It's a match worn shirt, by a scorer in the biggest Derby match of the year, which we won convincingly. It's worth a lot more than £250, surely. mate i considered many different ways of auctioning it but I've found since we've been fundraising that getting people to click a link is a difficult task. I saw an shirt auction on Facebook and it did OK so i figured where's the best and largest DCFC community and can i link all of Facebook to it rather than one page? So figured this was the best hope we had! all that above or i'm just p!ss poor at this sort of thing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Lottery based system would have generated more. 59 Tickets @ £10 each Anyone can buy as many as they like. Guaranteed £590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of lottery mate, just using the bonus ball for a selected lottery draw. Its done on Facebook pages for raffles loads.... generates loads of dosh, the seller gets what they want and people can participate and potentially win something at the fraction of the perceived value.

Yes I will second that, I’ve tried to get a couple of Derby shirts that way, I am on a derby county shirt collectors face book page with 150 members, not many would want to pay £450 for the shirt but many would buy a £10 ticket, also eBay there would be a lot of interest by the bigger collectors, the big one is if we get to the play offs, if we lose on Sunday a lot of interest will end but if we go through it opens up a whole lot of new offers ! either way would deffo get more than £250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkRam Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi all, With regards to all that has been suggested above, I have spoken with reveldevil as the highest bidder and he is happy for the auction to be closed and changed to the lottery based system as it seems the best way to generate money for the fundraising. I'm going to get this set up today and get the ball rolling ASAP and the entry will be donated directly onto the page so once it starts theirs no stopping it this time! I will post as soon as it is ready to go. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
