Questions questions, need answers...

Mon Oct 12, 2009, 10:11 PM
Hey guys, so I've been scavenging for a way to do the finances for the Art FTW that doesn't include me putting the money into my personal account and then donating to the two organizations out of my personal account, because what that really looks like is tax fraud. Not that a broke pre-med/art student has any assets to be seized, but I'd like to keep off the big brother list for as long as I can.

One of the solutions that I've found is to do pre-orders for the book through an ebay listing and use the Ebay Giving Works program to donate the proceeds directly to the organizations and just keep the portion that I need to purchase the books. This solution has some fw problems, to which I've come with some solutions (@.@) can you guys look over this and tell me if I've completely lost my marbles while cramming for this next biochem test?

I can only donate to one organization in a listing, but I can change this at any time when the listing is active. Which means, in order to separate the proceeds equally, I'll either have to come back periodically to change the donation designation (this can get messy) or I'll have to make two listings, one for each organization, but use a small quantity (like...5 or so) in each listing, so that the funds are distributed.

Secondly, does it MATTER if the proceeds are equally distributed? like, what if I just made one listing of 100 books to donate to susan g. komen and another for artists for humanity. in the end, the susan g. komen one sells 30 copies and the artists for humanity one sells 60 copies. would anyone (especially the artists in the book) be upset with this outcome? Honestly, I don't have a problem with doing it this way.

Alright, weigh in, people. and i'm going to go back to studying.

I saw your table at OniCon and my friend bought 2 big prints... I basically made her buy "the forgetful dancer"--we ogled at it for a good five minutes... lovely, lovely art!

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

So I heard back on the San Japan table, I guess you have too. :3 What is your hotel situation? I have another friend who's already got a hotel, just wanted to offer and see what you're doing.

We got a table (yay :3), and I think we have (mostly) the same big group that we went to akon with, so I....need to get a move on and book a hotel room.

So when I was packing to leave A-kon, your HUGE print wouldnt fit in my bag. o____o ....... So ~RadiusZero has it at the moment until I can see her again at San Japan. Speaking of which, would you be willing to share a table with me? :3 I emailed to get on the waitlist, hopefully we'll both end up with tables, but Jessi is already sharing with someone else. Three of us would make one cramped little table so I'd rather share with you or someone else. X_X
