the bands are to raise money for cancer the lance armstrong foundation...a charity to help combat cancer

I doubt the charity motives behind buying the Livestrong wristbands of some people. It bothers me when their only motive to buy them is because they are "in" and "trendy" and use it as a fashion accessory beyond their original purpose.

it bothers me more that people try to sell them for more than the $1 they are supposed to be...profiteering of the back of a charity...thats gotta be one of the lowest things a person can do

But that's the market they knew they were after. Tricking people into donating money is sweet! evil face

The fact that they are trendy is useful to the charities - thanks to the stars and sports people that wear them they are becoming more popular and so people are buying them. Admittedly you do have to buy a minumum of 10 but that's like $10 to the charities, I bought 20 and gave them to some family members, still have a few left. I will not be doing what some people do and sell them on for profit.
