OwlerTom Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi everyone, I am after a bit of help. I was meant to be running the 2019 London Marathon for Barnardo's Children Charities but unfortunately I have had to defer my entry until 2020 now as I have a slipped disc. Lee Bullen was kind enough to get the players to sign me a shirt to help with fundraising, which I was going to auction at a Charity night. This will now not be until next year but I want to sell the shirt now as I feel it will be worth more whilst shirt is current and before some/all of the 15 out of contract players leave. I want it to fetch as much money as possible and add it to my current fundraising (which is all rolling over to the 2020 marathon). I bought the shirt at full price (club wouldn't give a discount) but I want to make it clear I will NOT be taking this money off the total. All money raise will go to Barnardo's. What do people think will raise the most money? A simple auction on eBay (fee's apply) or selling raffle tickets for say £5 on here and across facebook etc. I would really appreciate you thoughts and advice. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Selling Raffle tickets on social media may come under the jurisdiction of the laws on gambling. I should check on the gambling commission website. Also, I'd be inclined to hold onto the shirt a month or so, see if the play offs are attainable. May increase the value.
