I am concerned that tickets are priced at 1/20th the value but ticket amounts are capped at 10. Doesn’t this mean you’ll get only half-value max for these items for charity?

Preordered and received then put games on it and never touched it again aside from regular recharge. Probably there's lots of new recompilations for it.

Pocket projector
Sony MP-CD1
https://www.projectorcentral.com/Sony-MP-CD1.htm
105 Lumen laser Pico projector native 854x480 resolution
Bought used, and the battery has never been able to play a full movie; Estimated 25-30 minutes lately despite years of leaving it fully charged and regular cycling. I found replacement batteries for sale. I've many times used it on the full wall of a portable lunch trailer to entertain a crew during night-shift down-time as I kept it in the top pouch of my lunch bag. Realistically it looks best at about 50" in a fully darkened room.
Includes tripod, short HDMI cable, PD USB-C to HDMI adapter, USB C-C power cable, USB C to USB A power cable, and (Not Pictured)30W USB A&C portable charging cube.
Also included a near-new mostly unused Anker Soundcore 2 12w bluetooth speaker with listed 24 hour playtime (I couldn't test to see, but it's at least 11 hours at best high volume). Includes USB charging cable and long 2.5mm headphone patch cable.
I would suggest running everything off a power bank, but with the included wall charger and utilizing the USB out port of the projector you could/ power your phone along with all these devices indefinitely. I used a RAVPower 30w 26800Mah power bank I got for $50 and it powered everything for a full 10.5 hour shift with enough juice for a couple more full cellphone charges before it needed a recharge. Great for camping as everything's so small
All accessories necessary to make an android phone into a mediocre movie projector and still pocketable (in cargo shorts).

I'd like 3 tickets on Hyperstone Heist. I'll donate the funds tonight (I'm at work right now). Eyeballing that GBA, but I'll hold off for now. I won't hold off forever, though, I suspect.

I'm also interested in getting a few raffle tickets for Hyperstone Heist and possibly the modded GBA.

Just curious, would you be able to share pictures of the items available, Blu?

Hey All!

Questions floating out there, let's get some answers.

Marurun: I'm okay with undervaluing my items. I won't speak on Anapan's behalf, because he can determine how much he'd like to raffle his items off. But for me, please consider it my 11th anniversary gift of being a member of the community. The price of retro collecting is absolutely bonkers these days.

So, it's a win win if Meat Fight and The National MS Society raises funds and my fellow Racketeers receive some sweet games at reasonable prices.

SpaceBooger: I think two weeks for starters. So let's go with Sunday, June 18th as the initial cut-off, in the chance that these raffles are slow to fill. However, once an item has filled, I'll work on getting the raffle itself scheduled so that I can mail it to the winner.

Note: I can certainly get some photos snapped and I'll link an imgur link sometime this evening, early tomorrow (Monday) at the latest.

Bump!
Updated my donations with details & more pics.
I also anticipated my donated items being undervalued - both to encourage member involvement, and to ensure community members receive a good deal at the end. They are neglected and I want them to be enjoyed by a fellow RacketBoy member. I agree as well - retro game prices are unreasonable!
My suggested prices per raffle ticket, tho I would allow OP to override these at his discretion:
GB lot: $5
Funkey S: $10
Projector: $10

Would you be able to ship to Canada? It is still North America, but it will cost a bit more.
