[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I personally detest are the items where parents are solicited to contribute something that is bought at retail and then auctioned. Invariably it sells for less than the retail price. Looking at it from all angles: * The PTA gets less money than if the donor had just written a check for the amount. * The donor has to go to the trouble of buying something and hauling it to the auction, only for the PTA to make less than if they had just written a check. * The buyer ends up with something they probably didn't want, and has to figure out how to get it home from the auction. It's lose, lose, lose.[/quote] Pretty much sums up all the damn class baskets[/quote] +1 whoever came up with that idea should be shot[/quote]
