    then why did you bring it up smartass?

    you've been given a breakdown of expenses, yet you complain about his low profit margin, citing that he should change distributors. do you know ANYTHING about how the resale market works? probably not. i do because i used to work in that field. donations CAN be included as an expense, because it is a distribution of cash. in accounting terms, it is treated as such.

    i believe adam when he takes the time to put down what expenses the raffle proceeds will go toward. this is EXACTLY like the instance when people demanded to know what i did with the advertising revenue, as if you were entitled to know. he didn't have to tell you, but he did so because people come out and claim scam, like you and rose did.

    now that he's done so ray, you tell him he needs to find new distributors. racing extreme has offered dirt cheap pricing, also at the cost of profit margin, but do you gripe about that? do you tell him to get new distributors? how do you know he's not purchasing direct from the manufacturer? point is, you don't know.

    i'll tell you what. if you don't like the raffle or agree with the concept, then STFU and don't waste anyone's time with your comments. keep them to yourself. same goes for anyone else. if you think it's a scam, DON'T PARTICIPATE.

    personally, i don't think it is a scam and i thought it was a good idea. so did a few others who bought tickets. it's a shame that two people can come in and ruin an entire thread with what i feel are baseless claims.

              Okay, the bottom line is if you don't like the idea of the raffle and think it's a 'scam' and think I'm a bad person, or I'm stealing your money and my prices are too low for you to comprehend then

              DON'T BUY A TICKET


              It's that simple

                I have helped with this thread, I beleive in the raffle and purchased a ticket, right after the raffle started.
                You however haven't purchased a ticket 93Mx6er so since you haven't contributed to the raffle, their is no need for your post.

                  adam cleary showed in an earlier thread where most of his profits from this raffle are going... towards advertising!!!! gee, if you only you had taken the time to read that before replieing.

                  GForce is a fairly young and not really all that well known yet throughout the industry. as with any startup business, especially smaller internet based businesses, there are no regular day-today-day transactions (i am not trying to imply that GForce doesn't have at least one sale per day. i really wouldn't know. ) to draw funds from for expantion, advertising or any other larger business expenses. as adam broke it down for you... his profits are minimal. enought to be profitable in a theoretical sense, but not really enough to cover the advertising costs that this raffle is paying for.

                  alright, enough from me. adam, please correct me if i am wrong with any of the above.
