Thread: Disciples Cross, why I wouldn't recommend them

Sell them back to the site?
That triggers a red flag for "assembly scams."

Have a bit of reading on that subject:

Seriously? Almost every thread on every topic on every scam site has some random poster that shows up and claims it is working for them.

Here is the thing, if it works for you then great, come back in 6 months and give us an update on how it is going. But also if you are handy/crafty why not just go to a craft store and buy your own supplies and make things on your own and sell them? If something is selling on EBAY for $4 that is probably the price, regardless of what the company says it should sell for. According to the screen shot the EBAY seller sold 76, shipping costs what $1? According to your numbers material is $1 per cross. So you are left with $2 profit before time invested. One advantage I see is you can make these when you are watching TV or during idle time, but you could cut out the middle man and make original items that may command a little more premium.
