National put up $852 for these bands because the chapters wanted us to, and agreed to put up some of the money for the upfront costs of getting these things made. You and Berkeley promised to help cover the costs of these things:

Buying the bands at cost is a posability (.85 cents per), but again, you promised to help cover some of the upfront costs of making this order in the first place. So not all the risk is on national. If you buy the bands for full price, then that really helps, because then the chapter takes on some of the risk involved in selling them all. Plus it'd be a heck of a lot easier to keep track of everything.
Lets say you buy like 200 bands for $300. Then you are paying $170 to get the bands at cost, and spending $130 to help out national with the order by taking these off our hands entirely. Then its up to Olympia to make back that $130 (or more).
So just think of that $130 as the committment you made earlier to help out national with the cost of these things. If Berkeley does the same thing, then everything will be straight and we'll be sharing the costs pretty well, and no one is risking too much on it.
And again, you really should apply for Youth Venture money, you can get a bundle to help with paying for the wrist bands and such.
