Ed Mack Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Another set added to the Bundle #5...70728 Battle for Ninjago City from member geno! THAT"S TEN SETS SO FAR!!! Quote
Veegs Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Sales have been good, so more tickets for me! With the awesomeness of Bundle 5, I'm targeting that next. Quote
Quagmire Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I will buy a few tickets. Just a thought but it would be cool if you could do the 7 tickets for $50 thing but be able to spread out the tickets to which sets people would like (instead of being stuck to just one). 1 Quote

It's not my system. Maybe I can suggest that to them for future offerings. Quote

jmdt Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 One thing I thought about is that Brickpickers that have a Target Red Card can specify St. Paul as their specified "Take Charge of Education" so that 1% of their purchases get donated. It's ending May of this year but could help out. Costs nothing but time to add the school to your Red Card account. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Target has stopped that program unfortunately. At least that is what I was told by the school PTA. I looked into it a couple of months ago for my son's school and from target's website it is active now but will end in May 2016. 1 Quote

Lazarus Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Well I only bought the one ticket, but its a great thing your doing. Hopefully will buy a couple more before the end of the month. 3 Quote
Thumper Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Just a note: If you are nervous about using your credit card on-line or internationally etc. for something like this... I just purchased another batch of tickets to add to my previous 7 (was this a ploy, adding new really cool items ongoingly???) ...anyway, I just used one of those generic nameless drugmart gift-card, pre-paid masted cards everyone gets for Christmas & usually never gets around to using (or simply doesn't have any free cc slots in their wallet so they float around the desk for months) and it was accepted without any problem. Even with the US conversion from it's Canadian host $ value. enter the number, exp date, and code from the back, Trick is instead of entering your own name in the boxes at payment you enter the name printed in scrolly font on the card - in my case it was "Ideal Choice" (without the "The" preceeding the name). seems to work just fine, got an acceptance message & receipt. it's easy. 3 Quote

At least that is what I was told by the school PTA. There's also the Amazon Smile program from Amazon, where a percentage of member purchases go to a specific charity, in this case, the school. In that case people could be donating the next time they order anything from Amazon without paying any extra.

As a follow up to this, here is the link from the Target website. https://www-secure.target.com/redcard/tcoe/home. The program ends 5/14/16. My understanding is that this is based on your using the redcard. So if you have an affiliate link, both your school and the affiliate (i.e., bp) can benefit. Quote
banshee3 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 In the end if you don't reach your goals, I hope you guys won't take it personal and can feel proud of what you have accomplished. Quote

It takes months to get approved, but it works nicely once implemented. 1 Quote

exciter1 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm ready to run some auctions for my BrickPicker tour outfits. Scarves, leather pants, belts, chains, hats, etc. 1 Quote
Armor Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I sold my last Lego hero factory 7179 for 140.50 when I bought it for 8 at a Lego store. I would love to put all the profit I got into your raffle but I am in a bit of a pinch myself in needing money as well. I will just need to get something sorted out after my purchasing of my new books for my semester and I might have some more left over to donate. I will get at least 3 tickets worth before the raffle ends if nothing else, I can guarantee you that. 2 Quote
CoastaLego Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 New here but happy to support. two tickets from me and I will probably go back and purchase another 1 Quote
