Funding shelters, saving money, saving lives.
I am retiring. After over a dozen years selling on Etsy to help fund causes I believe in ( where I have a 100% positive feedback on thousands of sales) I am setting up my own site. Here you can save 50% on purchases and the sanctuary/shelter/charity you choose will receive 50 % of your purchase !
How it works.
( It couldn't be easier!)
I have thousands and thousand of gems and jewelry ( many still to be listed)
I am told I cant take it with me....DAMN! :-)
So, I am selling it all at discount. ***
You get 50 % off the regular price using one of the codes listed below, after the beware of fakes notice. Make sure you use the code from the sanctuary/shelter/charity you wish to benefit. I have over 1,000 items listed here with more to add. I also have over 1500 items on Etsy that you can apply discount to. Simply tell me the item ( provide me with the exact heading of the listing on Etsy and the selling price there) and I will add that to the items on this site. Code will not work on Etsy. BUT. If you feel more comfortable buying off the Etsy site, please contact me and I will give you a code to work there for 40% off ( I have to cover the Etsy charges) . The group of your choice will still receive 50% of your purchase price.
***BEWARE OF FAKES! I have been doing this for decades and sell ONLY earth mined gems. I am appalled at the current state of affairs, where people sell man made as genuine gems and outright fakes as the real thing! Don't be fooled. A 1 carat unheated Burma ruby of very fine quality will WHOLESALE in excess of $25,000 US! Way out of my league. But, I see people selling 10 carat+ rubies as genuine unheated Burma for $50!! Don't be fooled.
Don't compare apples to oranges. My list prices are about 50% of what a jewelry store would charge ( Now, most of them sell man made now also... but are usually honest about it) But, I cannot compete with the con artists.
CODES:

How it works for Shelters, Sanctuaries, Etc.
( I used to run a charity many years ago. This is a drawing I made for it's logo then. ( NO...it is not a self portrait! :-)
Only picture I could find was tiny, on old letterhead. Lousy resolution. Apologies for the quality.... but I am not going to draw a new one! :-). I just put it here because it reminds me of when I started raising funds for animals.
All you have to do is contact me : (barry@theshelterfunder.com) and tell me you want to be included. Send me a link to your website and I will check you out. and if everything is kosher, will make up a code for you. If you are a registered charity you agree to provide me with a tax receipt at the end of the year for the amount I raise for you. ( the customer does NOT get a receipt.... that is illegal) If you are NOT a registered charity, no worries. My accountant tells me I can put down any contribution to you as an advertising expense as it will provide sales. How you declare it is your business depending on your circumstances.
I AM JUST ONE OLD GUY. I reserve right to stop accepting participants if I get so many I cant handle it.
Then let all your followers know, mention on social media ( I don't use social media ... too old and stupid ... but know it can be effective)
HOW IT WORKS:
Example:
Someone buys an item regularly selling at $200. They pay 50% of that: $100.
You receive 50% of that: $50
I get the $50. I have everything tied up in this and need to survive . Hoping to have nothing left when I croak! :-)
