How about setting up one of the following: 1. Donation rewards in the forms of official Idforums merchandise, or 2. Straight up selling Idforums merchandise to fund the forums directly. I am thinking baseball caps, tee-shirts, and so on. The first option would be easier to set up with no tax headaches, but the second one set up properly would be a potential tax shelter for Perry ( talk about killing two birds with one stone ). |

Would the manufacturing costs outweigh the potential profits? I have an idea I was waiting for IDW to get into the red to reveal... looks like it's time. Expect a post within a week! |

"Profit" would be very low, but it should not be hard to make $15 of profit. I am very intrigued by what your idea might be. This post has been edited by Möbius on Jul 11 2012, 06:14 PM | ||
