Great keep it. I tried to do a good thing and even go beyond trying to see the point. If you dont like it just leave and keep it.

Thanks

The impression from your first post was that you were selling these packs for $10 apiece, incentivized by the chance to win the Mantle, in order to donate 100% of any sales to disaster victims.

It was then uncovered that it was actually your intention to take $2k or $3k out for your cost of the Mantle.

Now, you will not take any funds out for your cost of the Mantle IF you sell 2,000 packs.

If this is accurate?

My take, for what it's worth. I think Jason is doing a great thing AND I think his heart IS in the right place. That is what really matters to me. A bit better communication on the front end would have avoided some of this mess. But, when I step back and look at the big picture, to me, Jason is still doing a hell of a nice thing for those in need. I was, and am, happy to contribute and help. If anyone else feels differently, and they still want to help those in need, then they can easily donate to the Red Cross in that area. No matter what, this thread and Jason helped raise awareness for fellow mankind that is in desperate need. Kudos for that......

YES at this point considering I was in a hurry when I posted originally and didnt clarify as well as I should have, I will donate the Mantle 100% if we get all or most all packs sold. I have said this a few times on both forums. They continue to pick and trash me on CU....a few of them. I see the point of clarity, but I have tried my best to remedy the suspect issue. Regardless........we have raised $1200 so far and only 1 person has asked for a refund so alot of good people believe in this. We all dont have the means or cashflow to donate big amounts when tragedy hits, but in my case I had extra nice cards that I had never planned to sell on ebay and do not personally collect. I dont have a whole lot in them, but they could be used for a cause such as this and I had plenty. I should have left the Mantel of out the equation, but I wanted to stir up interest and raise alot for these folks in a little amount of time, even if I had to use a hook from my own collection.

Thanks

I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally the prospect of the Mantle had nothing to do with my donation. It was just kind of iffy how it came out that money would be taken out. I still think you're doing a great thing if 100% of the money people given to you is donated. Best of luck in raising more money for this great cause.

[JasonD08]

Again......100% of net proceeds will go straight to help victims. Thanks for the donation and enjoy the cards!

Thank you so much. Due to the spewing over on CU I have refunded 2 donators so far. Still sending packs in hopes they see through it. My intentions are sincere and it breaks my heart to see some jerk try to stir things up. I will post everyone on how exactly funds will help.
