WrkHrdPlayHrdr 04/05/21 9:58:53 AM #1:	I saw a facebook post in my local group that one of the local firehouses is raffling off a PS5 with 90 chances at 10 dollars a chance. Is this scalping? Is it viewed differently because it's for a good cause? Genuine question on other peoples views. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:952485783] in Are PS5 ra...

WrkHrdPlayHrdr 04/05/21 10:55:20 AM #6:	Returning_CEmen posted... How is it scalping if you can win the PS5 for less than retail price? The charity itself is selling a 500 dollar item for 900 dollars, much like the scalpers do. The only difference is in this case it goes to a fire house, in the case it goes in to some dudes pocket. What makes it scalping? The person selling it making a huge profit? Or is it only scalping when it's one person buying it at the huge markup and maybe not in this case since it's a raffle. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:952487331] in Are PS5 ra...

Returning_CEmen 04/05/21 11:03:16 AM #11:	Hmmm the wording is confusing. I read that as 100 raffle tickets for $9, but it says $9 a chance. I cant imagine why they would cap it at 100 that makes no sense <cite>Returning_CEmen posted [p:952487600] in Are PS5 ra... [t:79388559]...</cite> <quote>Hmmm the wording is confusing.

WrkHrdPlayHrdr 04/05/21 11:05:21 AM #12:	they can be worded weird sometimes. But this one is 100 percent: 100 chances at 9 dollars each for a total of 900 dollars spent on tickets. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:952487662] in Are PS5 ra...
