Disciples Cross - John Raymond Review | Rip-off Report #149992

And it seems that John Raymond has the set up registered as a non-profit!

And you said you shouldnt have posted this thread Lisa? Looks like you might already have saved a few people a few dollars.

The Bottom Line there says just about what the truth of this is and most of the craft-maker kit companies. There is little, if any money to be made unless you have a local or perhaps an online market, as in Yardseller (which I believe is closing shop). Some ladies this past Sunday were showing off their new Nail crosses and said there was a pastor in town who made them and gives them away free!! They were actually nice looking also, not like those on that website.

This site is NOT a scam. My husband bought the $25 kit from them and they work out great. You can sell them for $10. You can make 25 crosses for $25 and if you add up the money, you're making $250. You're making a profit of around $225! I'm going to start making them to make some extra money since I'm a stay at home wife and mother. You say it's a scam because you have a hard time bending the nails. They're NAILS. What do you expect?? Don't blame the fact that you can't bend them, on the site. They didn't give you carpal tunnel. Use a special tool or something like that to bend them. You're literally making over a 200% profit. Stop complaining. Also, yes, if you know the right people, you can sell more than enough of them. Since I'm a Christian, almost all of my friends are Christians as well. Almost every single one of them will buy one and I can sell more in the area because I live in West Virginia, which is over run with Christians. My point is, knowing the right people will get you plenty of money. For me, I've got a whole state possibly willing to buy the necklaces and key chains. (Btw, I hope I didn't come off sounding harsh. I don't care what your religion is. I wasn't trying to rub Christianity in anyone's face). The final price of everything is around $30. $25 for the kit, $5 clear gloss acrylic so it doesn't rust, and around $3 for the key chain rings (if you make key chains as well). It's almost $35 which is good, when, like I said, you make around $250 for selling $25 necklaces.

Put mind in gear before opening wallet.

Sorry, I added more, so you didn't get to finish reading what I had to say.
