Um yeah, there goes another 200 dollars.
Check is in the Mail. WAIT! I see someone is trying to Bogart Tickets. They will try to better their odds by procuring more Tickets. Buying the Lottery. OK Mitt Romney remember what happened to Pablo Escobar when he tried to buy every Edition of the Sunday El Tiempo.
Maybe there is, Maybe there isn't another check in the Mail.
After this I am going to just Buy one. Really I am.

You know if we could pay with paypal, this would be much easier and safer. Just a suggestion.

Except they'd take a pretty decent chunk of the money for themselves.

Not a problem with checks, money orders either, they clear, I send the raffle tickets, they bounce, I'll be keeping track of who gets what ticket numbers.......

I would pay the extra 3%. If you add check cashing or Money order fees. Even the price of a stamp. But most of all the convenience of Pay Pal. It's well worth it. But if it will make it easier for TS to send me the Knife, check is good to.
I won't miss out on this one...you can play, but you ain't gonna win...:boohoo

A forum member and parent of an SF soldier has donated a plaque to place the Green Beret knife on...... This is an extremely high quality plaque and made to attach the Yarbrough knife.
This plaque will be added to the current Green Beret knife raffle.:D
Team Sergeant
The plaque looks nice, thanks to the Person who was kind enough to donate it. One question......Will it require you to drill a hole thru the knife for mounting?:D
The plaque is pre-drilled and contains mounting hardware that is shipped with the plaque. Detailed mounting instructions are provided as well. If you look at your Yarborough, Green Beret or Pacific knife (any of them will work with this plaque), you'll notice that the handles are secured by a machine screw/nutsert arrangement. All you have to do is remove (2) of the screws using a 1/8" allen wrench, hold the knife to the plaque, insert the longer machine screws (supplied) through the pre-drilled holes in the plaque and tighten them up. Very simple and very secure -and no damge to your knife. The plaque has wall hangers already mounted on the back, so you can mount it on the wall or display it on a plate holder. It's made out of 1/2" thick acrylic, laser routed with flame polished edges making it look like glass, with high quality automotive type vinyl graphics depicting the SF crest. It's the real deal for the Quiet Professionals. I was proud to make one for my son, and will be proud to provide one to any Quiet Professional or owner of the Chris Reeve knives . I hope my donation pumps up the sales benefitting the PS site. Hey Team Sergeant - where's my raffle tickets??????
Regards,
Dan

I wasn't serious about drilling a hole in the Knife. But, thanks again for the Plaque, that sounds like it will work out great. Now......where to hang it.........
INow......where to hang it.........
It will look great in my living room. :D

Heads up!
You need not fill out every ticket with name address phone number…..
Since we’re not selling millions of raffle tickets I have logged the name, ticket serial numbers, how many and what color the ticket is, yes we’re using a few different ticket colors. I have ensured that even the different color tickets have different serial numbers.
Just make a simple mark on each raffle ticket, like a line that transects both tickets. Keep the one that says “Keep this Coupon” send me back the other. (If there is a dispute we’ll simply match up the lines, since they are all serial numbered there should be no disputes……;))
On Dec 15th we’ll hold the drawing and name the winner.
You people that are purchasing $100 worth, I hate you;), you will be receiving brown envelopes that my dog licked to close.
And you that purchased more than $100 worth, have fun marking those tickets! I hate you most of all. :D
We're quickly closing on $1000 worth of tickets sold.

Send those checks!

I also got a call from the TS this AM telling me that I had won the raffle! I had been up late last night watching some Netflick movie DVDs. So, I was still in bed with the TV on, sort of sleepaly watching the CBS Sunday Morning, when the phone rang.
My first thought was who the heck was calling me this early, on a Sunday morning, must be trouble! :confused:
TS told me that I had won the knife! I was in a state of SHOCK! I could hardly talk!
What a great way to wake up!! I'm overwhelmed! What a great Christmas present! I'll cherish it!
Thanks PS for a GREAT Knife! :D
