Team Store

[IdyllsOfLife]

The Pink Team is considering starting an online store. We'd sell our team shirt, team hats, and our "Nerdstock" T-shirts. I'm trying to get a feel for how successful this venture would be. So:


a) If the Pink team had a store, would you buy its merchandise?
b) About how much would you think is reasonable to pay for a t-shirt?

Remember that any cost of the t-shirt should account for shipping.
Thanks for your input!

Hmmm well i think its an awesome idea to start a store, especially for pink goods i kno there are people on team 254 that wanted to get a pink shirt in hawaii but couldnt trade one of their shirts. I would say that an average shirt goes for like $10-$15 so some where around there.

Sounds like a pretty decent fund raiser idea to me especially if you can get the shirts at relatively low cost and relatively low other expenses. I'm sure there's a variety of people who would kill for a Pink shirt (who me?... no...).

It'd be interesting to set it up so any team can go on there ebay style and buy apparell from other teams, but that'd kinda take away from a direct fundraiser from your team.
One of the largest parts of the idea being successful would be letting people know about it, cause everyone wants a pink shirt (me included)

I'm a FIRST junky so i would buy any team shirts =P

Using http://shirt.woot.com as a pricepoint, I'd say 10 bux with shipping would be good. They seem to make 8 bux a shirt (not quite sure how they do this....) I guess they have the equipment and deals with T-shirt manufacturers. Maybe I'd pay 15 for a fundraiser shirt. No more than that.

Now what I really want is a pink top hat!

i love shirt.woot.com, but they charge 5 bucks for S&H, but 15 bucks for a nice shirt isn't that much.

I would buy if prices are good. Like $10 a shirt is about the most I would pay.

They used to do this, but I'm pretty sure that if you check now, you'll see that its 10 bux plus free shipping.

indeed shipping is free with the T-shirts.

a) I'd be very interested in buying a Think Pink t-shirt... I'm starting a collection of robotics shirts.

b) I think $15 is a reasonable cost, not much more.
