It seems to be a fairly common question on here as to how to run a roffle, so I thought a quick how to with some tips and tricks would be useful.
Basics:
Numbers 1 to 59 - this allows the use of the lotto bonus ball. This avoids any chance of accusations of a fix.
Tip: put this in the first post in the roffle thread. You don't want to have to be going back to the 6th post on page three of a sale thread just to add in a random.
Participants can pick numbers, or just ask for a random selection. Tip: once chosen, tag each user against their number using the @ symbol. Don't use Tapatalk mentions, they don't work. In fact, why are you still using Tapatalk?
You don't have to give someone a ticket just because they ask - feel free to ignore requests from fascists, socialists, time wasters, new users or people who use waxoyl.
Tip: put roffle as a tag and an item prefix.
Ticket price should be roughly 1/59th of what you want for the car. Tip: ensnare gambling addicts by offering a multibuy offer.
Make sure location and ticket price are in the thread title.
Make it clear if the car is drivable, MOTd, and for how long it can stay where it is should a winner not be able to collect immediately.
Once all tickets are allocated, send a message to all victims with payment details.
Tip: use a modern bank like Monzo or Starling so you know immediately when payments come in. Sending bank details is relatively low risk, especially with modern banks where a newly set up direct debit would be easy to spot and deal with.
If you choose to allow PayPal, BEWARE!
Many intelligent and sensible people are unable to send payments by Friends and Family (which will cost you) or will include "here's your raffle ticket money" in the message (which could lead to your PayPal account being shut down, losing all funds). Some people then pull the "I didn't receive my item" trick to get their money back, or even claim that their credit card payment was not approved. In short, taking PayPal payments leaves you liable to lose the money even after you think it's yours.
As the money starts coming in, check off the users in the number list. When most have paid it's tempting to announce that the next draw will decide the winner - but observe caution here too. Some people don't pay even after promising to; you don't need to gamble on them. Wait until you have all the money, then announce that the next lotto draw will be the decider.
Tip: don't worry about following the draw, someone will want it enough to watch it live.

Not actually a roffle, sorry. What have been our best roffles? I quite liked winning a Lexus LS400..

If you saw the News 24 in the early hours you’ll have seen my next car is due since it’s back up north, so now the collection!
So all I know of this car is the make and model, colour and year. And that it had an MOT. What have I gotten myself into?
Alexia, play Mr Blue Sky...

This roffle DOES NOT include two new genuine wings. They would be available to purchase by the winner, or I'll sell them separately.
12 months MOT

this is mother gm with her little "redster" on the day I handed over the keys
many adventures have been had over the past year but it is now time to find a new home for the plucky pug
basic infos : 126350 miles, mot until October 2020, in the last year it has been serviced, had a new exhaust, battery and a set of winter tyres, it's a fun little thing to chuck about the back roads and, as you can see, is a breeze to park
(she will kill me for using those photos)
the waving elf has sadly been removed, it was deemed to be inappropriate for a funeral convoy last week
the bodywork looks better in the pics than in the flesh, there are a number of scrapes and dings, at some point it's had an accident repair
but the steelies are painted "Peugeot Rallye White" which more than makes up for it
inside is pretty clean, everything works as it should - not that there are many toys, the CD player has an aux in and the windows are electric, the gearnob is a genuine JakeBullet poolball, the parcel shelf is a gm original with one sony and one jbl speaker
that speedo optimistic, it will not top a ton but will do 70 in second if you push it, 90 can be achieved in third, fourth or fifth - it doesn't seem to matter which
there is a spare tyre and toolz and a tottie wee engine in there somewhere
so who's up for a random or two ?
tickets are £12 each or 2 for £20, PayPal preferred, it is taxed (only £20 a year) but not currently insured, location is Chester-le-street, the lucky winner can be collected from Durham or Newcastle station
who wouldn't want to be this happy ?
