I'll take 4 of them, I wish you had these on you when I ran into you.

 

[SoPoHunter]

The actual tickets wont be here until Thursday. Just putting this out there early. When you ran into me I was at the post office hoping to pick up the rod but the treasurer already had it.

 

[BrownTrout]

rats, foiled again, grab me four if you would and I can swing by next weekend. Or I can put the cash in the mail today to the Austin PO, whatever you prefer. I need one more plate for the jeep to if you got it

 

[SoPoHunter]

I've got about 50 license plates still. Just stop by and pick your tickets up. It's easier than mailing them. I'll be home all weekend.

 

[BrownTrout]

Thanks man! I call first before I head over.

you would have to be a fool to take $300. i think that reel is a little big but at the same time. i think the rod alone costs that much. thats probably in reality a $600 package retail.

 

[SoPoHunter]

Very valid point.

Orvis Retail is $495.00 for the rod. $198.00 for the reel. $69.00 for the line. Total is $762.00 before any tax or anything.

However, with 300 woman working in the office with me and the VP we figured it would sell more tickets than just a rod would and if someone took the money we could raffle the rod again before Christmas. I know quite a few non sportsman that do not know the value of this rod that will buy the ticket for a chance a $300.00 even though they could probably sell the rod for more.

 

[SoPoHunter]

Ok, I've got the tickets in hand now if anyone would like one.

 

[BrownTrout]

see you sunday

 

[SoPoHunter]

We have about 400 tickets left to sell. Anyone else interested?

 

[SoPoHunter]

Getting down to the wire. Lucky winner will be drawn August 17th

 

[Eggman]

I'll take a books worth.

 

[SoPoHunter]

Browntrout is the winner!! 1 person from HPA bought tickets and he won the rod.

Congrats man, you can pick the rod up at my house when you are at camp.

Thanks bud, I responded below in the fly fishing forum.
