bow raffle for bow trade shipping overseas

[sleek]

Hehe, good point. Sorry all my overseas guys, yall are exempt from this deal unless you just wanna help out.

[J05H]

If you get this up and going I'd be willing to chip in. Whether it's a raffle, or just a collection, doesn't matter to me.

Id buy a chance for the cause

If it helps i can use my drill pay for his bow. Id be willing to spend it so its not like im reluctant. Just shoot me a pm on here if you guys want to do that.

[sleek]

You should tell one of the guys running the bow trade if your willing to do that. Real nice of you.

[kid bow]

Just pm them

Have you guys heard of freight forwarding companies, such as MYUS.COM or Bongo International etc? A customer/recipient of a bow from outside America can take out membership which usually doesn't cost any money, and it gives them a postal address in the USA. The maker/seller ships the bow locally to one of the warehouses. These companies get much better rates than private citizens from couriers like DHL, UPS, etc, so full length bows can be shipped at significant savings, even when local postage is added to the total.

I have used them plenty of times for ebay vintage bow purchases, they can also consolidate several packages from different sellers into one shipment.

I'm willing to help by buying tickets or with the extra bow.

I would need at least ten people to help make this happen.  So far, I have 3. Ten people would give us $100, not much but at least some, enough to help. And I still need someone to step up with a PayPal.

Hey sleek , I appreciate what you are doing here.  Great gesture.  Not sure how many international bowyers are involved at this time but I am one who is paying for shipping, "anywhere".  Ideally I would like to pay no more than $100 but I am committed at this point and will stick to my "anywhere" status, no matter the cost.  fyi.

[sleek]

You may be right, we may have all overseas shipping covered.  Im not sure, but I was going to do this anyway to help when it was needed. Im surprised at the lack of participants for this. It may not work anyway.  Gonna give it a few more days.

[duke3192]

One of us could open up a bank account with $ from the tickets, don't say it is a business, then open a paypal account, nobody's personal account would be connected to it. A  comment from my wife, she's smart.

[duke3192]

I also committed to anywhere, but still believe the participation of members would be great.

[JoJoDapyro]

I'm in for a ticket or two if you don't have me down already.

[lebhuntfish]

I would take a ticket myself. Just let me know where to send the money! Patrick
