Should i raffle off my turbo kit?

SilverGAGT2002 · 11-24-2009, 04:24 PM

Thinking about doing 100 tickets or so at $10 a pop...sound like a good idea?

Grandamgtblk99 · 11-24-2009, 04:37 PM

I doubt there are 100 people here that would be interested in going turbo.

alerored04 · 11-24-2009, 04:40 PM

people would buy multiple tickets for a better shot at winning.

solutions_auto · 11-24-2009, 05:34 PM

i'd buy a ticket

oldschoolguy · 11-24-2009, 07:58 PM

yes do. I'd buy a ticket or two. I'd rather win zuki's turbo tho. I like the idea of bolt on and forget

eckoxl · 11-24-2009, 08:35 PM

I'd buy probably 3 tickets.

zukiracer19 · 11-24-2009, 08:42 PM

if this works for you, I may try it also... but im going to ask a bit more to cover shipping costs, maybe like an extra hundred as long as they dont live far as hell away or have the person who wins just cover shipping costs, because the person who won could have paid just 10 $ another 100$ is still a helluva steal.

I could definetly program a number generator between the numbers of so and so to so and so... and click a button and generate a number for whoever bought that ticket at that time.

No, because by the time you get all the money to finalize the raffle, it will end up like the Turbo header group buy. You will hold on to people money for months while they wait and wait.

What you have is not really specific to a grand am, as all you have is a turbo, intercooler, pipes, couplings and oil lines. You might as well put it on ebay as it could be used on several applications. Until you have the turbo manifolds, it is about useless to 90% of ga owners as they do not have the fab skills/resources to get the manifolds and down pipe made.

I got alot of people locally interested aswell and on the alero forums i might try 60V6 aswell

phucket i'll buy one for the lulz

Gagt518 · 11-25-2009, 12:56 PM

By the time you get close to your asking price (If you do, as i dought it) Paypal would rape you in fee's

Figure 70 cents for every $10

lone_wolf025 · 11-25-2009, 03:21 PM

Turbo kit for $10? Sure why not. I'd be down for it. Worst case you get someone to custom design the headers. Still cheaper in the long run.

Grandamgtblk99 · 11-25-2009, 10:09 PM

Or if someone really wants turbo manifold that was used with the kit they could ask the previous owner of the set up to sell the manifolds to them

speedfreak1 · 11-25-2009, 10:41 PM

ya I'm down for a few tickets.
