Well, there's been brought up the subject of possibly doing DV merchandise (esp. shirts). Personally, I think that it'd be a good idea, though offering them commercially wouldn't be so bright considering the current size of our forum. One way that should work is offering iron-on designs to download and print off from the site, so that users can print the design onto an iron-on sheet of paper and then transfer it to a shirt. Some of the designs could be pretty simple-- A slightly modified version of the banner on the back accompanied by a small logo on the front. The banners are pretty much done for us already--we can just scroll through the topic from when we were brainstorming new banners from the site. |

I've been looking into custom coffee mugs. Seems there is a $39 setup fee and then a price per mug. The more we buy, the cheaper each one gets. I am not allowed to wear t-shirts to work, but I can have a mug! |

Well, what if we did a poll to see how many people would be willing to buy merchandise? I mean, we have ~3000 members, so we'd get quite a few, but how much would they have to cost in order to break even? I'd imagine it wouldn't be too much, other than shipping and whatever. |

These guys had some decent pricing. |

I was thinking, though, that while I love the idea of having shirts and other merchandise, what about the economic end of it. I mean, this is obviouslly a non-profit... dare I say organization? Anyway, if we wanted to sell anything, ice would have to decide whether or not he wanted to make a profit off of this or break-even. If he wanted to make a profit, then it wouldn't be too hard figuring out how much everything would cost, but if he wanted to break-even, he (or some mathematically inclined person) would have to figure out how much the merchandise costs, how much shipping would cost (to various global locations based on the weight of the merchandise), what other fees/taxes might be applied to this, before final prices could be determined. |

Well I would have thought that any money we made would go towards hosting or something. |

Well, I know. I just thought I'd throw that out there |

One problem we will have is that the majority of the people that hang out here don't have credit cards or paypal accounts. That means we will have a lot of people who want to send in check or money order. |

Hmmm I dunno about DV thongs. There's just not enough room for the logo you know? |
