rescue_653 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Its a standard business practice. I would not produce, sell, pay taxes, stock and inventory these items if I was going to give you 90% of my profit. So Holidaycoro in my mind is handeling it correctly. He is running a business to make money not line everyone elses pockets. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstorms Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I wouldn't call it misleading. I went to the website and it was spelled out pretty clear and I saw it instantly.The deal is not for me, but I'm not offended about it.For some this could be a great deal.

I try to be as creative as possible to offer the greatest value for my customers. I don't personally sequence all that well and there are many of my customers and other that do a great job at sequencing, as such, my efforts are best focused on doing what I do best - producing coro based items and allowing customers or potential customers to do what they do best, sequence. It seems like a complete win-win for a customer that would be sequencing such a project anyway to get free products worth up to $210 per song for just sequencing.

MikeH Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The way I see it, they buy the rights of your sequence, be it monetary or in prizes or both.MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 This view pops up regularly on this forum. It is completely astounding to me!I plan to submit and win! It is of no concern to me that HC will own the sequence and sell it. He is offering a voluntary and fair exchange.There is nothing wrong with an entrepreneur selling something and making money. People make trades all the time. The whining over free enterprise is misplaced since each of us participate in it by selling our time and labor in exchange for a wage. Time for me to drop out of this topic.. gotta go pay the lawn guy, housekeeper, Accountant, computer tech, babysitter, pest control, and Weed-man. All of them do jobs for me I could do myself but would rather pay for their services instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great Dave took the initiative to do that.For the newer folks on the forum - a great many of our vendors started out as forum members, including some very attached to this particular forum (but no names mentioned of course;)).Rather than becoming upset and then discouraging them, let's try to, if you can't support them, at least let them be.They may very well become our future big vendors.

All of them do jobs for me I could do myself but would rather pay for their services instead.I completely agree with Bob and Greg. I think if HC wants to put on an awesome contest like this, then let them. And with the sequences they get, let them do what they please with them. If you don't want your sequences to be owned by someone else, then don't submit it.I plan on doing a sequence or two and sending them to HC, and hopefully with a little luck, I might win. But when i send the sequence to them, I know that they will do whatever they want with it, and that's fine by me. And it isn't like they take the sequence and give nothing back, the winners get free coro, and depending on where you place, you can get even more. To me it is a win-win situation!!So, in that case, thank you Holiday Coro, this is an awesome contest that I think many people will like, including me.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 My lawn guy does the weeding ..always figured that was part of any lawn guy's normal duties.I guess the statement "I don't do weed(s)" can have several meanings.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
