Friend Francine,
Great, enjoyed the joke.
No problems.
However for serious buyers of buddha supply am sure Somkid is there in Thailand to arrange them at prices lower than other places gloablly.

No, I do not "sell" anything I was just offering to help a fellow Buddhist. It would be un-Buddhist to extort a profit for such a thing. I saw a meditation bench on the inter net for $150 I can buy it here for $10 and the shipping is probably $10 it is more likely I would lose money doing something for someone than profit from it. Believe me if I needed money I wouldn't be living and working in Thailand.

Your cause of providing for fellow Buddhists is noble and worthy of a salute of some sort ,

Yep, I'm just saying... because I wouldn't put it past some people to try it.

Nothing in Buddhism against making an honest profit. Otherwise the Buddha would not have accepted the gifts of land and such. In fact I remember reading where a merchant asked the Buddha how much he should donate to the sangha and the Buddha replied,"One quater of the profit" or something like that.

That's new to me. If anyone knows anything about this I would be very interested in it.

I think it's perfectly ok to make a living (make a living is more appropriate in this case).

It's perfectly fine to make a profit in order to make a livng ; as long as one do not go against Vinayas.

However regarding the issue of providing Buddhist items for fellow Buddhists I think it would be good if no profit is made.
