MerchandisingRob, sort it so the Wife can give you our money to help B3TA stay up. She's bought Craby's tee shirts for all of the family. If there were Tee Shirts and/or Mugs involved you could easily harvest lots of wonga from us. I think most people coming here would love to contribute some money especially if they got a barking B3TA tee shirt to wear down the pub or at interviews and weddings etc. I like the idea of icons showing which members support the site.

Obviuosly you couldhave our dosh anyway. But if there are tee shirts involved the Wife just shells out. Witness the Ceolocanth "its some sort of old fish" tee shirt she got before Christmas.

the only problem i can seeis where the initial cash will come from to make the first run of t-shirt, etc...
you could always use the cafepress approach but that could minimise profit in the first instance, it's a tricky one.

yeah. selling stuff is a pain.I've helped out some other people selling T-Shirts via the web.
Never again. Distribution is an utter pain - and for man hours vs. cash in er... I might as well do a freelance job and pay for the site myself.
Cafepress is the only way, but yep, tiny profit margin.

maybe go for a quick fix and see if it generates some cashyou might be right cafepress may be the answer, and it won't cost anything to set up.
the distribution network is there and i'm sure you could get something sorted fairly quickly.

Tee shirtsMy brother in law has a teeshirt factory here in Rio. My company does the exports for him.
I could get a quote from him if you like - we ship to Europe.

an affiliation with a uk printerswould be ace. provided it was set up so that individual customers accepted responsibility for copyright, of course =)
