Title: Charity Raffle - Tickets for "Claire" the Water pipe
Post by: WoodCollector on December 28, 2014, 06:28:37 PM
Raffle

I have had a lot of people request a raffle for an item for those who like to gamble and dont have a lot of money to spend on one of my art pieces, being the holiday season and things being slow i figured this piece would make the perfect item to raffle off.

I am selling 20 raffle tickets to win "Claire" the Waterfall Water Pipe. The winner will be responsible for paying shipping to their destination. The winner also gets to choose from the 3 bowls i have on hand at the moment which one they want with the piece.

The drawing will be held once all 20 tickets are sold and the winner will be selected using random.org to pick the number.

Due to the busy holiday season, please post the number of tickets you wish to purchase and the #/#'s of the ticket you wish to purchase as well. I will message you directly with a payment address for your tickets. Although i will be online at least a few hours a day, i cannot sit behind a computer all day over the Christmas holiday, i will send you a message as soon as i am online.

Tickets will be reserved on a first come first serve basis, please check the posts above yours to see if the # you want has been taken already, i will update the list in the OP at least once a day.

50% of the proceeds from this raffle will be donated to the FEED THE CHILDREN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300631.0) campaign sponsored by Dabs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54791)

***UPDATE***

This raffle will end on Monday January 5th no matter how many tickets are sold someone is winning this piece. Even if the raffle is only between the two guys who have bought tickets so far. If we do not sell all 20 tickets then we will not be able to make the charity donation so please get your tickets soon.


***UPDATE***

"Claire"


Materials: Purpleheart and Quilted Sapele

Gone are the days of crazy kids poking holes in Gatorade bottles and filling them at their mothers kitchen sink. Claire is an elegant Waterfall Water pipe (http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/file.php?2,file=2055,filename=bongs_diagrams_waterfall.jpg) for the sophisticated smoker with style and class. Claire is artistically hand crafted from beautiful Quilted Sapele and Purpleheart. Claire measures 16" tall and 4" round with a glass like finish and sports a colorful glass bowl for smooth smoking. Treat yourself and rise above the rest with this elegant conversation starting smoking device.

You should be educated on what constitutes drug paraphernalia. A water pipe is a tobacco smoking device for people who like their smoke to be water filtered.

How did you determine the winner fairly?

www.random.org
In future, you should make a hash and show it here or something picking a number or providing some way that is provably fair. Unless you did this via a live stream that others were around, you could have used random.org multiple times or never have and just said protokol was the winner.

Protokol could've said I'll pay you 1 BTC to pick me as the winner, how would we know? I'm not saying you didn't conduct it fairly, but with all the things that go on around here if I was entered in this contest I would want the drawing to be conducted fairly and proven to me.

Look at my trust, you think if I was drawn by a member here they would want me to be the winner? Nope so just click random again and I don't win. Lot of people don't like me lot of people have favorites etc. Need to establish a provably fair method of drawing and stream that or prove verifiability.

Thanks WC, I had a great time! The weather in Jamaica was much better than in Canada ;D , I see that other piece has already sold! You do great work, I especially liked Culture Cultivation, the detail is just unreal.  May have to get something in the future, a little light on funds these days, I am in the middle of a remodel on my home, when I am all done a nice piece of art would look great up on the shelf!
