Have you all looked into using Cafe Press for selling good/products? I don't know anything about the quality...but I know that's what Solaros and D-90 source and RoverGirls all use. Seems like a good idea. You could use the DiscoWeb sticker design for some cool stuff. Have pics of Ho,Axel and Kyle's trucks? I like the fact that they offer different styles of things. I would love to have a D-web hooded, zip sweatshirt.

FWIW :-)

As Susannah pointed out CafePress offers a good alternitive for sites to offer lots of good prodcts without needing to put out the inital money and hassles of stocking the items.

The downsides I have found since opening my first stores are:
- Their base pricing is high making your mark up even higher if you want to make any kind of turn around.
- Ordering anything around Xmas time is a crap shoot on the quality of the prints
- The stickers suck. I was testing some new sticker designs and was very disappointed with the quality.
- They stopped taking PayPal payments.

Some of the positives:
- I like the quality if the shirts and after 3 year, my original Rovergirls shirts finally started fading and I wear them quite a bit.
- Customer service if you need to do returns is usally prety good.
- You as the owner have to do no backend business dealing other than setting up the account, creating the graphics and adding the products.

**Just an aside**

I just thought of that when I was typing my reply in the other thread, I will take this off line and shoot them to you this weekend. :-)

We looked at Cafe Press years ago, and decided against it for the reasons Chris stated.
