the call them waffle's and they happen on almost anything now a-days I think it's a neat way to get rid of stuff, or possibly pickup something at a good price.

they don't you run it yourself.....

Example:

You have a 2015 Skidoo Summit, you want 10,000 for. You offer up 100 spots @ $100 per spot, once all 100 spots are full, you use a number generator and facebook live or a video and run a number between 1 and 100. Whomever has that numbered space gets the 2015 Skidoo Summit and you have $10,000 in your pocket.

Just an idea,. but say sell a sled for a grand more than wanted and donate the overage to the website or a charity of everyone's agreement or we pick a charity for the month that donations go to. But regardless I don't think this should be talked about in open forums.

Leave it with me. I'll take it away and see what we can do. I like this idea.

Some of the waffle draws don't request the funds until all spots are spoken for. Then they don't draw until all funds are received.
