Those are all really good ideas! In this instance, I have a Hom Chinchilla foundation stud that I don’t use much anymore. I’d like to find him a new home where he can be beneficial. The idea is that I charge enough per ticket to get a fair price for him (assuming I get decent participation) while offering him to the buyer for a bargain price. Also just a change of pace. I used to do forum auctions frequently on a different horse game and really enjoyed running them.

I'm not too sure if it would be allowed, since you'd have members paying for something that they may or may not get. I know that auctions for a horse creation slot aren't allowed, because that horse didn't technically exist yet.

@Prism one problem with your current hypothetical is that with a closed gene horse, your possible participation pool is restricted to current owners of that license. If we own a license, most of us are full up on breeding stock with that gene...certainly on stallions.

As far as the legality of raffles, Ammit would have to weigh in there. If it is legal, you might have more luck raffling off a really nice mare rather than a stallion since most people can always find room for a special mare!

@Cheers I don’t see it as a problem at all. It’s an inexpensive way to add new foundation blood to your lines for significantly less than an outright purchase of a closed gene horse. But in this case it wasn’t really a profit making venture, just a different way to sell a horse I’m looking at moving while offering someone a killer deal. So, not really gunning for huge participation to make cash, just a fun way to sell a really unique stallion (genetically speaking).

@Ammit Thank you for letting me know! Kind of bummed that it isn’t an option
