Okay, to keep everyone up to date, here's a recap of what's going on.
First, we have another new member, bringing our total membership to 11. In keeping with tradition, I won't reveal his more common "handle" unless it's something he's OK with. He's posted a reply to this thread, but not under his usual name.
(A few people have asked me what the deal is with this, and I explain it this way: participation in this group is always assumed to be anonymous unless you explicitly state otherwise. It's not necessary to post here under your "known" handle, although if I don't recognize you I may send you an email to find out who you are. It's not that we're involved in SUPER SECRET SPY STUFF SHHHH!, but not everyone wants to deal with the hassle of getting grilled by outsiders or griefers, etc.
Although identities may be hidden, finances are not. I will always keep everyone informed of how much money I have collected and exactly where it has been spent and/or recouped. Anyone participating in this project has the absolute right to demand accountability at any moment. This is your money you've all entrusted me with, and I promise you all complete transparency.)
Anyway, Project #1 is almost complete, here's where we stand:
Rawhide Kid #17 ($133) - scanned, distributed to members, in the process of recouping our money on this. Sorry about the vagueness here, email me for details if you need them.
-----
Rawhide Kid #19 ($60) - scanned, distributed to some members, currently trying to unload it on ebay.
-----
Ringo Kid Western #11 ($8) - scanned, distributed to some members, haven't tried to resell it yet.
-----
Rawhide Kid #15 ($40) - Purchased, paid for, still waiting for it to arrive
Total collected: $330
Total spent so far: $241
Total recouped so far: $0
Balance: $89
A final note about distribution: This isn't meant to be some elite squad. I want to see these books distributed publicly. I only ask that members refrain from passing them around too widely until we have recouped on each book. The only way this project can work long-term is if we can get most of our money back, and giving the book contents away for free isn't the best way to do that :)
