Excellent idea!!!
I think your memberships will flourish with this added bonus. I would not have signed up before, but now? maybe. My wife is on the local Ducks Unlimited committee. They have a 15 gun raffle at each dinner. Only 200 tickets are sold, 50.00 each or 3 for 100.00. You have a 1 in 13 chance of winning. It is always a huge success. You might be able to put something like this together later for more fundraising for the sight. Thanks again for your sight and your efforts. It is greatly appreciated. guns762 |

WHERE DO I SIGN? YOU GUYS TAKE MONEY ORDERS?!?!?
Edit: Actually, after giving this further thought, paying $60 dollars for a 1 in a 100 chance at winning a rifle is a lot, for just 1 out of a 100. I do know that you also get the membership benifits also, but still.... If you gave 1 rifle away for every 50 new members, you would get A LOT more members. Maybe you could raise the price to those who want to be entered in the drawings 10 or 15 bucks... I will still enter however, you would get lots more people to join, if you did 1 ever 50. Captain Also, could you send in another 60, to be entered in another drawing? how about 120 at once, to be entered twice in one drawning? |

I just had dinner with Heidi and she says she doesn't want to do this... I suggested to take one for the pro gun team and she walked out... some people!
Perhaps she misunderstood what constituted a date??? ]=) Please don't start analyzing the "what if" alternatives. This is just an added bonus we wanted to give to those who wished to help out. Most of these people were willing to do so before the rifles and it's our way of saying thanks and maybe pushing a few that are on the edge to help out! (Keep in mind these are not $200 rifles we're talking about! Configurations, options, and extras can all vary from raffle to raffle and once you're in for the year, you're in for all raffles in that year!) The thought of smaller raffles and give-a-ways during the course of a year is up in the air as well. I just figured this was a nice way to break the ice! If we sold tickets for say $30 we could sell twice as many in a heartbeat, but what you gain from it? It would just be one chance at a rifle... I figured this was just another bonus for membership contributions and a great way to get people involved! Who knows maybe we'll give out a Hummer in a few years. ]=) -- GB (And by Hummer I mean the TRUCK, not the other kind!) |

Correct me if I'm wrong Goatboy, but you seem to be contradicting yourself here. Earlier you stated that for every new 100 paid members AR15.com receives, you will hold another raffle for a LEGP. So, you will have a 1 out of 100 chance. (Example: 200 new members, you hold two raffles for two different LEGPs) Then you state, that ever member that has previously signed up will be entered in the every drawing. That is not possible. Say for instance that you have 315 paid members on this site. Recently another 100 members just sent in their dues, so, it's then time to hold another raffle. How could those 315 paid members be entered in the drawing for the new 100 member drawing(s)? Your chance would then be 1:415. Please clarify yourself. Thanks, Captain O. BTW: where do you sign up for being a member? |

I didn't mean to criticize your idea Goatboy. I just wanted you to know that I like the ideas you are coming up with, and to give you some more ideas for raffles in the future. I realize that with an average price of 300.00 for the DU guns, you could not do a 15 gun raffle with the same odds using ARs costing twice that. I just wanted to get you thinking for more fund raising in the future. I apologize if it came across as criticism, I'm sure you've had enough of that.

I'll try to help clarify this a bit...
If you go back and re-read Goatboy's posts, he never says anything about a 1 in 100 chance. Simply that for every 100 paid members we will give out another rifle! We feel this is a more rewarding system for everyone involved... and, obviously, the earlier you get in the more chances you have to win!!! As stated, this is not being done purely as a raffle for the sake of having a raffle, but is a way for us to give back to you guys for your help and support! I hope this helps!!!!!!!

Capt O. no flame here sir, but is it really necessary to over analyze every word typed by Goatboy? Some of us paid the fee as a way to help support this site. The extras we received for that fee, while nice, is not the reason we sent our money in. helping this site is. Now Goatboy, Grin & barrett and Anti have gotten together and added the bonus of a free LEPG # 223 to the pot. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I see no need to look a gift horse (goat) in the face here.Hey Joesy so WTF if it's $6,000 or $10,000 ? the point here is to raise funds for this site.if you wish to help support this site,fine.if not well that's fine also.no one is twisting anybody's arm to send in $60.00 of their hard earned $$$.but if you do,then you have a chance to walk away with a very nice rifle and be helping this site out at the same time.Once again,some of y'all here remind me of a little kid,whom on Christmas morning has a fit because the bike they received wasn't the color they wanted.as my mother would say " what a bunch of ingrates".mmk

Well said madman. Some of you people never cease to amaze me. You have access to probably the premier gun site on the net for free and some of you aren't happy. Now as a means to raise some money for this [b]free[/b] site and reward someone who bought a membership (again to raise money for a site that is still [b]free[/b]) GoatBoy and company are raffling off,giving away,etc,etc an LEGP rifle and your still complaining. Would it be so difficult to say "Wow..thanks GoatBoy. What a great idea and generous offer by you,anti and G&B" even if you didn't think so?

Holy crap Batman!
I thought this was a real nice way to say thanks to the people supporting the site, instead I get my ass kicked up and down the post. People, if you DON'T want to help, then DON'T. If you do, this is just another added benefit from funds we want to allocate as THANKS from us to you. To QUOTE MYSELF for a few others... The thought of smaller raffles and give-a-ways during the course of a year is up in the air as well. I just figured this was a nice way to break the ice! This means that we're making the announcement because the LEGP #223 is a special thing to us and we wanted to let it be known to those who've already begun to support the site. It also means that, yes, this is a more expensive item, but not the ONLY item we'll give away. We're looking at a number of smaller things as well ranging from shirts and T's to shotguns and other rifles. This may be AR15.Com, but we're not going to limit ourselves. ]=) Of course another reason why this post was made is in honor of the LEGP. What a way to break things open, than with an AR15 rifle!!! -- GB (And yes, every 100 people will incur another AR15 RIFLE to be raffled off. That means that the first 100 are included in the second raffle, but that each year instead of one major raffle we will do two. Just the perks of getting into the show early!) |

To all the bitchers, this is a bonus for those who have profited from this site and wish to help out to ensure it stays here. Josey, read your post again and think about it. This site costs mucho bucks every month to run, the idea is that we help out and pay for the use we get from it. Geez, everybody wants something for free. Thanks again GoatBoy. Oh yeah, once my check clears, then I'll start bitching. [;)] |

I was reading the membership agreement and the following statement puzzled me:
"subscribers agree not to engage in advertising to, or solicitation of other subscribers to buy or sell any products or services through the service without prior written consent" What does that mean exactly? Does this mean you wouldn't be able to sell stuff on the equipment exchange? Also, what number are you up to? and how would someone become a member if they chose to? Thanks Scott [uzi] |
