Just a suggestion, but maybe better off doing a raffle. Set it up to be drawn after a set amount of tickets are sold....be able to get more that the street value of the tools that way. I know I for one am more likely to spend say $25.00 for 3/4 entries than I am able to afford $500.00+ for tools. Times that by how ever many active users say 67 = $1675.00. Just my .02 worth.
Not to put a damper on it, but would a raffle be legal?? I am in favor of it but have no idea of the legal ramifications in this state. If not, than a minimum bid would be in order for an auction.
