Quick t-shirt story. We used to sell t-shirts here on Bumfuzzle, then I read on one of those famous sailing forums about how we made a ton of money off of them—because this guy owned a bar and his shirts only cost him three dollars each, and we were charging twenty-five. Greedy A-Holes that we are.
Something along those lines. Anyway, t-shirts are super cheap if you buy a hundred of them at once, and then ship them off one by one as the orders come in. Well, that doesn’t work so well for us—obviously. We’re not carrying around a hundred shirts, and we’re not shipping them from Mexico. So that leaves the online stores that will print one shirt on demand and do the shipping for you. And those my friend, cost exactly what we are charging. We have never made money on t-shirts, and most likely never will, because we are nomads, not bar owners.
Phew, got that off my chest. That’s the reason we haven’t had shirts for sale for ages. It was a pain. But now we’ve decided to get ourselves some new shirts anyway, so what the heck—here they are, should you be interested. Bumfuzzle T-Shirts For Sale
I should also mention that you can change the colors, choose a different t-shirt brand, whatever you want to do on there.
[Update: With this new site I found it appears we will make 5% on the sale. So yeah, sail around the world kind of money.]

I knew it! You aren’t trading stocks, you are repairing boat things and renting condos on $1.15 a shirt. I have to inform the forum, whatever that is. We got the same crazy reaction that Lowe gets in Mexico when we took our Blue/Blonde 11 month old boy to Peru. They were mesmerized. 10 more years! 10 more years!
What happened to the podcast?
I knew the truth would come out eventually. 🙂 Podcast? Well, we realized we’re truly Slackers. Podcasts are work. Unpaid work.
If I send you a picture of us in our Bum T-shirts will you post them on the site? 🙂
If you come to Mexico, play with the kids on the beach, take me out for pizza, and rub Ali’s back, then, and only then, will I consider such a crazy idea.
Oh, okay, I changed my mind. All you have to do is get Curt and Lea to smile.
I think the first comment would be more enjoyable; however, I will see what I can do on the second! Miss you.
If I send you a picture of me in my new t-shirt, will you promise me NOT to post it on your site!?
Magic, this I can promise you. 🙂
Pat,
Look into http://teespring.com/ to do your shirts. You’ll get significantly more income with the same or even lower price than using Zazzle.
