I think your audio equipment luck has been used up, Jack.
This is an excellent idea, Craigs. A great way to coax the natural generosity from all of us.

The tickets are not even ready for sale yet, so I think you are going to be OK there ...
We do have a Paypal account here, so setting this up should not be too difficult.
The COOL part of this, 100% of the funds raised will be for the charity as selected. There will be no "cost of goods" factored out.

Now lets get one think straight here. I was SELECTED by 3 people who made a conscious decision. Luck played no part in it. I was deserving, not lucky  .
Therefore my "luck" is still unused and remains the same as before. OH OH! I've never WON anything, so if my luck remains intact, that means..........................OH CRAP!

Jack, You need to remember this one important detail: When we get the tickets ready for sale, you will have to BUY one in order to have a chance of winning ...

bugbitten - you actually have an idea here - If everyone agrees, we could have ticket numbers 1 to 100 - and you will be assigned your number based on the check arriving.
Then we have a drawing after all 100 are here, and announce the winning number.
Each night, unless I am out of town on biz, I would post the checks received, and each person's number.
This way, $2500 comes in, and back out again.
I send Axiom a check for the EP-600, and it gets delivered.
Is everyone ok with this ?

The only problem with PayPal is they take 3% off the top. Other than that, they are good. Anyone else want to opine ?
