Segways seem like good fundraisers. If the TechnoKats weren't raffling one off (http://www.kokomoperspective.com/new/article.asp?6250) themselves, I'd be buying one of 871's tickets.

OMG, their raffling Segways. LOL111

Very nice. I wish I had enough money to be in the raffle, but I spend them on video games, if you know what I mean. ;)

Sorry, I updated the Drawing Date information in the original post.

Drawing date is December 16th, at 7:00.

There is only 1000 tickets in circulation for this fundraiser. We felt those were reasonable odds. We didn't get the segway for free, so some of the money is to recooperate the costs of the Segway itself.

Thanks for reminding me to post this information.

Supporting a FIRST team, only paying 10 bucks, and possibly winning a segway... what could be better! :)

Would we have to pick up the Segway, or could we have it delivered to us? (This question is for either of the two teams that are raffling off Segways)

I dont think that you need to be there, we just need your full name, address and telephone number with area code

MrB

No you do not need to be present, and we can have the segway shipped to you. We would have to look into the cost of shipping.

Okay, I'm in. Be sure to let us all know how well this worked as a fundraiser.

I'm confused. :confused:

In the fine print of your Segway raffle it says the owner must pick up the Segway at Segway Long Island and must also take a training demonstration before taking ownership. Are some of these rules being waived for people who can't make it to Long Island or is there an updated copy of the rules?

P.S. I'm not trying to come across as picky but I just don't know what to believe. :)

Just curius, what model machine is it?

I or P? If its an I do we have a choice between the titanium and midnight blue machines?

MrB

Originally, we were only thinking of doing this locally, and we wanted to express that the Segway will not be available for pickup that night, as the Segway Dealer wanted to make sure they received a demo before delivery. Now that we ar eopenning this up to the entire US, we have to be flexible.

As for Series, winner receives a brand new, yet to be picked iSeries. So yes you would have a color choice.

Also, the rules say the Segway must be accepted by someone over 18, does that mean somebody younger than 18, like me, could enter and have my parents claim it if I win? Or should I put their names on the ticket or what?

MrB

03-12-2004, 12:27

Correct, you can put your name on the ticket, but I would need to speak with an adult to ship and accept the prize. Legalities, nothing against those under 18 :-)

Would we have to pick up the Segway, or could we have it delivered to us? (This question is for either of the two teams that are raffling off Segways)I'm sure a segway can be strapped to your roof as easily as a mini-chopper can! :rolleyes:

Oh, and you have a paypal account now.. That's cool. Quick question (for anyone). I have never used paypal outside a standard online checkout. How do I go about sending payment to you through paypal?

Do I just enter your e-mail addy in the sender field in my Paypal control panel or whatever?

As soon as I figure out how to do this, I'll be sending you my ticket cost.

Thanks!

(and I was the one that was all excited about a possibility of a paypal account being used.. lol) I'm such a noob! :ahh:

MrB

04-12-2004, 07:33

you are correct, just send it to my e-mail address b3@buonomo.org. All tickets from this weekend, will be mailed out monday morning.

Congrats on this fundraiser. Team 47 had a huge one last year for the first time. It was actually a hard fundraiser because no one knew what a Segway was, but I wish you guys the best! Hopefully the fundraiser helps your team out.
