TLDR: Would like to start a pedal club (only lower 48 states) where people pitch in roughly $20 bucks a month and we vote on a pedal, purchase it, and send it to the next guy. And during this we can raffle it off to one of the people in the club and the winner will get to keep the pedal after mailing chain.
So idk if this has ever been done before on SSO at least. Maybe this was attempted before with horrible results lmao, or is breaking some kinda rule if so please let me know. I would be willing to be the group manager or had the idea off to someone with a better rep. My plan is to have a vote and hear people's ideas for both this subject and pedals they would like to have that month. Next step would be getting at least 10 people to join per pedal run. We could do different catagories like Distortion/Drive, Delay/Reverb, Modulation, and maybe even utility pedals lol. Get 10 people to sign up for each category (people will have to provide good seller/buyer credentials -Reverb SSO ect.). People can then sign up, first come first served. And if people meet requirements a list can be made and everyone Paypal's their $20 to the manager. Manager then buys pedal that we voted on, checks it out and sends it to the next guy on mailing list. We could increase pitch in fee depending on price of pedal but I'm using a $200 dollar pedal for roughly 10 people at $20 each as a good example.
I know there's always going to be that factor of "lost in the mail". In that case I would just bite the bullet and pay everyone back.
I also would not include myself or (person managing) in the raffle to win the pedal. Being the first person to test the pedal should be more than enough for the manager lol. And if we get someone who just wants to be a dick and keep the pedal we'll at least know who it is and hopefully won't even have to deal with that if we have high entry standards. I also know that people will have to pay for shipping to the next person. The extra shipping expense kinda sucks but still should be around $25-$30 for entrance fee and rough shipping estimate all together. I would run this with as much transparancy as possible. And also people who win a pedal from the raffle will be put out of the next raffle until everyone has won something, then your name will be included in raffle again.
I know allot of the detals still need to be hammered out, but what do you guys think?
