soc_puppetCurrent stock:
3 x Fruit-of-the-Loom short-sleeved white T-shirts, size XL, $10.00 for a five pack
1 x Faded Glory short-sleeved white T-shirt, size L, $6.77 before tax (5%)
3 x Other long-sleeved white T-shirts, two size XL, one size XXL, $3.33 before tax
Advantages of FotL shirts: probably cheaper 99% of the time. Disadvantages: thinner, so more likely to wear out soon/be see-through.
Prices of shirts likely to fluctuate due to sales and so forth.
9 x Canon iron-on shirt transfers (light background) ($??? Christmas present)
8 x Avery iron-on shirt transfers (light background) (18 sheets for $20.00, I think)
3 x Avery iron-on shirt transfers (dark background) (similarly priced to light background, but bought fewer)
Prices of transfers likely to fluctuate due to number purchased and so forth.
Need:
Manilla envelopes, 9"x12" probably (padding needed? can get 2/$1.00 at Dollar Tree that way, otherwise will need to look around...)
Boxes for larger orders? Will probably think about it when the time comes. Doubt people will be ordering more than two or three at a time, really, though good to plan for just-in-cases.
[Edit:] Found packages of envelopes at K-Mart at 20/$2.50 and 25/$3.10, in 10x13" and then about ten cents less each for 9x12" of the same number.[/Edit]
Will probably be relying heavily on the USPS site. Note to self: weigh t-shirts. Will be able to deduct shipping costs if I'm able to deliver shirts in person (eg, at a con, etc).
[Edit:] Did some digging around, looks like postage should average about $5.00 for two pounds? Have only checked rates for Hawai'i, Iowa and Japan, though.[/Edit]
Three probable sale categories:
* Transfers alone; will include ironing instructions
* Pre-ironed bulk t-shirts; will be pre-washed
* Pre-ironed non-bulk t-shirts; will be pre-washed
This is mostly an expense thing. There may be a few "event sale" categories as well.
Designs so far:
* Sanity vs Coherence (Neither, both out)
* iAudience (willing to customize: silhouette/color/text, etc)
* CFUD eats Brains
* CFUD: Got Milk? IC OOC (Possibly also Plain, still thinking)
* Mandatory Naked Day (am considering changing the mini shirt graphic)
* The Baby Was Okay
* Blue Means Click (image not uploaded; see icon for gist)
Planning to offer a free transfer with any order for people from whom I got the shirt ideas; would just do free transfer - or, in fact, free shirt - if it weren't for the fact that I have to do this at cost ^^a
Still working on:
* All Riddle's Fault (As in, "This (t)shirt is ____" and "What do you mean, it's all my fault?" (see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyzzle's icon)
* Face!Shirt (need better picture of The Face)
* Orange + 75 = Canada
* Quite possibly Biz is my Hero
* CFUD: Hell's More Pink
* CFUD: my anti-drug and drug
* Everything I know about (insert fandom here) I learned from CFUD
* Shinn of the Dead (if I can get a copy of the original manip + permission?)
Requests will probably be taken, as will other ideas, etc. Aditionally, I'm willing to submit any and every design I finish to the CFUD CafePress Store.
Pros and cons of selling At Cost:
Pro: Will be able to get away with all designs, probably;
Con: Will not make money off of this
Pro: More people will be able to buy, and thus wear, CFUD shirts
Con: Will not be able to spend non-existant money on internet connection, CFUD canons, etc.
But that's just me whining, and we'll ignore it. Pretty sure the 'cost' part of At Cost does not include time/labor, too, more's the pity. I said, we'll ignore it. Stupid brain...
Think that's everything for now. Will update as needed, etc.
