[MR] raffles versus silent auctions

[Becky McEllistrem]

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.
