$10 per copy is 1000%+ profit, while that's all well and good, I have several
questions (which also pertain to selling the other stuff as well):
1. What happens to the money collected? Bank account? Whose?
2. What happens to those who need receipts?
(do we care, or do we just write on scrap of paper?)
3. Do enities like the IRS, State Tax authority, etc. matter to us
( I know there's no sales tax in NH, but if we decide to do
sort of thing in MA, this might be an issue.)
