Again, let me re-iterate. I want to do business with you, but first you have to prove to me that you ain't trolling. Post a picture of your "400,000" stock.
I always hated cats. But seriously, it's like you're trying to start a pyramid scheme on here. What's next? Are you gonna have us guys try to sell cutlery and the ladies sell make up/Tupperware? Oh and refer friends and make referral commission right? Seriously, don't bill it as charity if you're just aiming for profit as your biggest agenda
First of all, is it too late/a bad idea to capitalize on Katrina? Yes. But does OP deserve the massive **** storm and pile on from everyone here, as if he were a malicious villain? I don't think so. The guy is just trying to figure out how get rid of stock, while trying to make some money out of it. What percent donation does he have to get to to pacify you guys? 30%? 50%? Like he said, at least he's donating something. And isn't business about making money? Honestly, without operating at a loss, what would you do with a large quantity of something?
The question is rigged. For example, are we talking pure gold, or used hair gel? Maybe it's not possible to do it without operating at a loss.
If he out right came here and said hey, selling these in bulk. Wanna make a buck? No problem. But he was beating around the bush and tried to mask it with a fasad of charity to both Katrina, then blame FEMA and finally throw a couple bucks to our beloved clutch fans. Just be honest, NSA already knows everyone's full intentions haha
Original poster sleazy for doing this? YES. But I'll stop there, someone is just trying to make some dough.
You are the Hunt brothers of the rubber bracelets market. I suggest you focus on the Katy area during the next thunderstorm.

Poor guy should have just said, trying to sell bracelets and didn't mention anything about the charity.
Wouldn't have mattered. Nobody would've bought them anyway. He knew that which is why he tried to use the "It's for charity" angle.
because it was just as ****ty an idea back then. when I'm drunk and looking at boobies, I don't want to be reminded of horrific tragedies.
He didn't sell them when relevant because he didn't have them when relevant. Someone recently saw a sucker and offloaded unsellable product for something instead of nothing. OP is not a businessman, OP is stupid. The fact that he thought he could make $352,000 off rubber bracelets for a natural disaster from last decade is concrete, damning evidence. The charity angle is scummy. He deserves what he gets.
Probably just overstock from the charity that made them and the other guy said he would dispose of them. He probably was paid by the charity to get rid of them.
