I've let this go on a bit...on both sub-forums. Here's my stance on this (& future) builds. I hope we can come to some sort of agreement.
In the past, we have run builds with various ways for the "winner" to pay. One way was a raffle, in which everyone contributing an equal amount for a number (usually 1-100) pick and a slight discount if they wanted a small bundle/batch of numbers. "THIS" way, I have "NEVER" been 100% paid and have said nothing because we always covered the "cost" of the knife. "THIS" way I will not do again!
We have also offered number choices for "ZERO" monies up front, with the winner to pay all charges. "THIS" way has worked, with a couple of exceptions (meaning the "winner" changed his/her mind) and I would be in favor of "THIS" way.
If I didn't enjoy running ram-rod on these builds, I would not have fostered many..."MANY" of them!
