I'm not trying to make any profit off the sales of the SMC items, but im just trying to add purchasable (filler) to my site to have a larger selection.

After all Pete has mentioned earlier, why not try and make a profit on these lines as well? Why waste time on non profit making items?

While they have been accused of it, they are not a MLM type operation. No one gets paid for bringing new customer, in fact they only add more competition by doing so.

Why not make a profit? You can. If you are going to list them, people may buy, may as well make it worth your while.

That magazine and the organization behind it is geared to what you could call Professional Crafters. Few have production facilities, most are "artists" hand crafting niche items and I would say that none will dropship. Great for boutiques and trendy gift shops, but not a lot of mass appeal items.

Good folks, I've been on a forum with them for years, but many would rather not have their goods bandied about online.

it would definitely be nice to make some profit on them, I'm just a pessimist by nature and assume that not many will buy them. They are nice items however and would probably do well with the Middle America crowd.

bond, I once had a dad spend $500 for glass angels for table settings / keepsakes / whatever they call them for his daughter's 13th or something birthday. Paid a chunk for second day air to get them.

At the time I was using goto/overture/which is now yahoo paid search. Had keywords under 5 cents, none over 30 cents and had all kinds of traffic.
