Did you look at the quality of the clothing? We're not talking
WalMart specials here.

The most comfortable t-shirt ever! Our 100% cotton, Hanes Beefy-T is
preshrunk, durable and guaranteed.
* 6.1 oz. fabric - luxuriously soft 100% cotton ring-spun yarn
* Double-needle coverseamed neck
* Taped shoulder-to-shoulder
* Double needle sleeve and bottom hems
Our printing is better than ever — full of detail and color — and
exceptionally fade resistant wash after wash.

Most of the shops I looked at charge $15-18US for t-shirts. If there
is a demand, then Jim can't help but make money. And he doesn't have
to fight anyone to get it done. And you can have more than one shop
with links between them.
I furst saw this on one of TechTV's shows. They rated it highly for
ease of use and product quality.
