Re: [lojban] Producing and pricing merchandise.

I have a group of eight online comics that I've started reading, but the only one that I read regularly is Escape from Terra http://www.bigheadpress.com/eft .

Speaking of, I found SplitReason because it's the store a webcomic I read, Real Life Comics, uses to sell their shirts. Most of the webcomics I read have some sort of t-shirt selling practice in place, it might be in our interest to look at the ones we collectively read to see how thier solutions stack up against each other and find out how we can get through the door on them.

SplitReason is an online t-shirt store that gives it's affiliates a 23.5% commission on any shirt purchased through them. The typical price is ~US$18, so that's $4 for the LLG per shirt. I haven't done the math, but I think that's slightly better:

So, we're looking into who can produce our merchandise. The biggest problem seems to be how much we have to charge. The *cheapest* we've seen for individual (read: non-bulk) orders is 15$ for a plain white shirt with a design. So, to make any kind of money, we'd have to mark it up. That brings it to... let's just say 20$. Now unless you  surpass some number (around 50?) of dollars on your order you'll also end up paying shipping, which we'll laughably say 5$ even though that could vary a lot in either direction.

So,  somebody is paying 25$ for a shirt and we're making 5$ off of it.
That doesn't seem fair for the buyer or us.

Suggestions?
