Who's Up for A Silver/Gold Raffle?

avatar

It's been a while since we've done a silver/gold raffle. I asked a few people in the #silvergoldstackers and #thealliance Discords and people seem to like the idea. This isn't something the SGS community is doing, but rather a raffle I'm running myself.

Before I just jump into it I want to get feedback from everyone on what they'd like to see in it, so that way it's fun for everyone and something they look forward to. My thought is to run the raffle for a month so everyone has plenty of chances to enter.

Prizes
I wanted to do a mix of prizes. I'm asking for input here, because if I pick a bunch of stuff nobody wants, then nobody cares, right? I had some ideas:

  • Junk silver (Quarters, dimes, half dollars, etc.)
  • Morgan dollar
  • Goldback
  • Limited mintage rounds/coins

I'm not sure if there should be a tier system where higher numbers of entries adds more prizes to the pool. I'd definitely like feedback on this from everyone.

Shipping
My plan here is to pay the shipping. Yes, this includes international shipping. The only thing I can't account for is any fees charged by customs. Hopefully, since it'd likely be just one or two small pieces, there shouldn't be any or they should be minimal.

Ticket Cost
I'm thinking to keep it simple, it should be 4 HIVE per ticket, same as it's been done in the past when run for the community. If you think differently, certainly let me know in the comments.

What's in It for Me?
All of these pieces would be coming from my personal stack. I plan to power up all of the HIVE that comes from these ticket sales. Sure, I could sell pieces and use the cash to buy HIVE, but where's the fun in that?

Forgive me ahead of time, but I'm going to tag previous people who've entered prior raffles and might be interested. If you're not interested, please let me know in the comments and I'll remove your name from the list.

If you think I missed someone, please don't hesitate to tag them in the comments so they see this.

!LOL well it hasn't started yet!

Did you want me to send you the HIVE back for now or just hold onto it and count it as 10 tickets when it goes live?

It's an interesting idea!
About the customs and shipping, if relevant: you can state that it is a gift with no value. And Deutsche Post is pretty cheap on international shipping. Last I saw there wasn't any detailed tracking on it though, but that's like 6 years ago.

Sounds good!

The 1oz would likely be a coin. Morgan Dollars are only about 0.77 ounces of silver.

I haven't owned any precious metal before so it'd be a great opportunity.
Regarding the shipping, I'm in Nigeria...

I don't think that would be an issue. I've shipped to multiple countries before. 🙂
