They will handle the orders on their site, handle the transactions through credit cards, Paypal, and checks and money orders. They produce and ship on demand, so IW wouldn't get hit with inventory costs or large orders. They will drop ship the order to the client for you. You sit back and get a check monthly. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] TRUE, they get a base fee for the merchadise, but YOU get to set the retail price, YOU choose your markup. They charge you about $15.00 for a shirt, and the site gets a profit of 2-3 dollars apiece. The quality is top-notch. I've order mugs and shirts through them before, from some of my favorite sites. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I'd definately look into it...

Awesome! I'll look into the site--Bookmarked it right away! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thank you!!

I hope so Grojlach. I have to admit I have completely lost my sense of humour concerning this issue.[/QUOTE]Epster, calm down!! Everyone has a right to their own opinion. I understood what you were saying, but this isn't anything to loose sleep over All those 'gold' ideas and Avatar ideas are dead.

See, I wanted to ask EVERYONE what I should do. Since you all are what drives this Great Forum, it's up to you pretty much! I was looking for ideas, and came up with some myself (ones I have seen OTHER sites do) but personally didn't like them--yet, I wanted to throw out the idea..

I respect each and everyones opinion here--this doesn't mean I will agree with them all, but I still respect them.

Now gimmie a HUG dammit! [img]graemlins/bighug.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think you've certainly got a lot of stuff here that you can work on. Some really creative ideas!

This is what we're all about, isn't it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Choc's a Star! hehe wild!

Sure thing, as soon as I finish the Logo, I'll post, as well as update the Forum logo too!

This new logo is TOTALLY different than any other you have seen before--I am designing it in a 3D Modeling program, and it'll have a really cool look to it.. nothing TOO flash though, but it will be different!

[Cloudbringer]

Can't wait to see it! That sounds wild! Well, maybe not as wild as the Chocnut, but still pretty neat!

Choc is gorgeous! He's gotta be on something! I'd even put him on a coaster! OOOH..now Choc on a mousepad...that would be FUN!!!!!

Originally posted by Lord of Alcohol: A two-tiered system would DESTROY Ironworks. Can you see some of the teens asking thier parents for money to donate to a website so they could have a better "avatar"? Can you see someone having to explain to thier wife/husband they have to pay $10/month or even a year to be a "full" member. Thats why there are so many objections Cerek. Elitism sucks, we dont need it here. I dont mean this as a flame Cerek, just posting my postition on the issue

Im not saying you are wrong here....I just do not understand why it is called "elitism" to let people who are comitted financially to have personalized avatars?? They get no special powers or rights or access to special places....just a picture.

EDIT: Gratitude and /or appreciation would seem to apply more properly to me....
