Have no idea who or what Joe Corbis is. Some kind of fundraiser for o'malley? Here, the schools we have been associated with will not do fundraisers that are not as least as 50% profit for the schools.

And it doesn't stop at the school level. Adults continue this behavior with Avon, Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Origami Owl, Slumber Parties, etc.
Joe Corbis is the pizza kit and cookie dough fundraising god around here.[/QUOTE
Sounds like a money maker there for Joe Corbis.

I don't do that anymore.
I wasn't pointing fingers. I buy some of that stuff. Gotta' spend your disposable income somewhere. 
That's right. Money is one of the things that everybody likes to gather up. Buyer beware. Caveat emptor, ya know.

Here's the issue with the candy bars. The cause profits .50 per candy bars. That's a lot of damn candy bars to add up. So, for instance, a cause needs to raise $1,000...That's 2,000 candy bars.
That is 50 cents more than they would get from me coming to my door with some catalog with cheap big lots crap in it.

Silly question, I'm sure, but why not do a couple of car washes or something? Supplies for that are pretty negligible so long as you have a water hookup. I don't do catalog sales, personally. Especially from some kid that I probably don't know and am not sure I will ever see again. Doubly so for the parents who bring the order forms in to work on behalf of their kids.

Check into Butter Braids - they have a pretty big profit to the organization selling them! (If I recall correctly, my son's NJROTC unit made about $6.00 on EACH ONE) People are downright crazy coo coo for them, too!

This was the dealer we were working with

Oh, and to answer your original question - I normally don't like to sell the stuff for the school. I'd just as soon send a check in to give them 100% profit. AS for the websites that offer the online fundraising ability - I guess you have to weigh the costs of their fees to the cost of overhead (and your time) in selling the "stuff".
But those Butterbraids sold like crack! I've never seen anything sell like those did.

Nearly $14k per student in Maryland and we have to have fundraisers. Astounding.
