Hey Crew -
I have a quote for the t-shirts... These prices include set up, sales tax, credit card fees, etc. they do NOT include shipping. If there is a lot of interest in the shirts my thought is to put them on my eBay store (not in an auction) as eBay provides inventory and shipping support that will be needed if there are a lot of orders. If we're worried about the "general public" ordering shirts I can put a notice in the item that only folks on the manifest may order and all other orders will be cancelled. If we don't care then I won't. Also, I'll be able to take credit cards through my PayPal account. I figure the ordering "window" will be several weeks long for each order. (Supposing we have more than one.)
I have a lot of questions that need to be answered. I'll put together an email and ask Lisa to send it out - not eveyone on the manifest is monitoring the board. (That would be folks with real lives??

) Based on the answers I receive I'll know that best way to do this is make the most folks happy.
I also got a quote for door magnets. 3" x 8" (fold a piece of paper into thirds - it's a little smaller than that). I'm thinking one, Just in Time order for them - provided there is enough interest.
And the printer can print up other stuff - bags, mugs, etc. Again, provided there is enough interest.
That said, here are the quotes... (Blast the formattting went away! I'll try and figure out how to fix that.)
T-shirt: Port Authority, 6.1oz, 100% cotton T
---------------50---- 100---- 200
Black, 1 sided $19.37 $15.10 $12.76
Black, 2 sided $26.89 $19.99 $16.10
White, 1 sided 16.30 14.21 12.53
White, 2 sided 23.81 17.98 14.17
Can mix colors to get the quantity discount (e.g.: 25 black, + 75 white = 100 prices) Not certain if we can mix 1-sided and 2-sided for the same discounts. Somehow, I doubt it. We'll need to decide on the number of sides we want printed. (Yes, the Captn is creating art work for both side.) It may come down to how many folks want shirts. A 2-sided shirt at the 200 level is cheaper than the 1 sided at the 50 level.
Door Magnet: 3" x 8", full color digital print on .030 white magnetic material
----------50-- 100-- 200
Magnets $5.40 $4.18 $3.21
Questions I need answers to include things like:
How many shirts do you plan on ordering?
When would you like to order them? (Now, Christmas, Just in Time)
Is it more important that you have them at a certain time, or get the best price?
Is eBay / PayPal a problem for you?
Do you prefer 1-sided or 2-sided shirts? Or do you care?
Which is more important, the number of sides or price?
Do you want a door magnet? How many?
Are you interested in other stuff? What?
We can bounce some ideas around here if we want.
