$15 for a t shirt is doable.

I'll take 10% of the proceeds from koozie sales, thank you very little.

i'd pay $20 for a shirt that said "punk mother f'ers" or "Skittles, bitch!". with ohiochatter.com on the back.


i also like the idea of a customized one with a username on it.


up to $10 bucks for a pint glass, but i'd have to see a design to warrant it.

I wouldn't mind shot glasses too. Might go in for a tshirt too. I'd say no more than $5 for the shot and $15 for the shirt.

When I ordered some pint glasses online with Athens bar logos on them 6 months ago they were selling for $6. Seemed fair to me.

It was all done in Athens at one of the printers according to the shipping label and I assume he isn't doing it for a loss, so maybe shop around more for glasses.

Like $10 for 4 glasses and a shirt. People would have to order multiple to make it worth their while. Hell, package them a 2 packs and 4 packs only (2 for 15, 4 for 25)

They must've ordered a big enough qty to get the glasses for dirt cheap.

When I get home I'll find an article about the guy's operation that was in a paper down there. It's a one man deal and his business is by no means booming so he must have just found cheap glasses or was cut some sort of deal. He wouldn't need that many in terms of bulk

How about a swimsuit calender, The girls of OC. $20.00
They would cost you less than $10.00 to produce and ship.

You could do a Beefcake calender for your gay members and sell them to the softball league out there where Fairwoodking lives.

Found the article. 15 orders a month at most and he's "barely profitable" at $7 per glass (he's paying the bars for licensing too).

Maybe you could contact all the HS testing centers, possibly the SAT and ACT, and see if you can advertise on there. That will bring in more students.

Oops, wrong thread.

I can't read. How much would it cost to ship a pint glass?

I'm paying $16 for a pint glass, it better be able to pwn dynasty. Or the design pwns dynasty, I'd pay $25 for that.

Just looked it up based on a ~2.5lb shipping weight. Just for shipping it would be $5.65 through parcel post. That doesn't include the cost of the box and packing materials. This price was from Cincinnati to Newark. Not sure if it would go up much for further destinations.

Would be the same throughout Ohio most likely. Also you can save a ton using old newspaper to package them over shit like peanuts. Works just as well, if not better.

Use the flat rate shipping boxes from the post office.

I'd wear a shirt with my SN on it

we did koozies as our wedding favor, I think 200 came out to under $3 each, you could probably ship those for a buck. Add in a few dollars for markup and your price is still fair.

The sizes on those are weird. It'd be $11 to ship something the size of a pint glass. Would only make sense if someone ordered a ton.

I don't have old newspapers. I'm not 60.
