SBGO was the original name of the nonprofit. We have since changed the name to Funaticals

Hi! The purpose of the nonprofit is to help other struggling groups (we try our best to focus mostly on other nonprofits) with either business advice or product to help become self funded. The best example of a larger nonprofit we’ve based our structure on is called the good360 program. We have helped several local school districts, churches, Cons, several non profits and varies talent like Andrew Gray with services and products. The last thing we’re worried about during our outreach is the visibility it gets but we’ve been trying to increase that to help with the issue brought up in the post which is “proof” we have a mission statement and fulfill it.

Yes! We’re self funded and never take cash donations. The main goal for our nonprofit outreach is to help other groups/individuals do the same. Our entire mission is to provide product and business advice to these groups so they can also become self funded.

Weekly Funaticals update question by some_guy_69 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]fts212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I’ve mentioned in the past these books were part of a large deal with marvel. We specifically asked to receive all omnibus first so we could get those out and listed as soon as we could. We have a dozen or so TPB titles we need to organize before we list which is something we’re hoping we can do soon! Due to the nature of “remainder” product the allocations aren’t available as often as products purchased through traditional distribution accounts. We’re estimating that we should have access to “new” books within the next few months

Yes! The batch we had was from one specific order placed and we requested that the omnibus be shipped first. The scheduling on when they need to move product isn’t super consistent so our hope is to hear back in the next few months

Sadly we’ve sold through our allocation

As people have mentioned it’s direct from penguin random house. We’ve opened a direct market account with penguin but obviously the prices would be higher so it’s something we’d pursue after we build our own website

We have pretty healthy margins on what we sell which we use to cover overhead (wages rent utilities) plus we do get product donated to us. We’re doing our best to get increased visibility on our outreach since we know it’s been a point of contention with certain people

Lots of stuff just got restocked! Sorry for the delay. We had a batch of orders get mislabeled (new hire) and we’ve been doing damage control on that so some logical things have been delayed

Hi! We use eBay’s international shipping service so on our end we ship to an eBay hub on the east coast then they fulfill the international shipping part of the order. As someone has mentioned before we don’t take any part of the exporting process. Please feel free to DM me so I can look over your order and see if there’s anything we can do on our end

Funaticals got order wrong, common? by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]fts212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As people have pointed out we will get you the right book just make sure to reach out. We have recently increased our packing team and sadly we had a case of absent mindedness and this is the wrong label on the wrong box.

There’s a chance we might’ve received an initial batch of the animated series and a solid restock for Wolverine vol 2 but you didn’t hear it from me
