Perhaps we should have a design contest, or the best text on a T-shirt? Isn't anyone in the business in the T-shirt printing, dry erase boards etc...then can give Ben a good deal?

In this wide community there has got to be someone.

Rivergallery, I checked out the cafepress.com. It is quite easy.

1. It will stop someone to do the work for shipping etc.
2. There is no initial investment.
3. No one gets stuck with any merchandise.
4. If no one orders, then there is no loss.
5. This goes from mugs, clocks to everything. Different types of T-shirts. There is choice.

The down side is. Without profit you need to sell the T-shirts for 13.99, plus shipping $4 within the US, $7 internationally.

If you wanna make 5 bucks on a T-shirt. With shipping it is 23 bucks if you are in the US! Kind of expensive.

Yeah I know.. not sure if there are other companies out there that do this.. Many of my artsy friends use CafePress.com for prints of their paintings to be put on stuff..
If someone doesn't own a printing place, usually you have to purchase a min quantity of shirts, and the more you purchase the cheaper per shirt it is.

I know what you mean. It require initial investment, and the risk that you get stuck with a bunch of T-shirts. And you have to go through the management and shipping of the whole thing.

Then again what is do-able. I read that the owner of the shop can continue to buy 13.99 + shipping (additional T-shirts are only 1 dollar to send), then once a month a trip to the post office.

I got someone asking me "what is that Sleuty hang on thing?"

Check out Chron's bio on his detective page.

Also, as a side note, I am checking what having a dry erase board printed would run. Once I get pricing info we can see how many people are willing to order. It looks like unless we pay out the nose we will have a minimum order of 150, so I don't know if it is feasable. We could just print the worksheets on heavy paper and laminate for a cheap semi-disposable product if the printed boards are to expensive or impractacal.

The jazz reference is to my 'real-life' occupation as a musician.
