so i have this crazy idea...
i was going to start a "go fund me" page to try to dig up a few bucks, but i thought i would float the proposition here first to test demand...
i really want this item, but i can't justify spending that much on myself, so i thought 'well what if some folks all pitched in and donated some of it'? i could offer a prize or something to a random winner of a drawing of all folks that contributed no matter the donation if a certain minimum funding amount is reached?
i don't even know if this is acceptable to do on this website, and one of the hardest things i try to do is be acceptable on this website. it's true, but i sometimes fail. but i am thinking about posting a new thread with an anonymous poll where folks could pledge a dollar amount or two to help me get this thing, and then if it gets to the goal i will contribute a prize of silver back to the random drawing winner. but make no mistake, if the goal is reached it means i got enough pledges to buy this thing plus shipping and to cover my cost of the raffle prize.
so that means i am a net winner if it goes. somebody is a net winner for sure unless they pledged an amount higher than the raffle prize. and everybody else can write it off as on of those "well screw that moments".
any thoughts on this matter?
it would only be about a $250 total commitiment, and i will buy one of the raffle tickets myself.
