Coming from anyonoe else I'd have said right out that the $20 raffle thing was a scam. I know that since you're involved it isn't. But you gotta admit that it's pretty out of the ordinary ,and you're trading a lot on your good rep with the community to do it. If JR, Sev or Aly win it out of sheer luck, you'll see 10,000 new hits on Google for the word "fixed". ;-)
Well just everybody knows no body at gtg can win,I have the sytem and i control the oney,i will make sure it is an honest win,this might just come back to bite me in the ass,and i am cool with that,I just know that hasbro never did anything like this for us,i really dont see anybody out there looking for ways to give back,most buisness only look to gain,not so here,i want to make a enough money to cover my costs and keep it running smooth,I have another buisness that keeps me really busy already.Thank you very much for the respect in this post.
At this moment i have been working my tail off to make some great changes to the store,but time is against me,one of my biggest concerns is that the toy hobby is in its last years,maybe 10,I am really hoping its not but i plan to do what ever i can to help fight the death of our hobby.Each year more drop off and more collections go on ebay...not me everything i collect is staying with me,what my kids do after i go,well cant have any control when you are about 6 feet under,can you?
thanks for the reply and the respect,makes me feel a hell of alot better.I have had some people take part in the raffle,and i really thought more would,I am going to limit it so its the first 100 people only,what comes in thats is above the cost will go to a charity of some sort,or back into another prize for another giveaway,I dont want anything over the cost of the PS3,i know in my area,these are selling like hot cakes,and thats why i picked one up,also made the option to do the cash value instead in case somebody didnt want the PS3,i mean cash is never bad.
thanks guys
