MARK RAY T-SHIRTS

[Mark Ray]

Just a reminder to all, I just added my t-shirts to my website. I have had a few orders from SFC members but I didn't realize they were members.
Please note somewhere on your order if your ordering from my website or in your pm that you are a SFC member so I can calculate the 25% discount members get (basically 5.00 off), also there are no shipping charges.Below are a few of the new ones.Check out my website for the rest of the designs.

Mark, I may have missed this in a different thread, but what is on the front of the shirts? I know you were talking about a signature, etc.
Thanks

[Mark Ray]

The Short sleeves have a pocket with my signature on it. The long sleeves have no pocket just my signature.

those shirts are sick......i will be ordering the one with the threasher...i love that...

[Mark Ray]

I want you all to know that I want everyone to buy one of my t-shirts because you like the artwork. I also know that big hearted box doesn't want anyone to think that what I want to do has not been solicited by him or anyone else.
This idea is totally my idea using my product that I have bought and paid for. Every Christmas since I got out of the Army in 1987 I have always did something extra at Christmas to help the kids that always go without. Kids that I met on calls for service in my 16 years as a police officer. Kids born to poor families, drug addicts or just irresponsible people that didn't give a damn.
I wasn't part of this forum last year at this time and I don't have a big wallet, but what I do for a living painting gamefish sometimes involves donating to benifit the conservation of the fish we all so passionately pursue or to help raise money through auctions for cancer or whatever it may be.
NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 25TH I WILL DONATE 5.00 FROM EVERY T-SHIRT I SELL TO BOXES COLLECTION OF ITEMS FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB!!
I will also accept Sportfishing USA's challenge of sending Box 50.00. xmas:

Plan on sending another $10 bucks to the Boxman, just placed an order for two shirts. Thanks Mark!

[Mark Ray]

Your awesome, I just sent you an e-mail!!!

[Mark Ray]

Sorry you all, Box doesn't want me to send him any donation from the sale of the shirts.

MARK.....

I WILL QUOTE YOUR PM YOU SENT LAST WEEK AND ALSO MY REPLY BACK IN PRIVATE MAIL:

Marty, wanted to make sure you thought this would be ok. I want to offer a discount on my t-shirts, license plates and Tiles and artwork to all SFC members. I will then donate 25% of all monies made to you to help out the cause for the boys and girls club. Whoever buys something from me I will make a Christmas card for you to present to the boys and girls club. In thea card I will have all of the members names who bought something from me so the people at the boys and girls club will know who gave them the money and or gifts you get. If you think this is cool I will post it with the discount listed etc.. I will end it soon enough that i can get the money to you right away. Let me know.

MY PRIVATE MAIL ANSWER BACK:

"MARK...I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT BRO....BUT

I WOULD RATHER NOT DO ANY SELLING WITH MY CHARITY THINGS.....

IT WILL CREATE PROBLEMS FROM SOME...I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT AND WOULD HAVE 20 OTHER VENDORS DOING THE SAME THING AND THEN SOME WILL QUESTION THE REAL DEAL HERE


I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





MARK I TRIED TO KEEP THIS PRIVATE BETWEEN YOU AND I BUT YOU WANT TO GO PUBLIC SO LETS GO PUBLIC.

,
IN YOUR PM TO ME ABOVE....YOU STATE WILL DONATE 25% OF YOUR PROFIT OF SALES...THEREFORE YOU ARE MAKING A PERSONAL PROFIT USING THE CHARITY PLATFORM.....



I DO NOT WISH FOR PEOPLE TO DONATE A PERCENTAGE IF IT HINGES ON THEM SELLING A PRODUCT TO A MEMBER

I DO NOT THINK THIS IS ASKING TOO MUCH.......

BUT .......YOU SIR ASKED ME IF I WOULD APPROVE THIS IDEA OF YOURS AND I GAVE MY ANSWER BACK TO YOU


WHATEVER MARK

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GREEN LIGHT TO DISPLAY AND SALE YOUR ART WORK....THIS IS UNHEARD OF ON THE INTERNET TODAY....AND NOW YOU WISH TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE I AM REFUSING MONEY FOR THE KIDS

AGAIN.....WHATEVER MARK.

IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO THIS YOUR WAY, WHY BOTHER SENDING ME A PM ASKING LIKE YOU DID

[Mark Ray]

I make my living selling my artwork and merchandise. I wasn't trying to use the charity forum to make a profit. I was trying to donate a portion of sales to the cause. I make my living from my artwork and merchandise therefore I cannot donate 100% of the sales or I would be homeless.
I apologize if this was the impression I gave, and I didn't mean for it to sound like Marty wouldn't accept anything for the kids. I was only trying to end the offer I had started in my posts, which I thought I explained.
To those of you who have purchased T-shirts I have already forwarded the monies to Marty along with 50.00 of my own money. If you wish to have a refund please pm me and I will issue a refund.
I apologize to anyone that may have thought what I was doing was wrong. Marty I was trying to help the best I could, and didn't mean any harm. Please accept my apology.
