I was thinking of running a guild MC shop >.> Possibly buying MC's and selling them to guildies for 3k less than current marketplace. <.< I think I would have to set myself a limit though, probably $30 a month, That's a good 12. Anyone like the idea?

I WOULD DO IT IF I DIDN'T SUCK AT GETTING GOLD.
I might open an art shop later. I'll have to see how school goes.

It'll have to start next month after I calculate my expenses. I get paid on the 7th and 21st every month(thanks to direct deposit) and I pay my monthly bills on the 7th, so the 21st is mainly my savings check and spendings check. I normally try to save at least 200-300 of each check leaving me a little over 300 to spend each check(except that first one has to suffer from bills but still) So what's 30 dollars to help guildies ^_^. Plus since it's outside of MP there won't be any tax.
We just need to figure out a system, because I'll only get up to 12 a month for it if it gets enough votes, and I'd prefer to get all at one time and distribute them at that time as well. In which case I will need to set a cutoff date. since they're released on the 15th, I would say the 25th would be ample time to get your request in. This way, I won't have to worry about filling up all 12 slots to order them so if I only get 3 or 4 I can order just those and they won't have to be sad that no one else wanted them.
One way I was thinking of doing it was creating a forum(possible sticky) and start it with 1-12 down the line. And Just have you guys post in order and the first 12 to request could get them. The price would vary depending on the current MP prices at the time of purchase not the time of request. No request a month ahead of time, and no reservations before the 15th so that you can see if you want them or not. Likely the list wouldn't fill very fast until release. Also no restrictions per person so if no one requested and one person requested 12 <.< they would get all 12.
Another more fair system would be to list the people buying them and how many and put them in a hat, with girlie supervising, and draw from the hat. Although it might be better to place each order seperately. If someone wants 3, put their name in 3 times (almost a little unfair and might seem like stacking the odds but if you only say multiple so to increase your odds, and you really only want one, yet I pull your name multiple times you either buy them all, or the program will be closed indefinitely)
On the subject of prices, One thing I was thinking was taking the price of the Letter, and the individual prices of each item and coming to a reasonable mean. Probably 2-3k less than the least expensive of the 3/4(if there is a 3 release month)
I don't know, any other suggestions would be great as far as methods and possible rules to apply. I really put a lot of thought into it, but I teetering between feeling like I put too much thought, and not enough thought at the same time, if you know what I mean. I don't want it to be too strict, since it's between friends, but I want there to be order, and assurance of smooth transactions... and I don't want it to create any kind of drama at all.

You should have your own sticky thread if you go through with this. That way, we don't lose the thread. (:

Yeah, I'd make an official Thread if it would get stickied, just give me the word. We'll just have to settle on how we're going to go about it. I honestly don't care if a lot of people don't want it. I'll do it for just the few people that do if they do, no need to worry a bout a bunch of people wanting it.

Kay ^_^ I made the official topic, if you guys like it, you can sticky it so it doesn't get lost. We should keep discussion and complaints about it to this if you have any.

well likely because of the tax thing, prices might go down, if only a little.
We might can possibly extend the cutoff date if it's not enough time to get the extra gold for it.
