Yes - yes it is! It should get to you in time Chris. If it hasn't arrived by tomorrow, drop me a line, and I might be able to get my prototype to you for Thursday. Identical, except a large and the lettering's a bit wrong! I was at a stag do over the weekend in Newcastle but the maker had your address before the weekend. Unfortunately Demon internet's systems are screwed all to hades and back at the moment it seems so if she's emailed me about anything I may not have received it yet... I'll try and see what's happening tonight. She may well have used a courier so it may not arrive at normal post time today. Just have faith!

Oooh, suits you Sir!

Well, I just read through this whole thread and was quite a bit surprised that there wasn't a single mention of CafePress.com. I know several people who have sold items through CafePress.com and supposedly it is a fairly simple system.In fact, it's SO simple that I just made my own store!Of course, I am not going to give you the address, because I refuse to sell anything without contacting some people about using copyrighted material.Here are some sample pictures of the products I made in about an hour.Impressive, no? And the prices are good too. I don't know what the conversion rates are, but here are the US prices:t-shirt: US&#3614.99golf shirt: US&#3616.99sweatshirt: US&#3620.99baseball cap: US&#3612.99stainless steel travel mug: US&#3614.99There are many other products available too. Andy, do you think there's any chance of us doing this legally -- or doing it without getting caught?

Oooh, suits you Sir!

It's an interesting idea Brad, but to date I've only had orders from the UK. By the time I'd paid postage and customs duty from the US and added the mark up it wouldn't really make any difference cost wise and I'm not sure it'd be faster.There are, of course, copyright issues which is why I'm using Steve Kyte's original work with his permission rather than a screen capture, and I've emailed Enoki to let them know I'm doing it. What I will probably do, though, is add the Star Fleet logo to the shirt; again I've let Enoki know and if they don't object I'll go ahead although I may need to raise the price a little.The other thing is, I know the person who's making the shirts so although it's a slightly complex arrangement I trust them to do a good job - they've even given me free proof-of-concept shirts. The level of demand isn't really high enough to need a more efficient system...Dean, I've emailed you with the details, BTW...

Oooh, suits you Sir!

Excellent points, Andy. Plus, I had forgotten to take into account the added cost of overseas shipping and such.No worries, though. I've already closed down that free account; I never intended to keep it open anyway.
