Reddit, can you get better shirts, please? (self.ideasfortheadmins)

I want to buy some reddit Tee shirts. I don't want $45 dollar polos like this.

How about some really simple reddit tee shirts for 10-15 bucks?

Thanks.

Yeah! All these $19 shirts are an outrage!

I think they'd sell more shirts with a lower price point.

$20+shipping doesn't seem worth it to me. I know it's kind of standard for printed t-shirts online, but that doesn't make it a good price.

Forget the shirts, I wouldn't even mind the $20 shipping to australia if I could buy one of those bobbleheads they used to have. Please bring them back eventually, admins. :(

Wow. That's the last thing that we do that somebody hadn't complained about before.

Well, time to close up.

I'm happy to be the first. I think cheaper and better shirts would be a good idea because it would make more users happy and it would make reddit some more money. I made shirts before and we had them screen printed for a cost of about $2 or $3 per shirt. Reddit could sell them for $10 and make a minimum of a 300 percent profit.

you assume the cost of production is the cost of goods sold. reality doesn't work that way.

I don't know where you're getting that from. Please explain?

you're confusing the cost of production ($2 or $3) with the cost of goods sold (some number less than $10, if it's sold for a profit) and claiming they can make a minimum 300% profit.

Reality doesn't work like that. You should look into total cost of ownership and COGS
