What happened to raffles on this forum?

[Otaking]

What happened to raffles on this forum? they've disappeared, a while back practically the whole trade section was full of them.

I only ask as I'm curious on peeps opinions. I've never entered a raffle as far as I can remember and I've never started a raffle, but I have given stuff away for free in the past to other forum members.

I've got a lot of stuff I plan to give away in different ways, but am working 7 days a week through summer.

I've got almost everything ready for another sound quiz.

Once I ruin(!) a few new Sonic Spike cases by adding Sparky labels to them, the rest of the contents for each copy will be raffled off all at once in a single thread.

Other than a Keith or two, I ran out of dupes to get rid of and I've not bought any lots to replenish the supply for a couple years.

dont forget annual magicoal.
some people just need to be patient.

[BigusSchmuck]

I still got some digging to do. I know some people are waiting on a few things from me, but once I get my shit organized I'll probably have a raffle or two.

[wildfruit]

I've got one coming up. It will be crap but beggars can't be choosers.

[Sadler]

I had a bad experience with a raffle winner that really soured me on doing raffles. I'll still give shit away from time to time if I notice someone is looking for something I have an extra of.

Raffles? I would say that the sales section for PCE/TG goods is quite slow in general nowadays. At least I tried to get some somewhat common games for a whole year and yet I didn't receive any offers in my WTB thread(s?).

WTB: need any games Sadler has dups of. Negative feedback and public complaints will be filed if price is not free, shipping not instant, and condition other than mint.

Yeah, I hate those a$$holes that bitch about slow shipping when they're getting stuff for free.

[esteban]

I would say that it usually takes a raffle or two to act as a catalyst...then PANG! A bunch of raffles.

Also, the biggest reason there have not been any recent raffles..... BREXIT.

I vaguely remember this. Who was the fabulous person who stirred up all the negative energy? I would guess that they are no longer posting, but....

[seieienbu]

I did a couple of them.  The first time I did one I had to ship it to the guy twice and then the guy just kinda left the forums; I never even heard if he got the game.  I guess that's my bad for raffling the game off to anyone and not having a post count requirement or anything.  The second time I raffled off a game the winner didn't even bother to message me. 

Maybe I'll reraffle the second game at some point or maybe not.  I've still got it lying around.

You are hardly one to complain about shipping time sir.  And even after I spent all that time Bonkin' to the oldies
