Thank yo man, you seem to understand how this works. I you have
profitable items, sell them at what you want. Otherwise, name a
price and let the masses indulge in your success. Let them know. We
can all benefit from riding and people that help the whole ordeal are
saints to me, man. You know you are doing so much for others. Give
me a shout! 765-418-1272, if you want to help the biking community
more, I'm sure I can help you out.

You sell them as you see fit. Nonprofit means you can't enrich your
self, but your organization is supposed to make a profit In this

What the heck does everybody's shop do with fancy items of special
worth to collectors? For example... perhaps you come upon a
donation of half a dozen 70s unused campi sidepull break sets. Your
stock of breaks is full, so throwing them in the bin or selling them
for 5$ or shlepping them on a Roadmaster seems like a waste. Is it
ethically ok for a non-profit to occasionally indulge collectors as
a source of surplus income? What about legally for a 501c3? Is it
necessary to launder them through a "buyer" who sells them at profit
and donates the difference?Erik _______________________________________________ Thethinktank mailing list Thethinktank@bikecollectives.org http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.o...
