A question. I am guessing that the camera shoould be bought in Canada, so as to avoid any Customs issues. Whaddya think ?
Frank, I would be glad to mail you a check too.

Gee you guys are smart. We'd have to look at selling prices in Canada vs US. I'm guessing they'd be much cheaper in the US, and we should buy from a RFF sponsor. Perhaps someone could carry the camera over the border (Trius?)

I'd be happy to take the Paypal payments, Frank. Anybody know if Tony Rose or CQ takes paypal payment?

 

[ray_g]

Just remember that Paypal will deduct surcharges, which in this case will be close to $80

Yup, count me in as well.

Maybe a sponsor could pop in a small gift, a few rolls of film or something like that. More thought anyone?

 

[FrankS]

Thanks Ray! 🙂

I guess the best thing would be that, if we are able to do so, to send a M.O. $80 is a big chunk; could buy a filter + s/h.

Not to rain on this parade of generosity, but wasn't this sort of thing banned when people wanted to chip in to reimburse Jorge for some stolen equipment?

Just checked, CameraQuest accepts PayPal, as well as a number of other payment forms.

If we don't make 100, we could always get him a Canon 100/2 😉

Hey, thanks.

We're at 17 so far. (or 18 if that was a yes from JoeFriday.)

A MO would be most efficient, while PayPal may be more convenient. Either one will be fine.

 

[cp_ste.croix]

i'm in, and i'll smuggle things accross the border too 😀

 

[DCourter]

Can't think of a better time for my 1st post...count me in as well.

 

[FrankS]

Don't say the s word mule, I mean Chris. 🙂

All we're looking for at this point is to see if there is enough interest among members in doing this. The goal may be lofty and may need to be adjusted (say body only) but whatever, let's see where this goes.

 

[FrankS]

Thakk you, DCourter . Best first post ever!

Not sure how a private gift/donation could be banned. Even if somebody does think its banned, I'll contribute.

Also, the $80 PayPal fee might be worth it to avoid the hassle factor. That's less than $1 per donation ... less than a money order.

 

[Todd.Hanz]

me too as long as we all get to sign it 🙂 just kidding.... about the signing it thing... I'm good for 20 bucks.

20% complete

I missed that whole banned thing. But as you said Vince, if someone wants to give a gift of appreciation...

 

[smiling gecko]
