Selling RPM Resto&Custom Shirts to Raise Funds...

[HardcoreZ28]

Ok guys I'm almost done developing my website but I'm flat broke right now. Â*I'm thinking about having some black t-shirts made up with the company logo on the front like this http://community.webshots.com/photo/297181950/297677704OuUMuI and the flame logo on the back like this http://community.webshots.com/photo/297181950/297183386KNXPwA.

I am going to talk to some people I know about having them made up and I'll probably sell them for about $2 profit. Â*This money will be used to purchase the domain name, web hosting, and to register the business name. Â*These are only the first steps in a long process ahead and I won't be doing any actual business for about a year but I need the money to start coming in somehow plus the shirts should look cool and you guys would be helping me get the name out early.

If you're interested just post on here...I'll keep a list and I'll get you guys a final price after I talk to some printing places. Â*Thanks!

PS- Can one of the moderators make this a sticky?

Then after you launch the company you need to change the t-shirt design so that those of us who bought one, own a collectable after the company goes public. Right? :wink:

I need more "collectable" stuff to sell on ebay to support my other addictions.

[HardcoreZ28]

Hahaha......maybe I'll make the t-shirt say "limited edition" too

[Tru2Chevy]

I'll buy one, they look cool :)

I suppose you can do what OCC did - sell in every K-mart, mall kiosk, and Kohl's. Â*Then you have to develop a video game. Â* :roll:

C'mon Paul, yer slackin!

[HardcoreZ28]

Haha.....I have that video game.

Put me up for one.

And no, I've got nothing better to do at work right now than be a post whore until my meeting in 15 mins.

[j0n]

i really want one but i need to buy an opti and a water pump...so depending on when the sale goes down and whether im back up and running i can buy one...but the shirt idea is badass...they'll ook great

[HardcoreZ28]

Jon....probably won't be for a month or so....let me know if you want on the list. By the way..sorry to hear about your opti problems.

[jims69camaro]

i think you should put the flame on the left *** and the other design across the back. i'd buy one.

[heavy_chevy29]

how much. id probably buy one. they look pretty cool

[HardcoreZ28]

No definite price yet. I'm going to talk to some places next week to get some numbers. I'll consider switching the logos around, but I think I like it the way I planned it.

I won't count the last two as definites until I get a price and you give me a for sure.

[enRo]

Put my name up... ill help out ;-)

[HardcoreZ28]

Thanks....much appreciated.

[formulaMARK]

Ill buy one.

[blck81z28]

id say put a diff design on the left chest in small writing and put the fame desgin across the back, btw im up for one too

[IROCdan330]

i say have one of the designs centered and big on the front of it...and have the other design small and centered inbetween the shoulder blades, towards the top, on the back. something different and modern.

[Fasterthanyou]

Nice... all these t-shirts and I won't ever have to go to a busy Mall again! I hate crowds and you'd think with my height it wouldn't bother me but it does.

[HardcoreZ28]

Thanks for all the support guys. For now I'm sticking with my original design.

IROCDan and FasterThanYou should I add you guys as definites?

[Fasterthanyou]

Yeah

[Ian]

T-shirt eh? I could use one of them. Put me down for one. 8)

[jims69camaro]

i want to support your efforts because of the new business and all, but i don't want to buy a t-shirt that i'll never wear. i'll have to see one in person in order to say definitively whether i'd buy one or not.

i'm also not knocking your design skills. i'm just very particular about what kind of clothes i wear. way back when i worked for 7-11 and all of the cig vendors were knocking us over with their t-shirts not to mention all of the other freebies and the natural collection of Ts, so my closet is full of t-shirts that i don't wear (or only wear under another shirt).

lemme know when they're printed.

[HardcoreZ28]

No problem....I'm probably going to order 25-30 of them so I have some extras. I have a friend of mine with family in the t-shirt business working on prices for me right now. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have a set price.

[HardcoreZ28]

Ok guys I should hopefully have a price tonight or tomorrow.

[Untamed]

Make sure it says "Limited Edition" on it. Even if my car isnt a classic years from now, maybe my shirt will be. :P

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

sign me up :)

[HardcoreZ28]

Ok guys...I got the price today. Shirts will be $15 each. I need to order a minimum of 25 though so I need to get atleast 10 more people on here to buy one. I'm getting these made up to raise money for the webhosting, not to loose money so talk to your friends on here and convince them to buy one. :wink:

I have about 5 friends from school and such who want one so I need to get the list on here up to about 18 or 20. After that I will start accepting money through PayPal or cash and place the order.

[enRo]

:w00t: :cool:
I'm still in for buying 1 ;-)

[j0n]

got my ass a job last week so im down(after my second paycheck)!!!
:)

[HardcoreZ28]

Sounds good...thanks guys. I'll let you know as soon as I'm going to start accepting payments. They have to be in advance since I'm still broke. Luckily I"m only 3 months away from being debt free!

The money raised from the t-shirts will be paying for web hosting and business cards to start advertising. Once the ball is rolling hopefully I'll start being able to line up potential customers.

[HardcoreZ28]

Ok I added all the people that want them who aren't on this board. I need to hit like 23 people before I order so anyone else that's interested please let me know.
