That would be correct. No money from me. They make money when they sell a
shirt or hat. For example, On the vendor price list a cap might be $12.00, I
can charge as much as I want and they send me what?s over the $12.00. I am
sure they don?t put the artwork on the stuff till you order a hat. The
computer would zip out a logo and send out the hat.  They are selling tons
of stuff as there are many ?specialty? shops selling their stuff. Now,
besides making whatever profit they do on their hats they are getting
6.50/mo from each storeowner.

The products are very good quality stuff and many of the motorcycle rallies
use cafepress for their rally shirts but you hat costs $8.00 in town and I
think their hat would be 15 or so bucks. It is a little pricey but they take
care of running the store.  I need to look and see what the Chicago group is
charging for stuff. I am sure our prices would be about the same. Just
enough to keep the lights on.

Does that mean you put up no money for the merchandise, just the $6.50/Mo?
And then they keep all the money from the product? That doesn't seem very
profitable for them unless you have to guarantee a min. quantity on each
item.

If there is really an interest in the stuff I could set one up for a while.
All I need to do is send them whatever artwork we wanted on the items. I am
guessing the logo with the green state and the arch.

They have changed the rules a bit. They used to be all-free with an upgraded
store as an option. Now I think we get the free basic store for a month then
we are automatically upgraded to the deluxe store, for $6.50 a month.

So, Glen, when are you going to get the store running? The merchandise looks
good. Of course it will look better with SLAGA on it. We can all look
official beating around the bushes for small film canisters.

the folks in Chicago are using the same e-store I was planning to use. Go to
the above link to see how their merchandise turned out.
