Need advice: do you think these would sell?
I have an opportunity to pick up a bunch of these shirts at a really low price -- but I have no mechanism in place to sell them, but I wondered if putting them here would generate enough interest for me to do this? What do you think? I need to decide very quickly or the opp will pass.

2. I'm not really familiar with them
But I thought they provide the merchandise?

These are already made, and if I can be sure there's a market, I'd consider buying them to resell.

Testing the waters, more or less.

Thanks for the reply!

4. Well if you have the product
I truly suck at marketing or capitalism. I'm sort of allergic to it.

Not a good thing in this culture of greed for sure,

Good luck with your endeavor though.

5. Me too. That's exactly the problem, lol.
Oh well, I guess we can't all be successful capitalists.

3. Become opportunist
My housemate made a killing by designing and screenprinting "I stood in line for Star Wars Episode I" shirts, which he sold to all the dumb bastards that stood in line. Some tips from him:

•find your market. Protests? Rallies? The corner across the street from your state's primary voting precincts? BushCo. motorcade passing through?
•wheel and deal. multi-shirt discounts!
•repost to DU marketplace, craigslist, etc.
