I did 50 in the initial print. Sat on them for about 2 months. Cried because I thought I chose the wrong shirt to print and then BOOM. AIG tanks, stocks drop dramatically and I sell 45 shirts in a matter of 4 days. Super.
You know whats killing me now, the Canadian dollar is dropping like crazy, just this summer we were on par with the American. Now my costs are going up like mad, im going to have sell stuff for USD instead of CDN on my site.

Do you anything else to attribute this to? Because for the most part I’m still in the sitting on them for 2 months phase.
It shouldn’t really be affecting anyone’s sales yet, at least in a noticeable way. Right now all of the sectors of the economy are relatively healthy except for the financial sector. People are still buying shit at the mall, markets, etc. However, if the financial sector continues to slide you will start to see prices everywhere skyrocketing and less people buying shit. So let’s just hope we can figure this thing out before it starts to effect the entire economy.

In my case, I get a lot of people who say they love what I’m doing . . but either they’re broke or they say their parents "don’t allow them to shop online".

no, just since the shit really hit with the initial failures of AIG, etc.
milkmedia… how many copies is that if you don’t mind. just curious. Or rather, how many copies do you get on a run generally?

No. I did get linked up on preshrunk.org, but according to the feedback, only 3 of the 45 came from them.
