£3000 deposit......
where will that be held pending delivery?
seems like an exceptional bargain -
maybe too good?
I would be wary and need more details before considering putting money down as a deposit.
A check with the Countryside Raffle Offer people at very least!!!

tickets were £40 a piece quiet and 3,000 only avaiable. If you did not want the prize then the term 'More money than sense' comes to mind. ooo

To give a comparison retail clothing shops work on a markup of at least 100%. That's why they can have end of season sales with high discounts and still make a profit.
