Marty and Eric...what's stopping you guys from opening an eBay store and selling these on it?
I mean, really...you already have 100,000 prospective clients and it could be sold as a "buy it and it will be made and shipped to your door within x amount of days...make sure to order in time for the blackout." You really wouldn't even need a eBay store to do this, just a resale liscence and a couple people to manage the logistics. |

An Ebay store is a great idea.
We have enough cash sitting around where we could buy some in bulk, right? WTF else we gonna do with that cash?

Not only no but hell no. Sportsnutz is handling logistics. Badly but that's their baby. They can sell as many as they want but I've met the employees. There's not going to be an ebay store and there's not likely enough margin to hire somebody to do this.

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. |

Better yet would be to see if sports nutz would open the ebay store. Might help them manage all the orders. |

Yeah, maybe someone could set it up for them and show them how to run it.
It's not hard. We have 16 days. It's worth the effort IMO. People don't like ordering over the phone anymore.

I love the blackout, but part of me wishes the shirts were brown to reflect the giant turd that is dropped weekly at arrowhead.

Don't take what Sportnutz is doing for granted. You aren't going to find many people that are willing to take on the task and still be able to crank out the shirts in a short window. The logistics of the actual shirt inventory isn't as simple as people want to pretend.
It's far from ideal, especially for people out of town that want them, but its not like these shirts are the make or break aspect of the blackout.
