RAFFLE: AdirondackStihl Surgery Fund. Raffle ends on Monday, April 2, 2018.

[Troylee]

Not that there’s much value in them to most of you, but I can donate a dozen hand tied trout flies tied by myself??
I take pride in tying them and was recently asked to become a Pro Staff member for one of the largest and oldest fly tying material suppliers in the U.S.
That being said.....you won’t be getting junk flies. And I’ll even go as far as to make them to suit your fishing style OR take any request at a custom pattern of your choice as long as you have a picture or recipe for said pattern and as long as I have the proper materials.

A few examples:View attachment 111145View attachment 111146View attachment 111147View attachment 111148View attachment 111149

I turned the offer down. There isn’t any real $ in the deal....only materials. If I were single with no children, I’d moonlight it. I just don’t have the time to sit down and make tying videos and editing....yada yada

Definitely one of the most valuable donations, exceeds grand prize quality. I live in a trout fishing dependant area, I know what quality hand tied pieces like that are going for.
Very, very nice, probably would be one of my first choices, I would just be afraid to use em
The fish in the link was caught on probably the simplest rooster tail about 15 min from my house. Imagine if you/I had tackle like that...

Or possibly cherry pick a couple of the items to be separated for auction

.......if anymore saws or big ticket items get added, maybe we should action them off ?????
Asking for opinions.

If you decide to offer some of items via auction:
1) Keep them separate from the raffle: the auction winner is already receiving something for their money.
2) Decide early, so that people who expect a chance to win a specific item don't feel deceived.

IMHO

I agree, I was on the receiving end of this in another raffle. Shoot, I almost felt bad

 

[GCJenks204]

24 hours

29 prize donations value above $7500 including 7 saws.

Have we ever had a raffle with 7 saws in it?

Joe have you cross posted to FHC or AS yet?

I'd like to see it run until at least Mid March. Need a couple more cheques to get in again and again...

I only suggested the auction format because I am more familiar with that, we do a lot of charity auction events for the school athletics depts. (I should say my wife doe's)
I just know that auctions can generate high numbers, my wife and several other known entity's can regularly get in excess of $100 for a pie and are selling multiple units at that rate and a pile of $20 stuff also. An auction gives the high rollers a chance to strech their legs. And the poor people like myself the opportunity to focus our attention on the items that would actually benefit and take some of the element of chance out of it. But by no means is the raffle not beneficial, I just believe that at some point even the best intentions and generosity reach a point of diminishing returns. But again I see life in a somewhat skewed manner, so best to ignore anyway...
I will consider your suggestion of an independent but inclusive auction, just prob. wrong time for me to raise this discussion with raffle in progress, so remind me later(about discussion not auction) I've already forgotten what we were talking about anyway... Oh yeah, not rocking the boat!

@Onan18, can you add this to my donation? I have a box of 044/440 parts that, along with the spikes, could be a good start for building an 044/440.

Included in the Box of 044/440:
12mm Stihl cylinder, It has a scratch that can be felt, but the saw ran great and had good power, aftermarket piston, oem piston wrist pin, oem bearing (I think) c clips, AV bushings, some rubber pieces, nice after market 440 tank, oem bearing spacer, oem handle, good running Hong Kong Zama carb, muffler base, oem badges, oem brake flag. See pictures if I missed anything. It’s obviously not a complete saw.

If you have a case, recoil, coil, flywheel, muffler cover, a few handle pieces, brake pieces, some plastics.....depending upon how complete your case is, it could be a nice firewood saw for not a whole lot of money.

Some wonderful guys helped me out building me a saw and these pieces, while it’s not much, will hopefully bring Jeremy a few extra dollars.

Jeremy is a great guy, I am absolutely IN!

How would a hand-forged set of draw knives made by yours truly (one curved and one straight) be appreciated in the prize category? These knives are awesome for making hatchet and axe handles!!!
