Default Ticket package came in the mail- A-OK

Is there just one prize this year? The 12 DH 30" damascus is a sweetheart, but in past years, there have been second and third place prizes as well- didn't see any data on that on the tickets- just wondering, is all--

Nope, just the annual Raffle Gun... never a second or third prize that I've ever been aware of.

Wasn't that the year of the 16 gauges- a GH 16 Damascus Parker was first prize- seems to me maybe a set of barrel bore gauges second (not toooooooo shabby either)- anyway, only one lucky guy gets to claim this nice DH 12--Good luck to all ticket holders!

Just got mine as well. Maybe John Dunkle (admin techie guru that he is) could wave a magic wand and set up on-line payment for the tickets as well as the much appreciated on-line membership payments. So much easier for us international types.

Hope you read this thread John


Cheers,
Jack

David and Jack, Seeing as how Ed hasn't jumped in I will respond here. We do not currently have anything set up as far I know for handling on-line or international raffle ticket sales. An obvious oversight on our part. I would think a postal money order would get you set for this year and I can assure you this will be fixed by next years raffle.If I can be of help let me know by PM. My apology's...Dave

Hi David and Jack!

I wanted to do some checking before giving you guys the "correct answer".... Sorry for the delay!

Anyway - there are two primary ways to take on-line payments - PayPal and a Merchant Account. A "Merchant Account" is an account that a business entity can use to process virtually any credit card of the business entity's choosing - VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, DISCOVER, etc.. Most banking institutions offer those services - and they are web based, straight forward and extremely easy to facilitate... (I'll address more of those in a second, OK?)...

PayPal. Paypal is great - BUT - there are some conditions to use - including exclusion of sales for "Raffle Tickets" (falls into "gambling" statutes for some states/countries) and using PayPal for non-eBay auctions (for obvious reasons). Anyway - that excludes PayPal for the Raffle and Silent Auction. Membership payments have been - and will continue to be fine, however...

OK - back to those "Merchant Services" for a moment... It requires someone on the BOD (a Director) to set up that account and have signatory privileges on that account (typically, the financial guy/gal). When my wife and set up one for our business years ago - it took only a few minutes. However - I am not on the PGCA BOD (and will not be), I am not a "Director" (and won't be), don't have signatory on the Bank Account (and don't want it ).... So - I know the BOD is looking at that - and as of recently - is looking at Merchant Services with increasing importance....

Hope this helps,

John D.
