If you are feeling the pinch, I have an idea which might help you get on your feet. I’m not necessarily thinking of greedy atheists that read this blog, but families that are struggling. But if a greedy atheist runs with this, that’s okay. Most parents and grandparents have a stack of unused toys that kids and grandkids have outgrown. Here’s my idea. Go door to door and offer to pay cash for the unused toys. I would gladly get rid of a pile of unused toys for $25. Just buy ones that can be easily washed with one of those high-powered hoses. Get an empty store, put up a sign that says “Toy Swap,” and allow customers to bring in their unused toys and swap them for the ones their kids like. Charge a fee to swap each one--$1 for real small toys, $3 for average size, and $5 for larger plastic bikes, etc. I think it would take off. “Toys Are Us” (wrong spelling) would probably pay you to stay out of business. Then again, it may stimulate the toy industry. Whatever the case, I wish you well.

Tough Time Financially?

great idea! I will pass this one along. I'm already working on projects but this one would certainly be perfect for someone.
God Bless
Great and practical idea. Note:not for the greedy
Ray,
That's a really good idea. You could probably even save some money on renting an empty store by making use of a flea market. The stalls are surely much cheaper and the clientele are already expecting second-hand goods so they're more likely to sell. Then, after putting smiles on less fortunate children's faces you could donate any profits to the charity of your choice. It's win/win.
I'll ignore the snipe about "greedy atheists" :)
I think this is a good idea. It maybe something I look into doing. :)
that is a really great idea!!
