Ladies and Gentlemen,While I plan on contributing regularly to the campaign I am distinctly aware of the need to give all I can. To that end I am announcing my "Auctioning for Huckabee" personal donation engine.
Here is how this program works and what I need from you.
You:
Go to my Ebay store
Find something you like at regular store prices
Buy it
Alternate method:
Go to my website: http://www.learningdirectives.com/
Find things you want.
Email me: auctionsforhuck@spencer-family.org and let me know what you want and your ship to address.
If I have it in stock you will get a Paypal invoice from me along with a note saying how much will go to Gov. Huckabee.
My commitment:
I will list what remaining inventory I have from my store a few items most days
- I have been selling educational toys, games, and products
- My product line was purchased at wholesale prices. IE: Roughly 50% off MSRP
When an item sells and I have confirmed payment, I will donate to Mike through my Ranger account (which you can view on any page in my blog).
My donation will be 100% of the profit (profit is profit: IE: I need to cover my seller expenses, original product costs, shipping)
I will then ship your purchase to you and complete my end of the transaction.
You can rest assured that your purchase does contribute directly to Mike because you will be able to watch my Ranger accounts numbers go up. My rating on Ebay is 160 positive transactions with no negatives. 100%. I'm not going to risk a negative review after 10 years on Ebay.
Help me help Mike by participating in Auctioning for Huckabee.
You can also help advertise this fundraising by linking to this page using the following code:
Quick Faq:
Q: Who can do this?
A: Anyone in the US. You are not contributing to Mike. I will be. So even if you have maxed out your contribution, this would be a way for you to keep giving to him.
Q: Why are you not charging more than MSRP for the stuff you are selling?
A: I want everyone to get a "fair" price for what they are buying. This is a way to give Mike money but it's not a charity service. I will report the profit as income and will have to pay taxes on it.
Q: So this is a way for you to give without paying anything?
A: No, there is a fairly huge opportunity cost for me in that I have to use a bunch of time to write the listings, manage the program, etc. Plus I am giving 100% of the profit. I will be paying income tax and that will ultimately come out of my pocket.
Q: How can I know that the donations are being made?
A: Just watch my Ranger account numbers. They will go up by the amount that I tell you was made on the transaction when I confirm that your purchase has been shipped.
Q: Why are you doing this? It seems like a huge pain for such a little bit.
A: It is a pain but every little bit helps Mike and I sincerely want to help him.
Q: Why are you paying for an Ebay store?
A: It was costing $0.95/item to list them for 7 day fixed priced auctions. It costs much less to do store inventory listings and they last 30 days. Overall it looked like it would decrease my operating expenses and increase my ability to donate to Gov. Huckabee.
Q: How can I help you with this?
A: Even if you can't make a purchase send people to this web page by creating a link to it. If you want an Icon to use with the link use my "Auctions for Huckabee" icon.
Q: How much can you raise through this?
A: My goal is at least $500. With some luck (and lots of work) maybe we can max out our contributions.
Q: Why can't I just buy right from your website?
A: Couple of big reasons: 1. It's broken and 2. My stock is out of date
Q: I can find it for less from someone else. Will you price match?
A: Send me an email and ask me, include where you found it. If you can get it below my costs then there is no point in price matching, I would take a loss and would not be able to support Gov. Huckabee. If it is someplace between my cost and MSRP then I certainly will match it and will still be donating the profit!
Thanks so much helping me help Mike!
Sincerely,
Chris Spencer (Votingforhuck)
