New FIRST Website Idea?

Greetings from The RoboDawgs, Teams 216, 244, and 288!

Some team members and I have been throwing around the idea of creating a website that would basically work as the middleman for buying/selling your FRC shirts. This idea comes from our frustration in the fact that very few teams make shirts available for purchase online (Team 254, and Team 610 for a limited time after becoming champs are some of the few that come to mind). I speak on behalf of the members of our teams, that we would be willing to pay to purchase certain teams shirts!

Here's our solution!

Teams would be able to work through the website to sell their official team shirts to paying customers through the (hopefully) acquired domain www.FIRSTGear.com!

The ordering process would go approximately as follows:

1) User browses site for a wanted shirt (Options would change daily as other users are able to buy and sell shirts from their personal collection, however it would be noted if purchasing directly from the team)
2) User orders shirt (enters shipping information as well as pays for shirt)
3) Team is notified via e-mail that an order has been placed. E-mail will contain shipping address as well as verification that amount has been deposited in a pre-setup PayPal account)
4) Team ships shirt to given address (Shipping included in payed amount by user)

The reason for this post comes down to this: What do you think?
-Would you use the site to purchase other team's shirts?
-Do you think your team would be willing to sell your shirts on this site?
-What other functionalities would be needed before you used this website?

The idea for this website is in the infancy stage, so no promises (regardless of feedback) that this will ever happen, however, we think this is a great idea, and hope you all do as well!

Thanks, and we hope to hear from you all soon!
-Mak
