<VV> The Corvair Decade

[Western Canada CORSA]

You lost me.  It looks like you're presenting a "slippery slope" argument
that doesn't hold up from my point of view as we are talking about 20
special copies of the CD that are slated for sale, one way or another. 

The only other option I see would be to just sell them randomly with the
non-autographed books like a lottery, at no additional cost (and profit for
CORSA). Either that or a set price beginning on a specific day eligible to
CORSA members only, but then you run into issues of notification (I won't
see my CC for another couple of weeks at best) and time-zones for when the
phone lines would open.

Regards,
Joel

Great Idea Joel,

We could even have all our members send in the Convention registration
money, plus what they would spend for travel, room and board to CORSA and
instead of having a convention CORSA could invest the money into a market
fund and get a great return on the members money.

Going further we could put the entire CPF inventory up on E-bay . . .

Sometimes we get the COR$A in front of the Corvair.
