I wouldn't think of blasting you, but I do believe you've been had.

So they say. Maybe you can.

> Plus its a christian organization.

Well I'm a Christian too, and the words "christian organization" don't give me one bit of comfort when the "christian organization" is asking for money. (Can we all spell P-T-L C-L-U-B?)

I hope it goes well for you, but the boards I checked all seemed to come to the same conclusion: "I have sent mine in but it's been xxx weeks and I haven't heard a thing yet." (surprise)

This isn't to say you can't sell them, as you are hoping. You can sell just about anything if you try hard enough I guess. But I'm sure the majority of people who go into this are attracted by the "no selling" promise.

> Don't blast me now. You gotta go out on a lim on here sometimes

Yup, as long as you can live without the $69.95 I guess there's no great harm done.

You know what I think would be a *really* Christian thing to do?

I think this guy could put *tons* of local people to work -- moms who want to stay home with their kids, people who are out of work and desperate for an income, people who need a little extra to make ends meet -- and if it's true that Christian bookstores snap them up, then he shouldn't have any trouble selling as many as he can get his hands on.

The materials obviously cost pennies, so the *really* Christian thing to do, in my opinion, would be to provide those supplies FREE to all the local people he would be helping -- and who would be helping him by producing his product for him, for which they would be paid per piece at the time of completion, just as if they were working for a legitimate company. That way, everybody wins -- and nobody is risking their $69.95. (BTW, he would not be risking anything either, because local people could make two or three crosses, and he would only have to provide more supplies once they proved they could do the job.)

Promising to buy back as many as you can make, plus reimburse you for supplies and postage, is exactly the same M.O. as every other assembly offer out there, only this one is hiding behind Christianity to suck in the believers.

Maybe it's legit. I doubt it, but do come back and let us know.

Good luck.

Luv,
