HELP!! Jack Berry's Van

[underdog777]

just a idea on the van . I dont know how many people show up to these things. But you might try a 25 dollar raffle on the van. You raffle 1500 tickets at the door you got his money for the van.And someone gets the van for 25 dollars. Plus if you lose its still a good cause. Wish i could be there.

I wish I could be there too.

As to the raffle, good idea, BUT, you have to get a raffle license. I don't know how to do that in Ohio.

interesting idea, sell tickets and if not enough tickets sell(to cover cost of van) the money goes to the winning ticket.

I dont about the law side of it. But you would think for a good cause they wouldnt mess with you on it.

In a heart beat. I know of a fire department who got in trouble for an unlicensed raffle. They were raising money for a new engine. Hard to beat that as a good cause. It mattered not.

I believe Greg is wrong on not taking the time to attend the show and talk to others.

Well I would but seeing I have to make a choice on what to attend, the expo is not on the top of the list - beside I have limited transportation for the next few weeks.

I think in Ohio you can hold a private raffle - meaning it is done on that day, in one location with all ticket sales and drawing happening at the event with the person present.

I believe that is true, that in Ohio you can have the raffle. We can also do a 50/50 raffle for them as well. That may help pay a payment on it to help till it is sold, if dxoesn't get sold at the Expo.
I like the van raffle idea.

Ok, 1st let me thsnk those that have stepped up and offered to help with this situation.

Now, I have sent PM's to all that offered as to meeting and setting up a time slot for you to take time to be with the van. For anyone reading this now and feel that you would like to help, we will be meeting at the Van at approx 8 am Fri morning.

Now as I said in the 1st post, no one is expected to be a salesperson...all we need are people there to keep an eye on things and if you feel comfortable doing so, talking to people about the van and that it is a turn key ready to go expediters van...The big issue with someone being there is that we want the van open, and there are items in the van that could come up missing, no one is saying that will happen, we just want someone there to lessen that possibility.

As to a raffle, after speaking with a few people that do those, there are more then meets the eye here...while it seems a good idea, we won't be doing that and we will move on with our original plan of simply getting the van the most exposure to people that are coming to the expo for information and that are considing the purchase of a van to get started..

Express 1 has assured me that they will print a bunch of "flyers" with the info about the van that will be available to those that may be interested. Again, no one is expected to sell the van, we do NOT have permission to discount the price...all pricing will be handled by Jack and Gracie eith at a later date with anyone that has a really interest or over the phone...in addition, if anyone shows a real interest, on the flyer will be a phone # that they can call during the Expo and 1 of a few people will meet them at the van and talk with them...

Now while no one is expected to sell the van, if anyone feels comfortable talking about it with people, by all means, go for it...Again, the idea is simply to Expose the Van to people that my have an interest and make sure nothing "walks away" from the van...

So again, Thanks to all that have offered to help and thanks to Amanda for offering to make up a poster board....we can still use more help if anyone is interested, just meet at the van Fri morning at 8 and we will go from there... Thanks!!

PS: For anyone that has offered to help, if you can't make the meeting at 8 am fri, please send me a PM here on EO and I will get back to you with my phone # so that you can call me and we will work it out that way...Again Thanks, all of your efforts and help are appreciated..

Actually talking to a few who do raffles won't give you the info you need.

Lawrence and the vendors are already doing what can be done, there is already one using a consideration for one door prize, the use of the EO name in order to participate. SO this is the same thing - it is not a raffle. AND Ohio has the same laws regarding individual help, like a fire victims fund where donations are allowed using a prize as with a consideration to participate - outside the scope of their charitable raffle or chance drawings.

Hey greg, more then a few have stepped up to help, you come on down and take care of the raffle part since you have it all figured out , no need to "Arm Chair Quarterback " it, cme on down and "get it done"...oh wait, transportation is an issue for you this week...

Oh and one other thing, while the van is at the Expo, EO and Lawrence and On Time Media have nothing to do with this , other then their generousity and help....And that it much appreciated....

 

[greg334]

Oh Dennis you didn't need to respond with petty comments, I was only trying to make a comparison to what is possible to accelerate the sale of the van to what is going on there at the expo.

So unlike others with false or misleading info, like you who talked to someone who happened to do a raffle, I made sure that I called the people who actually oversee the enforcing the laws and got accurate info to help out, seeing I can't go there.

By the by, I didn't imply that Lawrence or anyone else had anything to do with this outside of space, don't know where you read that but I can only assume. I think Lawrence should thank you for speaking for him, maybe a tee shirt.

In the future, I will have to remember there are two types of people, one that helps and one that helps by other's standards.

Well I didn't see you sticking any posts in there trying to help so why comment?

 

[The Enemy]

Yoh know Greg, sometimes people choose not to post if they help someone or volunteer for something. Some folks don't need that public recognition or a public atta boy that you always seem to be looking for.

 

[greg334]

So I'm the frinkn' bad guy here?

The best thing that could have been done was not to respond to my post in the first place.

I took a bit more effort than others who were second guessing or talking to someone who may know or not know what's going on to get information for this or another situation.

I wasn't looking for a prize or any personal gain by it, rather the best I could expect was a thank you yet that wasn't important to me - just helping Jack out is.

So next time I won't step up and comment - which will make a few of you happy anyway.

 

[The Enemy]

Trust me i wasn't just talking about this post/thread. You always seem like you have to one up the other guy, like you know everything there is to know in this world. It just gets old logging on here and seeing your negativity.
