    Default Personalized Cube Pouches and Merchandise

    I'll be making custom personalized merchandise in order to fund a tournament I'm planning in December. Just wanted to know if you guys would be interested. As of now, I've managed to make cube pouches. They're made of pure cotton, have an inner lining (design selectable), can fit an SS 7x7 and come with your name and WCA ID embroidered (and an additional line of text, if you want it). The pouch is available in white (plain or corduroy) and black (cotton slik). As of now, I'm charging about $4 per pouch (excluding shipping). I want to know if that price is good or whether I should be charging more. (You can find pictures of the pouches on my FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/SCMU.2011

    Update: I've added custom tees. You can find them HERE. This is what they will look like:

    4 dollars? I don't think you can pass that up. Definitely will get one.

    Yeah, you could probably get away with charging a little more. Also, have you thought about putting the inner designs on the outside of the pouch? I'm interested I really like keeping my mains in pouches.

    How much more do you think I should charge? Does $5 to $6 sound decent? What do the others have to say on this?
    I'm keeping the outside plain as the tournament logo goes there. Also, embroidery might not look as good on a fabric with designs as it would on plain fabric.

    Internal lining designs look really nice. Would having it on the outside without embroidery be an option?

    Having sigs allow three lines | 3x3: ~13

    That looks really cool. Unfortunately there's no way I can pay you so I'll have to just admire the pictures...
    How do you make them?
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    You don't have a paypal? My friend's mom does professional computerized embroidery and stitching. We're teaching her cubing heh. The rest is obvious xD

    Alright, so I figured that opening a web portal to market the pouches (and stackmats, tees and other stuff in the future) is feasible. I'll have th store up in about 2 weeks
