FFR T-Shirt "top 1000" '08

Kagami_Hiiragi · 12-23-2008, 01:40 PM

i was wondering...

if there is going to be a top 1000 t-shirt this year.

[TeRa] · 12-23-2008, 01:40 PM

No, reason being profit. Only people who are on the shirt would buy it, and of course not all of them would buy it, therefore they would lose money making the shirts, which is what happened last time.

dietsnapple135 · 12-23-2008, 01:43 PM

Yeah, given that, obviously, no more than 1000 people would by it, and the shirt is more expensive than usual due to the large amount of print, it isn't profitable and will never be made.

Already been discussed, it's not happening.

**L0NEvvolf** · 12-23-2008, 02:06 PM

LOL!
If they say they are making one in a week, I will whore like crazy until I am top 300. No joke.

**Adamaja456** · 12-23-2008, 02:47 PM

just make a limited number.

# of people that bought the shirts last year= print around that number this year.

either they all will get bought or there will be a few leftovers.

ps id buy 2 cuz my friends wants one with my name on it

**jump_the_bullet** · 12-23-2008, 04:23 PM

**L0NEvvolf** · 12-23-2008, 04:24 PM

I don't see why this can't be done. Just call it "Limited edition or something", it's not necessary to get a whole bunch.

Not trying to sound rude or anything:

It's been asked countless times before--it won't happen. You can't simply say make the amount that people bought last year because you won't be able to predict how many will want to buy. If you make that amount, and people buy less than what is made, you have a huge deficit. It's not worth the risk.

justin_ator · 12-23-2008, 04:40 PM

Here is an idea. Take orders and then at a set deadline order that many shirts. Make them pay ahead of time if you have to.

I want one too, now that I'm on it.... xD

**devonin** · 12-23-2008, 05:02 PM

But the price won't be able to be set properly until after they commit to an order of a certain size. Bulk discounts and all.

They'd have to overcharge everybody on pre-orders and then refund the extra money after the fact, which is really a pain in the ass.

**syzergy** · 12-23-2008, 05:39 PM

To bad its been my dream to be on a top 1000 shirt since a year ago. Id pay over 50$ for one with my name on it.

Or keep the extra and tell them it is a donation to the site.
Or, keep the money and give them an equivalent value of subby time.

See above about "more trouble than it is worth"

**Tarrik** · 12-23-2008, 05:50 PM

Damn, in '07 i was rank like, 700 or something, and now I'm rank like..383, I'd seriously pay like..up to..maybe $80 for the shirt :/

**devonin** · 12-23-2008, 05:52 PM

For one, I doubt if it came down to it, you actually would pay 80 dollars for the shirt. For two, you're about the only one.

I genuinely think that even at 15 dollars US each, they'd sell -maybe- 150 shirts.
