 Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 9:18 pm Post subject: Rovers merchandise sale |
 |
|
Hi, just joined the site to see if any of you would be interested in buying some official XARA Raith Rovers merchandise.
Myself and a couple of mates bought some stock from Xara and are looking to shift it on for a fair price.
There would probably be around 300-500 pieces from football tops (Bar Itza sponsor) to kids pyjamas to shorts, socks etc. We wouldn't be hard to deal with and would probably accept £1 - £1.50 per item if the gear was to be bought in a job lot.
It would probably suit somebody that runs supporters buses etc as it could be used for raffles, fundraisers etc
Drop me a PM if you're interested and we can take it from there.
Cheers and all the best for the season ahead |

Sounds really tempting.....however, as someone who helps to run a supporters group, I would rather the £300-£500 you want for a bulk buy was put directly into the Rovers rather than to a third party.
In which case.......I'm out  (just my view though) |

But why not take the £300-500 and turn it into £600-1000 for your supporters club?
Raffles at £1 a ticket on 50 seater bus with even 10 prizes gives you £40 profit per bus for your supporters club
Worth a punt? |

Not really.
Our bus usually takes 16-30. So best case scenario, £30 return for an investment of £500.
Even involving the supporters club bus, which is usually 60 odd, would only generate a return of £90.
That makes a loss of £410.
Moreover, with it being older stock, why would anyone pay £1 for a raffle ticket for something they've already got and which is at least 5 seasons out of date?
This would only work if you were willing to sell a full set of kit in smaller batches to a supporters team or youth team, for example, and not a bulk buy of 500. |

I'm guessing you only paid around £50-£100 for the lot so 500 is a bit cheeky
Do the decent thing and donate to charity, there's one which sends football tops to Africa, or is it Africans that donate to Kdy.....  |

Thought you would have run more than one bus a season, but hey what do I know  |

Alternatively you could have chosen not to have posted. |

So I'm guessing my estimate of what you paid must have been pretty accurate |

Yep, got that message from around two days after the initial post, but as hard as I tried I couldn't resist posting to the couple of numpties that had replied.
Quite happy for the mods to delete this thread now given the almost complete lack of interest |
