[AKP]

I will look into this as an option.

Thanks!

~~ auctioneers if we tell them it is for a fundraiser for

~~   I work for a non-profit. The problem with running raffles is
~~ that in NC, at
~~   least, they are considered "games of chance" (gambling) and
~~ there are LOTS
~~   of rules about how they must be conducted to not get in
~~ trouble if you are a
~~   non-profit (and even if you aren't).
~~
~~   While I don't really have an opinion on which would get you
~~ more profit, I
~~   know one thing - a silent auction is a lot less trouble for
~~ where I work as
~~   far as dealing with red tape goes!
~~
~~   ...add my 2 cents to yours, Rebecca, if it is of any help to you.
~~   Information on rules pertaining to raffles and how to abide my
~~ them can be
~~   found on the website for the NC Center for Non-profits FAQ
~~ list on their
~~   website.

~~   Hey there's a new relevant subject!
~~
~~   I've heard mixed reports one saying silent auctions
~~   made more money and another saying raffles made more
~~   money.   I think a huge part of it is how well
~~   organized it is and how well planned it is in advance.
~~
~~
~~   "We're having a fundraiser and here's several Very
~~   Cool Things up for auction or raffle" works great.  It
~~   also depends on your area.  I have a personal
~~   preference towards raffles because it involves more
~~   people as opposed to an auction where people with a
~~   fixed amount of money have the potential to get cut
~~   out of the bidding early on.
~~
~~   I don't believe in allowing promises to be auctioned -
~~    things that say I will bring the item in this picture
~~   at a future event.  Too many people have missed out
~~   for whatever reasons that way.
