I like that idea! Organize the event and get the raffle done prior to the
deadline for free shipping. I could then have it shipped to the person and I'll
pay for it with the money collected. That would be easy.

Not so fast Brian. I could certainly have it shipped to me, then it doesn't
matter if I ship it to you. The problem would be the cost. Not knowing the
weight, I would have to project how much it would cost and plan that into the
total cost of the set. You would have to pay in USD though.
