But god, 20 bucks for a coffee mug? 11 bucks for a mousepad? This is the biggest ripoff since Starbucks. Of course, once again, no one in their right minds would buy this, but wow. That's just wrong.

I agree that the items are a bit pricey. But who knows, they could be high quality?

But also don't forget that the items have just come out, this means that they should start off overpriced and then slowly come down to a more reasonable level as the demand decreases

You guys have got to be joking. I am so getting the mousepad and mug. Chance I'll be getting the shirt too. Hell, I want all of it, those are just the things I want the most.

I would prefer a keyring which isn't a circle. I want the logo on a metal base just by itself. No silly white circle which looks bleugh.

Well he should have... Either he should have started off with an even higher price, brought it down a bit 2 months later, then base the price on the time of year.

...Its a few s*** and other misc. knicknacks. Not high quality electronics or fancy furniture or an expensive Whatever.
It should be cheap. Seeing as how its still expensive. The shirts are just like Fruit Of The Loom, which come in like, 5 packs for a few bucks.

I should look into that, I might be able to work on getting a limited shipment to send out myself Yeah sorry, it won't let me go any lower.. That's like telling me to jack up the price now Well, the basic mug for one thing is only $14 as compared to $20 like you originally said. But putting that aside, the idea here is that you're not going to a convenience store to get this stuff. Either way I'm not forcing you to buy so if you don't want anything it's no biggie.

Possibly. From here, once you've gotten yourself in the situation you're in, I'd close the shop for ahem 'technical reasons', reopen the shop a month later with everything a bit more expensive, then a month later, bring the price down to half way between the 2 prices and then a month later, bring it down to the original price. Then, for things like Christmas, Easter, etc. since you're making a huge profit per item, you can say 25% off all stock! Thus having a huge amount of sales then, from Christmas money and for gifts. I'd also throw in a few highly overpriced 'limited edition' items.

They're novelty items, not rocks.
Of course they're going to cost more, Cleod's not making them, and he has to increase the price if he wants to make some profit, meanwhile Zazzle's going to have to get so much money per item, and since they're customized I expect that number to be rather large as well.
