I actually did a bit of searching to no avail. Has the idea of a small company store ever been brought up? Nothing to big and crazy. I'm talking t-shirts and coffee mugs. Maybe even pens. Everything "DVA" biggrin

. I can understand that one of the biggest issues with running a large online organization is keeping overhead low and I think we do a pretty good job here I guess.

I came up with the idea this evening when I was looking through the online CO company store; picked up a few things.

Feedback?

The same holds true for Air France Virtual. Both airlines are organized under the Global Virtual Airlines Group and is a registered nonprofit organization. But apart from that, designating someone to keep the books and run the store would be a nightmare, both in logistics and administration.
