61 tickets sold Need 210

Ok, here is the deal. I have a 90 plymouth laser Turbo FWD for sale. Details about the car can be found here http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=293686

I want $1000 for it. I want it out of here.

At $1000, there are many lowballers in WV, VA, MD, OH, KY that would buy it.
Here's what I thought:

How about 210 lottery tickets? Paypal me $5 and once I reach 210 people, we settle a time, I came up here and announce who won. That simple.

A scam? Well, if you think I will individually will try to scam 210 people for $5 each, well.......... I won't.

How do you know it will be fair? Because I have honor.

Guys, listen: Even if this doesn't work, someone will buy it off me for 1K.

I just thought it would be cool to win a car for $5. I would also provide the winner with a bill of sale for $5 so state taxes would be a joke.

IF you are willing to paypal me $5 post here and I will add you to the list at the first post....

As soon as I get 210 people I will post the paypal address.

It's a raffle, not a car for sale for $5.

OK? *checks original post* nope.. no mention anywhere of "sale"

Not that I care, but isn't that illegal? Here you need raffle liscences...

who's gonna squeal on them? it's not like they're taking advantage of anyone. it's as harmless as office pool on the weekend football game.

A raffle would insinuate winning an item based strictly on the purchase of a ticket IMHO.

I believe he is offering the OPTION to buy a car for $5 in lottery form.
