thefence2113 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Coheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (sealed) Blue/Gray 2xLP RAFFLE Rules/Guidelines: (most of these are more or less just guidelines to keep this raffle fair and fun for everyone) Chances will be sold at $ 5.00 each and will be limited to a maximum of 20 chances per VC member. To enter you must first message me with the amount of chances you intend to purchase at the time. Once I've received your message I'll provide you with my PayPal email address and you can send payment. (Please make payment as a "gift" and include your VC username as well as the word "raffle" somewhere within the note via the PayPal transaction.) UPDATE: Replying to each message is going to be time consuming, so my paypal email address is [email protected] (Just notify me via message once you've made payment so I can update the entry list. Thanks!) Chances can be purchased in separate transactions, but before you buy a chance please message me first. This raffle will run for one week and the winner will be announced on 02/26/2013 at around 5:00PM CST...maybe a little earlier or later but somewhere around then. (I hope to have someone designated to capture the drawing by this date.) Out of courtesy, I ask that everyone keep this public. (not making outside deals with other members for money or trades) I will constantly be keeping this thread updated so everyone will know the number of chances that have been purchased by each member. Since this is a raffle, I have no control over how much money it will bring me. All I ask is that I don't catch any grief if it ends bringing a lot. I know this is a really sought after album so I can't say I don't expect a lot of people to buy chances. Regardless, whether I make $5 or $500+, the album will go to the winner of the drawing. I know those are a lot of guidelines for just one raffle, but I wanted to cover everything I could picture being a problem for anyone, including myself. Let's keep this fair and fun. If this raffle is successful, I'll most likely run a few more in the future. Also, if anyone can think of other rules/guidelines to include, let me know. Good luck everyone and thanks for your interest. Entries: fuckoffleatherjacket (x2) blaffin (x2) Ryan8765 (x2) sea2113 (x3) S0matic (x10) Fischmioli (x10) videogamesandvinyl, s0matic, homework and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxonviolons Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Not a lot of guidelines at all, and I think this is great that the VC Community can put something like this together. Will be PMing you soon. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 so now that we're removed from christmas season, everyone's okay with people doing this for their own benefit and no inclusion of charity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homework Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 so now that we're removed from christmas season, everyone's okay with people doing this for their own benefit and no inclusion of charity? That instantly popped into my head before last post. I'm just fine with sending a fellow record collector a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is there a cap to how many entries because that will determine how many entries I would want to purchase/purchase any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0matic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is there a cap to how many entries because that will determine how many entries I would want to purchase/purchase any at all. First line says $5/entry, 20 entries max per VC member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefence2113 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just to be clear, this wasn't initially my idea. It was suggested to me by other members. I also let everyone know that I wouldn't be donating to a charity. Sorry if this raffle pisses anyone off. The way I see it this is just a chance for somebody to own this album without having to pay $350+ for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idreamofpunk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 MEanwhile people can drop up to $100 for a mere chance on getting it, and if you're lucky, you could definitely make a lot more than $350. I guess if you like gambling with those amounts... Sorry, without at least a portion of the money going to a cause of some sort, I don't know how I feel about this. I'm with Ry on this one.

I'm having a hard time understanding this . Are you guys implying that their is something unethical about doing a raffle with out donating the money to charity? or you just personally don't want to take the risk?

Are you guys implying that their is something unethical about doing a raffle with out donating the money to charity? or you just personally don't want to take the risk? this guy has annoyed people since day 1. he only joined this board to brag about his coheed collection then a few months later tried to sell all of it here for ridiculous prices. that failed. miserably. so he listed some of his copies of this album on ebay, and i guess he didn't get enough money for them so now he is raffling it off after seeing how succesful other people here were with it. he is just trying to weasle as much money as he can for this, plain and simple. while other people did raffles to donate some money to charities around the holidays or give money to the red cross for victims of hurricane sandy. it's also hilarious that all of the people who gave this guy money have under 15 posts (2 out of the four have 4 posts to their name) or joined two months ago thefence2113 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, I think (edited) Coheed is a bloated load of bad prog, so no, I wouldn't be interested in entering the raffle in any capacity. And to answer the other question, yeah. Kind of.

fuckoffleatherjacket Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just don't see the fundamental link between raffles and charity. Are we suppose to donate to charity every time we make money? Obviously not. So why does this particular form of profiting require some altruism? It just seems really arbitrary to say this guy has to donate to charity but not any other member who sells a bunch of records making profit. chamb117 and saxonviolons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
