Theres a few of them going on here too. Get the poll going, to see the outcome.

a poll would be good but you can't really have a poll until the method of working and rules for such raffles on Esato is established
we need to know what we're voting for...

Well, no offence mate, but its because of the price you have set, 12x25 = 300 pounds...
A new iPhone is coming out, plus the 8gb one was on sale for 169 pounds at one point... I would buy your phone, just not at that price, and I think thats the reason for the raffle, you're trying to get a price you wouldn't get otherwise, which is just taking advantage... |

Would a poll of Yes or No to the selling by raffle not be enough to start with. If a no is the outcome, then we dont need any ground rules.

yes, but perhaps people can decide better if they know how it will be run
people may simply say no because they have doubt about how it will work and people who say yes might not like how it eventually turns out that it will be run
I think we should be better informed to make our decision and we know exactly what we are voting for either way

@F1:
This is not meant against you and/or your phone, but against raffles in general, when they're only started, to get the asking price for a phone, which, as we all know, we don't get in a normal sale.
And yes, a raffle once in a while, like that with weirdwilli's Samsung is fun, but I'm against a raffle, when it's put up by the seller himself, only as a selling method, with the purpose of getting a better price.
Anyways, if and when raffles like these are put up, the seller shouldn't decide about the price, a few trusted sellers should be doing this.
[joke on] Or can I put up a raffle for my father-in-law's spare Nokia 1600, only 25 tickets at £1 ? [joke off]

No, I didn't flame your thread to get your phone cheaper...
I've had 3 iPhones in the past, I can get them cheap from US friends, I just think its a little unfair to be running raffles thats all... | |
