What would Efren do...Shirt

$22.00 is WAY steep for the minimalist design. I hope that is because Efren is getting a cut.
You can build your own tshirt on many sites for less than that.

I think it is a bargain compared to other shirts out there like Affliction and whatnot. It is tough to find cool pool shirts out there and for $20 it is not too bad IMO. We cant find shirts on Nathan's site at Walmart for $10. :smile:
My cousin owns a screen printing shop and I had her make me a shirt up with this on i, cost me 11.50 on a good quality shirt......she also made me some hand towels with a 9ball rack for a WHOLE lot less that you can buy them online

That's a badass shirt. paying $15.00 for THAT shirt would even be a good bargain. Only thing that would be better is if it had his headshot form when he got the big huge paycheck from Trudeau...
I'm not a huge fan of $20+ tshirts anyways, because I know how cheap it is to print them up.
Russ
That is why $20 is not a bad price because if it cost you $11.50 plus shipping which is $3 or so and we are at around $15, you make $5-$10 profit depending on if you charge shipping and handling. I get shirts for OTR at about 5-6 a pop depending on size, we do not sell a bunch of them but people like them and they are simple one color prints. Either way would like to see more cool pool tees. :smile:
Print a shirt, and then sell it 67% off to your distributors, and see how much money you make. Unless you get your shirts printed in china, you'll be lucky to make $1.
Only sales made on my website result in me earning a few bucks. Any other retailer sells my stuff and I make almost nothing.
If you guys knew how little money I make doing this stuff, you'd shake your head and wonder why I even do it. Most people realize that I have a fair bit of talent for this sort of stuff, and they all know that I'd be far better off working for someone else in another industry. I just stick to pool because I love it. There is NO money in this, so I appreciate people like Lenny supporting me, and our game.
She has made me up like 15 shirts so far, they are all good quality shirts and she does excellent work. The image I got from someone on here, but I have made up some myself...for 11.50 I think its an awesome price
A lot of companies that do screening have a minimum order that needs to be filled, a set up fee, artwork fee, shipping costs, etc.
Unless you know what it costs to have something done, Id suggest you dont knock someone elses price.
I also believe (could be wrong) that Nathans prices are in Canadian dollars.
Key word here: cousin. Even with your family hook ups you're paying $11.50, plus all the effort you're going through to save a few bucks.
I will never understand pool players. Always grinding...
Thanks for the support. Much appreciated. Oddly enough, the USD and CAD are almost at even. It works out roughly the same either way.
Keep in mind that multiple colours drives the price of the shirt up, WAY up in most cases. The best you're looking at is probably 4 colours per shirt unless you go to sublimation.
I dont have a problem spending 20.00 on a shirt to help support people like TAR and OTR..I have bought a few from TAR and will order some from OTR as well.....
I ordered a 9ball hand towel from a billiards company for 10.00, and when I got it i was kinda pissed, it looked like a midgets hanky and it was really thin...so I had my cousin make one on a towel that hangs from a golf bag, that has the brass ring on the corner, she put an 8 ball on 1, and a 9 ball on another, and I had her put Sugartree Custom Cues on another...I spent less than 20.00 on like 4 towels....and they are thick good quality towels

Well, that's the point, isn't it? Don't go the retail route until you are making enough money off your site sales to justify the time you spend setting up distributors.
Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of your site, and if the prices were a little lower, I'd probably buy a bunch of shirts.
It's just like Hustlin' USA. They certainly weren't selling their tshirts $25 apiece at DCC, as far as I remember. If they had been, i woul not have bought any at all. As it was, they were about $5-$7 lower than that, and I ended up buying about $150 worth while I was there. I've wanted more, but they are just charging too much on the site.
I am very sensitive to price versus value. I love pool, and I love certain tshirt designs, but I just cannot see spending $25 on a tshirt when you can get a nice polo made out of nice material for the same price, and you look one heck of a lot more stylish in it.
Russ
Russ, I'm a bit confused. Hustling USA shirt's are $3-$5 more expensive than mine, and most of theirs are just single color, where as some of mine a 3+ colors. With the exception of my Efren and Hustler shirt, their shirts are also more simplistic than mine.
Selling stuff cheaper at events is allowed, but it's a big no-no on your own website. Lowering prices screws over your retailers.
