Raffle idea?

I kinda agree with this. Charity is nice and all, but let's see how this first run goes and then plan from there. If only 30 people contribute at $5 each, that's $150. 33% to charity would leave the certificate good for just under $100, which doesn't even cover most ESCs or motors.

And as far as using "gift" for PP so they don't charge the fee: I wonder if they will catch on if so many people are contributing "gifts" in $5 increments?

Do they do anything with the donations for your calculator? Or how about for the laptop gift that was done?

I don't receive enough donations for them to catch, lol. I may have a month where I get 2, then nothing the next month. That's ok of course, just stating that PP doesn't care when it's at that level. But, if all of a sudden I get 50 X $5 donations, they might get suspicious.
