If you want to indulge in profit, I hear you too. Make your
classifieds intellectual to me, and I'll try to make them open for
fair trade. Let me know. Thank you for helping out the community,
even for individuals who are as accomplished as some. Thank you

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. We, at this co-op,
don't enrich ourselves, but we sure enrich any biker we find in free
or cheap parts, labor, and well-being, as we are trying to promote
biking as a safe and justifiable alternative to car traffic.

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...
