I think it would be perfectly fine for an individual to place an bulk order for 50 T-shirts, and then have SPI buy 20 of them, TDF buy 20 more, and have a few individuals buy 1 or 2 each. As long as we keep our noses clean and make sure that... 1) We get the organizations/individuals to pre-order the merchandise 2) We don't spend more than 40 € of TDF's money per year, per person 3) We make sure to deliver the merchandise once it arrives ...then I think that we should be okay. At least that's how I understand the situation, anyhow :-) Cheers, --R
