By the way I love your critizism. :-)
alchemiste said on November 20, 2002 20:52:
The Fanclub doesn´t make profit either OF COURSE...
but until now there was no need to stress this! :-)
Of course the EP is included...
And you´ll have a hard time finding lower postage rates than ours (8 Euro).
Have fun ordering: http://www.roxettedirect.com/

FuckClub would deliver it (if eill deliver of course) at least for 4-5 months! They speculate with fans money. Read “About FC” post - some people hasn’t yet received TCOTH and RS singles...
So - do as you want, but I guess, most of TDR readers won’t beleive that FC - they are too fed up now...

@kibkalo
First up, the way you call us speaks for yourself.
Second, everyone who´s interested in the progress that has been made with the Fanshop is invited to read through the following thread:
http://www2.dailyroxette.com/smalltalk/thread.php/3826?p=1
Just to find out that everything is UP AND RUNNING now... It´s just a matter of fact that some people don´t notice that things are changing sometimes.
Cheers to everyone,
Stefan.

we will see if the Fanclub makes profit or not, when we see what price Colin’s association is selling da Book, don’t you think?

@camillarox
Not really, since they at least claim to get the books directly from the Author.
We (the Fanclub) get them from PremiumPublishing, and I guess that´s going to cost a bit more.
Anyway, if you compare to the PremiumPublishing price you´ll notice that the book is cheaper at our place *and* we have *much* lower postage rates... So what reason is left to complain?

Taken from Colin’s post: “We make no profit, and get the books directly from the publisher” ?

I suggest that you all just “look” and see what RFO is doing before jumping to any conclusions. But it would be nice to have the book underneath the Christmas tree ...!
colinvdbel (moderator) said on November 21, 2002 14:00:
Yeah....we’ll have them to you before christmas, guarenteed. We’ll have an excellent shop...it will be online soon. Also, our prices will be good compared to the Fc, although we’re awaiting a phonecall from Sweden now to get the exact price.
For everyone who doesnt know it yet: The RFO (Roxette Fan Organisation) does not want to compete with the FC in any way. We just offer an alternative for the fans that already left the Fc, or those who want more than what the FC offers. Roxbytes is a part of the R.F.O, but we will have much much more to offer, such as fanmeetings, a shop where non-shop items are available such as old vinyl and old cd’s.

who’s going to be sued? Yes, the Fc ofcourse. We have the rights for selling the book.From publisher and author. And we don’t even make profit (where the FC DOES)
kibkalo said on November 21, 2002 18:20:
Great news, Colin!
If you’ll have shipment methods other then unregistered mail (FC has only it) Russian fans will buy up to twenty books I guess. And I wish you’ll make a normal shop where we can buy Rox CDs without waiting for a year ...
Iertje007 said on November 21, 2002 19:37:
Why are you saying this Collin? That the fc makes profit? You know that we don’t. And why do you say we will get sued? I don’t understand why you are being so hostile all of a sudden! Anyway, good luck with your shop, the website looks good and it’s nice that people will have an address to buy rare things like old singles and stuff.
harryslinger said on November 21, 2002 19:47:
the fanclub buys from Premium Publishing.... so imo there won’t be a ’rights’ problem and no-one will be sued, nor the Fc nor the RFO.
what i did noticed is that the fc is cheaper then Premium (in both the price and shipping) and a Free picture is included as well though... then again, it probably depends on the quantity you buy from your supplier.

@camillarox
I wasn´t mistaken... Look at this thread:
http://www2.dailyroxette.com/smalltalk/thread.php/4549
It´s here where RFO states they get the books directly from the author...
StillFar said on November 21, 2002 20:58:
yawn....don’t you have anything better to do (*sending out orders of people who are waiting for them*) than bitching at each other all the time?
alchemiste said on November 21, 2002 21:06:
@StillFar
If you´ve referred to my comment - I quoted something and I was told I quoted it wrong... and I checked back and found out that I didn´t.
I´m trying to get my stuff right... which is what everyone expects from the Fanclub.
So where´s the problem?
Jud (moderator) said on November 21, 2002 21:29:
I have put a website together with info about the book (price, shipping cost....), so you know where to buy what :P (so far, European Union only).
It is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION, and still adding stuff, so let me know if something is missing, wrong.... (better if you mail it to me at [email protected], thx!!)

@Iertje: I´m not being hostile, but some ppl are....i only react. I and the RFO hold no grudge towards the FC whatsoever.
colinvdbel (moderator) said on November 20, 2002 18:55:
We, the R.F.O. (Roxette Fan Organisation), are going to sell the book. We make no profit, and get the books directly from the publisher. All books that are bought with us will be signed by the author (the books at the Fanshop are not). Also, we’ll make sure all books are delivered before christmas! Our site is still ’under contruction’, but will be launched completely very soon. The URL is: http://www.trfo.tk All of the books ordered with us will include the EP. Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
