Swag is the key for me. I will pay extra for something which supports a cause I like, where I wouldn't give the actual cash at face value. Would I give NPR $20 even though I should? No. Would I if they sold me a $20 t-shirt that cost them $5 to hand out? Yes I would.

I want a hubski t-shirt. Sell that for $20, keep the profit to run the site, done-zo like Funzo.

The are hubski goods, which I'm assuming go to support the site, they just aren't very visible.

That's a major problem in selling something. As well, I'm not aware of how much of my money goes back to Hubski on that site. That's a major difference in buying a t-shirt that supports Hubski and supporting Hubski and getting a t-shirt in return.

Pretty sure they wanted the logo out there more than they wanted money so they are cost price or something.
