@Minion-Queen @BBigford @DustinB3403 Expert Ts Design Their quote for 50 shirts is at $10.04 each (still, that's $1004 total), and a single one for $17.49. I wouldn't trust that site for anything, if anyone else is interested in picking one up I'll go to the actual store. Worst site I've seen in years security wise.

Whoa, that is super affordable at $10.04 for 50 shirts considering it is 70% less than buying only 1. That's some good profit margin for ML.

@Minion-Queen, you could do the pre-order route... let people know that it could take an indefinite amount of time until the limit of X-needed was reached, then orders would be processed. Unless that is getting to be too much of a hassle for ML attire. If you're only generating interest of dozens at a time, like a quarterly surge of 30 people, you could determine an amount that would be needed to make the whole thing worth it (like 50, 75, etc). You wouldn't really have to even figure in shipping, you could just pass that cost to the purchaser. The only thing I would be concerned about would be the margin of payment processing. If you had a business plan, you would get the standard 3% off the front end removed in no time, but that 3% on the back end to the processing company...

I can easily do that. I do enough business to already not need to worry about it.

SW just posted a cloud poll that is basically a bunch of questions that if you answer yes to ANY of them (which is required to submit the poll) you'll look like a dolt. They are so bad at making surveys that they just made one that guarantees 100% idiocy.

So this wasn't a user-generated poll? That's just a sad bunch of marketing people trying to manage IT people... it won't end well.

Exactly. Marketing people making a poll about how end users in IT are often fooled by marketing. What could go wrong?

Spaghetti wrangling will level up today I think.
