Just wondering whether you're maximising takings by having the same £5 price across raffles for items worth everything between £500 and £5k.
I'll guess entering any raffle has the factors of a) contributing to a cause, b) chance of winning something you want but could buy, or c) something you couldn't/wouldn't otherwise buy. The right combination of these appeals enough and results in a purchase. There's also how many people someone thinks might enter, which might balance things out for perceived value of buying a ticket.
I expect someone will have done a PhD on raffle ticket pricing.
Raffall shows me the number of entrants for past draws (only after they've finished?), £5 for 1 in 1053 for a £1200 Cotic Solaris frame, £10 to Cyclorise/Ukraine for 1 in 686 for a £6.8k Revel Rascal. Both were unlimited entries but notice that the former raised 4.4x the value of the prize, while the latter only did 1x. That's despite Ukraine and a complete bike both being more widely appealing vs. the STW server payment and a bike frame.
I'm seeing both some unstyled (at least I hope it's not intentional) massive images and also [not] seeing missing images on this page. What's the raffle paying for again? 😉
Nice as it is, my mind just boggles at the thought of spending £450 on a light. Though I might risk a fiver on the chance 😉
The mount looks really flimsy attached right at the front like that, does the light not bounce around a lot? I assume it's a lot more solid than it looks.

No it's absolutely rock solid.

Not going to suggest it's cheap, but it's because there more of an investments, than a throw away item. IME something reliable and all-in-one just makes the most sense, if you night ride regularly. My 2nd hand Maxx-D is a 2017 model, I've had it 4 years now and don't see a reason to upgrade. Previously I tried to get every 'latest and greatest' from china, and they was cheap, very bright, had rubbish optics and just never reliable or long lasting (also a vague "is this going up in flames" when charging vibe).
Well I entered it. Given my own Exposure is doing funny things, I thought it best to just in case, especially with winter coming along, I don't want to be caught short.
However. On the delivery address, its got my username in place of my Christian name, so it's dyna-ti **** and not Andrew ****. Is this a glitch ?
I'll add this to the problems thread in case this doesnt get seen.
I'm sure the postie looks at the address more than the name, but its just to make the powers that be aware
