[Dx-qsl] non-bureau mgr's

The price of being a manager is up to the manager/and the dx station. I 
would never dream of having a manager and not supporting him with funds for 
him to do MY job, and neither should anyone else. 
To be a dx station with a manager it is quite simple really: Send the 
manager a check to handle your cards. He can have cards printed, mail to the 
buro, keep envelopes at his buro etc. but if you have him doing that for you 
( plus all the time spent in your behalf) its YOUR (read- DX) responsibility 
to pay for the cards and postage both ways. His time spent doing all this is 
the only thing you should not be paying him for. Other than that, you are a 
cheapskate, and he should drop you like a hot potato(e). Find someone, in a 
civilized postal area, who is willing to be your manager, and support his 
efforts with YOUR cash. 
 If I wanted to QSL direct, and pay the costs for all that, that is what I 
would do, but I dont need a manager for that. Other wise it the buro, and 
the buro means you dont have to put out all the hard cash to pay the dx for a 
card. Its a hobby for BOTH, of you. 
Going Direct: You send your card, pay for the postage both ways and the dx 
stqation buys his cards, and uses your greenstamp or sase to return it. Why 
use a so-called manager, especially in a postage stealing country? Makes no 
sense at all.
