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.

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