We are talking about 2 weeks worth of work and if we opened an ebay store and turned a 3 dollar profit on each purchase and sold 3-500 units, it would easily recoup the cost of the labor involved in having a planet member handle taking shipments of product and using flat rate boxes to ship them out.
I dont think this would be as hard a venture as some of you think.
For every person that takes the time to go to their store to purchase one of these or takes the time to call them to place an order, 2 people (of the 100,000 twitter followers as prospective customers) would gladly click on a link to an Ebay store where they can buy the shirt/hoodie online.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a venture like this yielding 5 or even 10,000 sales and at that point there are services that handle logistics if it gets too big for one or two planeteers to handle and if we sold 5,000 that would yield enough profit to do something really big for the movement.
If not, oh well...but I think just selling these at just one store (not even all of the sportznuts stores, just one) is just the tip of the iceberg and can ultimately downplay the effect come the 18th.
You, yourself said that the number sold wasn't nearly enough.
I think a link to an ebay store going out on all of the SOC social media would get the results we all want:
A truly blacked out Arrowhead on the 18th.
