A poll for a game

[Rasputin]

Since my Frozen pins aren't selling too well. I wanted to ask the forum if they would be interested in a game. It would include the Frozen pins, LE Princess pins, DSF pins, PTDs.

I am thinking about running a game that is $50 a pick, but you are guaranteed to get at least $30 worth of pins. With most of the pins being $50-$220 I wonder if this is feasible or if anyone would be interested.

There would be at least 60 spots.

Please vote and or leave questions/concerns/comments below.

Does the $50 include postage costs? It might be more feasible to do more than one game. If you have enough pins for 60 spots, perhaps 2, 30-spot games, or 3, 20-spot games may go quicker. Then you can collect funds for the first game and start the second one, etc.

Or depending on how many lower level pins you have, decrease the price to $25-30 postage paid, have a 10-spot game where 1-2 pins are in the $50-200 range and the other 8-9 spots are in the $10-25 range? Then, repeat until you are done with pins.

Just cuz my 100-spot game took FOREVER to fill up (2 months and then 1 month for people to pick). Mad_For_Alice's 74 spot game never filled up (she had the designer villainesses as one grand prize and PODMs) so she stopped that game and created a new one with different prize levels, depending on how many spots sell.

That is another option, have multiple grand prizes with 1 grand prize available when 10 spots sell, a 2nd grand prize available when 20 spots sell, etc. (if you still want to do the $50/spot option)

I didn't vote because the answer for me could be two of the choices. 50 is a lot of money for a pin. So I would probably only get one spot. I am afraid it would take forever to fill up at that many spots. I am not saying it wouldn't be worth it, just might take a long while. Lee probably has a great point on 3 20 spot games might work better.

I agree with starry_solo that making smaller games and seeing how those go will probably go better for you. Large games have a hard time filling up, and $50 is a pretty high entry point. As for your slow sales right now, it's also The Holidays so it's pretty hard for a lot of us to buy much at this time. You'll probably have better luck post-Christmas.
