I thought it was an easy money maker at first too. I would do some homework first. Either that or you will end up doing a massive job and find that for all your trouble, you made less than you would have working at McDonalds.

Re: thinking about starting a mail order company
im too lazy to quote the people i am replying to so here is a reply for everyone.
i have talked to jeff and as long as he approves the design him and i will set up a commision for HMT to recive from each shirt sale. i talked to him before i even put thought into the 1st design.
as far as the design of the logo, i am open to suggestions. its going on a black shirt so remember that. its hard to make things show up on black. i am pretty much going with the banner at the top of the site and maybe some random quotes on the back that only real HMT nogs would get. also if i give my friend a rough idea he can make it nice, thats what he does.
as far as profits go, im not going to discuss that with anyone but jeff. but rest assured it will be worth my time and i dont plan to charge anymore than $15 shipped per shirt and probobly a discount for multiple quantities
i have never seen any of the prevous shirts so i dont have anything to copy to keep it original but as far as stickers go, i plan to keep those the same and im not sure about thongs, ill see if my friend can get them.
i need an idea of sizes also. im sure large and X-large will be the biggest sellers, are there any other sizes i need to check into?
