I'm not sure what you mean...I'd like to have more of my stuff screen printed but I'd need to simplify the designs more to keep the cost down I think. But I'm getting a lot better at photoshop now so I should be able to get some other designs dialed in...just need the time. *sigh* I meant that if you had a stockpile of ready-to-go tees in your basement (you know, next to the do-me chair) you might be able to sell them for less but still turn more of a profit than cafepress... Just an idea. I know nothing about the t-shirt business. Hell, I don't even know why I'm here, I know nothing about climbing.
I thought the "Do-me chair" was supposed to be our little secret.

I haven't seen it discussed here but buried in some trip report on Supertopo I saw a tee shirt idea that I would pay for, if someone mocked it up and it was available in a color like a dark blue or green or tan...
On the front it would just say:
"5.8"
On the back it would say:
"In Britain they call it VERY SEVERE"
What do you think?

I always loved this tee shirt, which I bought at a Dire Straights concert.
I called it my "Cannon Cliff Guidebook" tee. If you have ever attempted to top off of Cannon, you will know why...

i would love a shirt of a rack. not just on the front or anything, but if it were hanging across your chest on a gear sling. in the top left corner would be printed a strap that goes across your body. then at about mid chest there would be a bunch of nuts, cams, and carabiners that trails under your opposite arm and up the back to connect with the strap so it looks like you're wearing your rack whenever you wear the T shirt.

I just thought of one,
"Yeah, I make my own gear."
Of course I’d never make my own but RC.com should have them made for the cam comp competitors. Hint hint…

I'd buy one like that as long as it was done well and not cheezy, I like the idea.

I'll swipe Edge's design and add a hanging toprope.... But I gotta charge a dollar more.
(not really)
Here are some of the new ones I added to the shop since the "See No Beta" design a few pages back.
This one seems to be popular, probably the best selling one from the holiday season.
Also I redid the graphics on this one:
Not such a popular one.... but I like it, so don't really care.

Never been to Cannon. But I'm curious...why does that design represent topping off on Cannon?

You can go left, right, upways or sideways.
Basically if you commit to a direction on the upper part of Cannon, then you will inevitably top out.
You might piss blood and get a few pics like this:
Kinda like watching "Seven." You know Gwynneth is going to bite it, but you still must watch.

The hangers/rings would be line drawings, not photos, and there would be bolts drawn on and the rings would be dropped to the end of the slots as they would be if on a wall. Should I add it in?(Not asking "Will you buy?" but more like "Is it too repulsive?) Also - I can't remember what the orientation is for anchor hangers....Is this correct? [image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v408/happiegrrrl/Boltits.gif[/image] Hah! Now that's funny. Agreed. As for hanger orrientation - I would probobly take some artistic liberties here. The way they're orriented in your pic isn't right, but I think it would probobly look better than the correct orrientation. Agreed on that as well. I think you should also make a version for the older generation climbers. On the back? More Boobs, Less Bolts
I know this is a bit late, but... should that read fewer bolts?

I have been adding a bunch of stuff to my shop this last few days, and will update as I have time. But here's one of the new designs:
"Bouldering ~ The Path of Least Existence"
I am also going to add this to a separate shop with "Parcour" instead of bouldering(trying to expand and actually maybe sell some goods....I mean Parcour is so EXTREME!!! And in the media, and all....).
Anyway, this graphic comes in Black, Chocolate, Tan, Navy, Red or Light Gray on the a range of shirt colors and styles. The link to that section in my shop is:
http://www.cafepress.com/climbaddict/7026409
There's a few other things going on too.
- I run a promo called "Item of the Week Or So," in which I list one thing from the shop at the cafepress base price - no markup on my end. The base price is not as low as I wish it were, but this is out of my hands. At any rate, the "Item of the Week or So" gives people a chance to grab something at a lower price.
- I also run some goods with no markup in a section called "ClimbAddict Promotional Items." These products are with a ClimbAddict logo of some sort. While I know some people would never - ever - be a walking billboard, Dingus' remark about the URL on Climbing Trash's design made me just - have - to mention this section....
- I have a couple of Valentine's Day designs, and the section is up top in the shop easy enough to find. "You Send Me" is one. "Candy Hearts"(with "Take" and "Gotcha" on the hearts) is another. And the "Nut Bouquet" is also nice for V-Day.
I have had a creative surge over the weekend, and worked my butt off... Barely have scratched the surface on this motherload though. New crap being added daily and it looks like I have about 10 more design ideas to go.

And is the first the one you gave the idea for? "More Cowbell?" That one actually has been the one most often looked at and purchased.
