What you say is right...and that is the upside of Cafepress.
What you might not realize, though, is that they overcharge
HEAVILY.
If I remember correctly, they paw every cent till 15 Dollars
are reached for T-Shirts. The rest goes to the artists.
That means, artists have to charge at least 18$ to get
a decent cut for a shirt.
Not that I wouldn't pay that much for a cool SWS-Shirt but
I just feel that those pple at Cafepress are too greedy.
I mean, hey, me, as a normal guy can go
to a shop around here and get a shirt pressed for 8-10 Euro.
That is END-Customer Pricing. So, Cafepress shouldn't have a
problem with charging 12$ max, still get decent money for
their service and give the rest to the artists.
Well, that's my 2 cent to that.
Now to make this post a tad more interesting..I just watched
the good ole "Small Soldiers"-Movie again and I wondered
just what would have happened if that had been SWS-Trio Figures
instead of the Soldiers...
