No Reinstatement Store Now Open

[BAC]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the profits from the store going to be used for? I can't keep up with all the threads, I did see that they will be sent to Snowbird and I know she is absolutely trustworthy, but what will be done with the money?

[horse_poor]

there is no profit from the store-they are being sold at cost. The only way there would be a profit is if a whole bunch of stuff sold and Cafe Press offered a bonus, which is unlikely to happen, if it were to happen it would automatically go to Snowbird, because her address, etc is listed as Payee. She has a No Rein. fund set up. She would need be the one to ask about the specifics .

I hope so too!

Just placed my order for all kinds of fun stuff, including stuff to hand out at Avery's art opening. Thanks again for all your hard work on this, horse_poor!!

BigDawg, if you REALLY want a beer stein, you're gonna have to PM me your address...

[horse_poor]

Yay Liz! It looks as if everyone's stuff has been produced and is on its way to its new homes-

[blubays]

Sure hope someone is getting some of this stuff down to the WEF, HITS, Indio or any horse shows out there.

[horse_poor]

Well, I plan on wearing it to the shows around here--certainly not anywhere near the afore mentioned places, but at least it will get people thinking!

And I know that 25 of the bracelets are going to be worn by people in the WPB area--Equus Now ordered 25 for that purpose!

[horse_poor]

Anticipation, you would not be alone-according to the order history, quite a few thongs have been sold--perhaps people want a little something nice to go under the TS's??!!

[SGray]

well since christmas is past and I am too impatient to wait for birthdays I suppose my order will be a President's Day gift for my friends

[horse_poor]

That's the spirit SGray!

Good God. You ARE kidding, right??

[horse_poor]

WA, no I am not--since I am the "store owner" I have access to see how much of what has sold.

I find it amusing that we are laughing about the infamous thong and Aunt Esther even suggested it be taken away, but, it is popular!

Other than the thong and the stickers, which have been "heavy sellers," a little bit of everything has been purchased. I thought one shirt in particular might have been popular but there does not seem to be just one- I am going to get the canvas tote to use as a "tool box" for shows

[horse_poor]

I just got my No Rein sticker and it is on my car with my USEFand USDF sticker

[blubays]

I am still laughing about all those thongs being ordered.

[horse_poor]

Well, I would not say "all those" as in thousands of them being ordered...but a few have! And unless people drop their TS's to show them off, we will never know who they are!

I am getting a pair of boxers to wear around the house, and if they are not too see thru, I will wear them at shows when I am braiding/bathing, etc. And if they were see thru and I was a thong kinda gal, which I am not, I would wear the thong, too!

I thought you wernt allowed to use these forums to sell crap.

I might not object if the whackos at least gave credit where it's do - the I Hate Paul Bake Sale was Sean Rogers' idea.

[horse_poor]

They are not being sold for profit, Sheila, and they come from a collective effort of people on the board.

And again, thanks for the bump!

[Sheila H]

No profit? Imagine that!! I guess that means I can use the coth board every time I sell a horse and dont make $.

dope

[horse_poor]

It is an actual non profit group, Sheila. With a NFP tax ID number.

But, if you want to use the COTH BB every time you "sell a horse and dont make $," then go ahead. Not quite sure what the purpose would be, though.

"Hey guys I just sold a horse and did not make any money off of it!!!!!" Um, what's the point, other than showing off either your lack of marketing skills or unfortunate investment planning?

[Sheila H]

Does your styupid tax evasion scheme require you to pay Mr Rogers for the brilliant idea?

[horse_poor]

Sheila, you are so sweet, couth, and classy--I am going to get you a beer NO REINSTATEMENT! beer stein to match the one War Admiral is ordering for Big Dawg!

And you will have to check with Snowbird about what Mr. Rogers says concerning the non profit. This is the first I have heard about Mr. Rogers being involved, but then, maybe he is like Charlie from Charlie's Angels and never makes an appearance. But, I think Mr. Rogers is dead. Or is that Dr. Suess? I know Dr. Suess is dead and I think Mr. Rogers is dead but do not care enough to Google it and see if he really is dead. But for the sake of argument, let's say he is dead. Now, that is something since Snowbird is allegedly paying Mr. Rogers for tax advice. Perhaps the animal communicator spoke with Mr. Rogers since he was probably in the animal area feeding the fish anyway and advised Snowbird about taxes through the AC.

But, if that is the case then Mr. Rogers need to be fired because his scheme is not much of a scheme at all. I mean, what the hell kind of tax evasion racket is it when there is no profit to scheme and evade with? I am going to talk to the AC and tell him/her to talk to Mr. Rogers and say, "Mr. Rogers, help a sister out here. Let's say one of the NO REINSTATEMENT! shirts cost $13.99 through Cafe Press. And we are setting the price at $13.99 in the Cafe Press NO REIN store...how in the hell can we have a tax evasion scheme if there is no difference in the cost and therefore no profit?!"

IMHO, Mr. Rogers sucks as a tax evasion scheme planner person.
