My college club sold cookie dough for a fundraiser and later they decided that most of the funds would go to the person who made the sale.  I think that this is dishonnest.  Am I right?

Uh, what do you mean, the person who made the sale?  The person who thought it up?  Or did one person do everything?  If the latter is the case, then maybe they should get a LITTLE extra, but not most of it.  The idea of a CLUB fundraiser is to raise money for a CLUB, not for a person.  Duh.

Good grief Stefhaine,. how many times are you going to ask this same blatant cut and paste homework question? At least would you please post them in the homework section.\nLike you have been told before, you must talk to the other team members. How can you you expect to get buy-in from them without talking to them. YA can't do this for you. You must do this in concert with your team members.

I normally give out thousands of dollars all the time on the internet to complete strangers that are in need of loans.  Because obviously the Internet is the best place to meet trustworthy people.\n\nBut, I decided to quit doing that this past week ... sorry.

i would raise a contract....in my place of employment we won the national lottery a few years ago, there were 15 members and we would have got £330,000 each thats if the bastard responsible hadnt been pocketing the money himself and not putting the numbers on each week, we couldnt sue because we had no contract with him! it works both ways.

I don't have a problem with regifting....but give it to someone who will really enjoy it and appreciate it.   Also, give it to someone within a different circle of friends.  If you get something from a friend who is in your school circle and you regift it, give it to someone in your church circle.  Much less chance of being discovered and there will be no hurt feelings.

We did in Colorado.  Basically, employees and elected officials of the state of Colorado, can't even accept a meal.  They can't accept donations for their campaign for more than fifty dollars.  Everybody else needs to follow suit...By the way, it's sort of funny to see these jokers running around trying to cover their tracks about previous deals, and trying to figure out what they can get away with.

I believe that Those business have high egos, and wishing eagerly to take much money out of your pocket, I am also a business owner, but I don't think that the people who comes to my business should have to pay anything extreme. It is not right for business owners to have to lie, those who lie in their business do not have JESUS in their business! That is great of you to not sue the people who sold you that product. I once bought a product like that and it costed me some good money. The bad thing about it is that they did not explain everything to me, nor give me some instruction on how to use it. But oh well, I am going to try what you did, Not Sue the theives.

That's why a lot of companies starting splitting their donations between the parties over the last 6 months.  Sad, but true.  Special interest aren't exactly gone from capital hill, although I doubt things could be any more unethical than in the last 2 years.

If they are free, then there are no legal issues.  We used to have a fund raiser like this, accept we would sell suckers for a dollar, and with the sucker you got a free raffle ticket.

just say no the next time you are asked....you have no responsibility to buy anything from anyone...just say funds are tight. I don't buy these things from anyone...better to donate to the cause than to buy something the cause only gets about 5 cents on the dollar. fund raisers are really good for only one entity..the entity that manufactures the junk that is sold. I won't even buy my Grandson's stuff, I donate directly to the school instead. Good luck

Not necessarily- I have seen situations where a girl earns more then her guy and goes around advertising it to friends where ever she goes. That is intentionally hurtful to the guy. Generally - it shouldn't be an issue - I once earned less than my girl - now it is significantly the other way around - we just share and encourage each other.

If you are concerned with where the money goes, then give to those you see are in need around you. You know 100% of your gift went to help someone else and you won't have to worry about where your gift went. You will know, one person at a time.

OK; Hustling 101: DUDE, you deserved it. You are making it sound like you didn't know these guy from Adam. But something is telling me you did know one of them. Sounds like the one that was loosing. You are just too ashamed to say you know him. Well, if you didn't? WHAT EVER POSSESSED YOU TO RUST A STRANGER IN TO GIVING MONEY AWAY? HEY WHILE YOUR AT IT COULD YOU GIVE ME A MILLION FOR A SLOT???? \nSorry guy but you got hustled, flimflammed, bamboozled, horn swagged, and just plain SUCKERED. NO SNOOKER INVOLVED.  I was taught by the best pool players in Arkansas and the southern district for many of years and that was one of the first things that he taught me. \n\nNever and I mean never loan any money to anyone for any wager on billiards. \nNever tip your hand early.\nNever underestimate anyone. \n\nI have ticked a lot of players off when they start that crap playing and acting like their trying. Once they do that I never put any effort into it. Then I look them in the eyes and tell them to quit playing around if they want me to be serious with them. Then they realize that I know who they are.

It is a scheme...\n\nThere are thousands way that a fool is parted with his money.  \nWhen things are too good to be true...well guess what?\n\nI liked this one done around here not too long ago:\n\nAn African man in a shopping mall asks an elderly man if he knows of any charity that he can donate his money to.  He said that he has $250,000.  and he needs to give it to donate it to a worthy cause, but he is not around here and does not know who to trust.\n\nAnother person from the same team gets involved.  For some reason in order for trust to be built...each person gives the African man $2,500.  \n\nWell...you know what happens.\n\nAnd this actually works a lot.

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.

No Way can they make you donate from your hard earned money. Great Question, I am sure that most of the answers you  see here will help you "fight back" if  you can get some support from your co-workers
