Mcrae Print On Ebay

[the squiggle]

There is a lesson to be learned here.

A number of posters/prints etc have been printed and sold with proceeds going towards charity.

The objective was achieved.

You now have a situation where people are selling *their* purchased print for whatever personal reasons. In terms of profiteering from the sale, this goes on no matter who or what it is and will never stop, however, there are a number of people selling collectibles who have no interest in the item they are selling.

In the case of the above auction, i get the impression she couldn't care less who Colin Mcrae was and why should she? She's got *clutter* in her home that's no use to her, means nothing to her, it reminds her of her ex,, why shouldn't she sell the print?. She's found out it's worth a bit of money. The money for the print has already been paid for charity purchases, why should she conform to others passion for Colin?

The lesson is if one goes down that route of selling merchandise for charity purposes in the future is an agreement that the merchandise cannot be sold on for profit over the original purchase price. This means that they can sell it for what they paid for it (charity has already got their money), but should they sell for greater than purchase price, the difference is paid to the charity. Simple, as non compliance leaves them open to being sued for breach of contract.

Agree wholeheartedly

With hindsight i would have done one or two things different
