Hubski should change suppliers then. I can buy those items from manufacturers well below the cost posted on the swag link. If they're seriously interested in selling a few more swag items, I could probably help them. I'm assuming that the reason they haven't sold hardly anything is because no one in their right mind would pay $31 for a TPU case that's commonly sold without a logo online for $8. (That's the excellent quality name-brand ones, you can buy the crap ones for $1.50) You can buy them in bulk and have them printed for less than that. Same thing for shirts and stickers and such. Not a judgement, just an observation.we have the margins set at zero
Pretty close to it; for example, 100 stickers will get you a pretty dang good price. Not truly on-demand though. There are certain order points.
We give stickers away for free and don't put them on the swag page. Everything else there was put up so that people could have access to them, not for us to make money. I suppose someday we may get to the point of creating and housing our own swag store, but right now the entirety of our focus is on making/keeping Hubski a place for thoughtful discussion. Everything else is secondary. I appreciate the thought though. If we were ever to make t-shirts ourselves, I know we could get a FAR better deal. I have a t-shirt guy that someday I'll use. kevinstep
