The main problem is just the overhead in people time. Ever seen that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's getting a bunch of checks that are less than $1? Putting in that kind of royalty system or something for skinners could get painful.

I think it would make much more sense to have a Skinnerz CD which has suites that can be downloaded or sent as a CD for $19.95. So instead of having a bunch of $5 sales, you have a single $20 one.

Paxx the Quebec don't have enought compagny to offers job to everyones. A lot of compagny in Quebec don't have a lot of money.

You know why we have this problem in the province of Quebec? Because everyone wants FREE stuff. Nobody wants to pay for things like that.

So you really think we can sell 5000 suites every months? How can you tell this? Explain me, you are showing what you suggest but please, explain us all cost it may have and explain us how you can tell we can sell 5000 suites per month.

Hey! Who will make this great suites every months? Don't take this too personnal but I don't like the way you think about this.

I think I'd pay up to $8 for a coffee mug. Maybe more if neccessary. My friend's mugs were made in China and $5 was his landed cost, after duties and freight. Maybe he exaggerated to give them more value They were exceptional mugs though.

There's a lot of quality differences in promotional products. Sometimes it's worth it to buy a higher quality piece for a little more money (since these won't be given away).

I'm looking forward to whatever you guys decide to sell. I'm living on a day-to-day income of freelance work right now so I probably wouldn't buy any skin suites. Maybe I could rent one though

isn't renting skin illegal david?

I think it depends on what you do with it mig

If I could get a mug, t shirt and cap for $25 + $5 shipping, I would buy them. Is that possible?
And would it matter that I live in England?

Of course I only want the shirt if it has China's fonts in it. I mean ON it!! phew!

F&%# thinkgeek, we need thinkskin!

Alexandrie: Paxx the Quebec don't have enought compagny to offers job to everyones. A lot of compagny in Quebec don't have a lot of money.

Huh? Why do you say that? There is actually a shortage of qualifies tech people in Quebec. I don't know one programmer in Montreal that does not have a job. Half decent programmers are so rare that companies often pay a LOT of money to get them. A friend of mine has only 3 years of experience since he got out of school and just got offered ajob for 65,000$ Amasing. Maybe wheer you live there is not a lot of job because it is a very small town, but in Montreal, don't worry, there is no problem in the technology market.

As for why I think there will be 5000 suite sold? I based it on the site's traffic as reported by Brad: hundreds of thousands of people each month. I don't know what exact amount that is but since "hundreds" is plural, lets call it 200 000. Lets assume 0.5 percent (or 1 person in 200) buys a suite every month, that would mean 1000 suites sold. And as I said, I believe that number wold increase as more suite are available. I read an article that said once that an average of 1 percent of the people register their shareware. If we apply that here, one percent could be interesting: 2000 sold minimum.

Anuway. I don't mean to argue here. It was just an idea. I just wanted to help. Sorry.

Put me down for a Coffee Mug, that I would take in a heartbeat.... Never have to many Coffee Mugs (Unless you ask my Wife ) Anything that would help offset the cost of the bandwidth I'm up for.

We could sell Grog....

Don't be sorry Paxx, I just give my 2 cents like you. I'm trying to participate a little more in the msgboard because I usually stay in the dark and just read. And for the Quebec problems I was talking in general way, not about a specific compagnies and no specific place too. We have a major problem here nobody wants to pay for anything. I know Paxx there is exeptions but they are few.

I'm gonna move to Quebec! I want free stuff too

Alex, you're up too late again... don't you ever sleep?

/me moves to Quebec too then, no wait...
/me 's French is terrible
/me decides to sell Grog instead

I don't think we are worse than anybody else for wanting free stuff. We don't have anything more for free than anybody else. Sure, we have some lazy people who take advantage of welfare to live on the state's money, but hose people exist everywhere in the world. Why do you say we want things for free more than anybody else? I don't think it's true.

Anyway, as I said, for sure there are people who want free things, and there are people (like me) who have a limited budget and thus can't afford to buy a lot of stuff. And that is precisely why I was suggesting this because I can't afford to buy a 55$ CAN CD, where I could afford to pay 7.50$ CAN for a suite once in a while.
