Buckeye Raffle – We Have a winner! Congrats ghostndragon!!

Here’s a chance for whoever wanted Buckeye (the november raffle prize).

I got him, I loved him for awhile, and then I see I would have killed for the last few raffles. Really I would have.

So here’s what I propose. This isn’t a lottery issue, because there’s no money involved. All I’m doing is collecting names until September 1st (2 weeks from now) and then drawing a name.

The rules:

Anyone can enter my draw.
Whoever wins has to pay my shipping costs. I will ship Expresspost, which is like US Priority, unless the winner specifies otherwise.

Rather then PM me, could you please email me at freakyinsomniak@gmail.com to enter. If I don’t reply within a few days (I’ll be gone the 22nd through to the 24th, and will receive, but be able to do nothing about your email), then you can PM me here, to make sure I got it. Or reply to the thread.

He still has his box (somewhere) and I don’t believe he has any problems. I will have to check when I get home. I dropped a PYO on him, but the PYO broke, not Buckeye. Having said that, he had a chipped hoof that Melody fixed.

EDIT: Please include your forum name in the email. I don’t know who you all are by your first names. Thanks to those who included their forum name with the emails sent already.

I thought Melody covered that and said that whoever gets him is still eligable for future draws. But I could ask her….?

EDIT: Found it!

I am trying to find/remember what you/the staff said about raffle prizes. I’m pretty sure I recall you/they/us concluding that, since you can’t enter another raffle after winning a prize, you also can’t enter again if you sell the piece (since it was free!), but that someone could give away their prize and be eligible again for future raffles…Am I remembering this right?

Also, what about the person who receives a given piece? On the one hand, they have a raffle prize, so maybe they’re now ineligible? On the other hand, they still haven’t *won* a piece, so maybe they can still enter?

Thank you!Yes, the person who receives the piece either by buying it, or getting it free from a winner is still eligible. For YOU to be eligible to enter a raffle again, you need to give it away, or donate the proceeds of selling it to charity.
I am making up these rules as I go, and there are lots of scenarios I can think of that I don’t have rules for, such as: you give the piece to your friend who sells it and gives you the money, or you give the piece to a family member who doesn’t particularly like Windstones, so they let you keep it with your collection, forever…
I don’t worry about stuff like that. I know that all of you are completely honorable.

I so far have 16 people!
