate and firearm at the gun shop with proper ID at his leasure. Good luck to you and your event. [/QUOTE]
