hey guys,
just looking to pick a few brains and maybe even ask for a little help. i'm considering doing a pump for a fund raiser. i want to do something small, so that the winner would be able to get it inside if they wanted. maybe a bennett 766 or 966 or a small tokheim 39. something along those lines. here's were i hit you guys up for stuff...LOL
first, would you pay 10.00 for a raffle ticket to win something like this?
or is that to much?
second, would 250 tickets be to many to offer?
that would raise 2500.00 dollars to help pay the medical bills.
third, is there anyone out there that would be willing or able to donate some items...i.e. globe, whose, faces, repro signs?
i dont yet know what kind of pump or if i can even pull this off.
this is my buddy's nephew. he was just diagnosed with terminal cancer a week before his 21st birthday. my buddy brian, runs a body shop here in st louis at ROYAL GATE DODGE his wife tracy runs SPIRIT WEST AUTO BODY and her father own's WALTERS AUTO BODY. so the family is in the business and into old cars and hot rods. they are going to have a benefit golf tournament april 16th. and i am gonna try and unvail this pump there, and sell raffle tickets then. and was also gonna try and and have it at DOC's HARLEY DAVIDSON for there open house and ride in april. if patty bush will let me. (patty owns DOC's) anyway, just wanted some input on what you guys think. i have never done this before, but i think i can get it together. but any help would be greatly appreciated. just let me know what you think.
thanks again guys
mike

My globes are all 15" so they would be too big for a short pump, but I do have a 13-1/2" Bengals if you want to use them. You can definately put me down for tickets.

OK, i see there is gonna be alot of interest..you guys are awesome. i will get some things together and see what i can do. i'm gonna talk to a friend with several pumps tonight or tomorrow. see if i can talk him out of something decent, or at leasst see if i can beat him down on his price...LOL i think i'm gonna foot the bill for the pump, and maybe hit a few people up for the goodies to go with it, and paint will be no problem. i'm thinking red and white...i am a fan of both texaco and mobil and figure alot of hot rod guy woud like the same because they are so well known, rather than a smaller or more rare pump/color. i just think it might generate more interest from others that are not huge gas nuts. but still like the look of a nice nostalgic pump by the garage or in the livingroom. thanks agian to everyone, and john h...you sure i cant talk you out of that globe..i mean i'm offering to take it off your hands...LOL. thanks for all the support so far, and i will let you all know what and where and when and all that good stuff, keep the ideas coming. and i might need some help posting a few pics to....i can do before, during and afters. so you can all see the progress. and i will figure out something for all of you that would like a few tickets. maybe just have you send me the money with an address and i will mail back your tickets or something...however we can work it out. and again, you guys are awesome.
