But on the other hand, the coalition doesn’t have anything in writing regarding contributor commissions. Plus, they can reset your price to whatever they think is right, defeating the whole “set your own price” sales pitch. If I am mistaken, and the coalition DOES have a price guarantee in writing, please let me know. I was thinking the whole point of the coalition was to negotiate things like this. I know they just got paperwork done to become an “official” organization, so maybe it’s in the pipeline.

Cathy, I say…

We all need to give the fledgling Coalition leaders representing us a chance to get their footing, and then grow and (we hope) flourish — and finally show what some kind of cooperative effort like this can accomplish — before we start jumping down their throats over what they have not yet been able to deliver.

First of all, I’m not jumping down anyone’s throat. Good grief, you too, Martha? 🙄 I was trying to get some info. I guess you don’t have an answer. Read more carefully.

But hey, you got a +3! 👍

Calm down, Cathy. One can still express one's opinion in this forum (and this country) without seeking to engage in street warfare.
