What part of "I dont control the price" are you not getting from the existing discussion on this?
Price is set by volume. The final price will not not be available until I have an idea of how many people are actually interested and willing.
There is a pretty significant price difference between an order of 20, an order of 40 and an order of 70. Without already knowing how many people are interested I have to give the worst possible price or am not being honest with people. If you practice your literacy you'll note I specified up to $35.

And how exactly would a discussion thread give me a better idea of the count per size people are willing to buy than a poll with those specific sizes and values?
Once we have proper ballparks of values and if it comes out decently there will be a pre-order option added to the Market to do actual purchases at whatever the final price ends up.

I don't think 30$ is too much... I would and might pay them. If the final price is lower I won't even think about it  .
I don't know my size so I'll ask later and vote later.

I think he's suggesting to switch companies.
Perhaps you can order 70 and hoard them until they're all sold?

And where will the money for the extra shirts come from, Corn?
Not to mention what value would they have if they all ended up sizes no one wanted?
Even if they were only $20 a shirt as Niernin mentioned 20* $20 is still $400.
As for switching Companies, I'm already looking at six different ones, but it's rather expensive to run quality tests on all of them based on the less volume equals more cost theory and the options available for ordering are also subject to change based on quantity just as the prices do. Which just brings us right back where we are; Have to gauge explicit and specific interest to fully gauge options.

Investing requires capital. Pony up, boyo.

Will I get a percentage off if I were to say wear the shirt out in public for promotional purposes? Surely this shirt was not made to be worn outside, right?

This? It'd be better as a poster, though.

I agree with Loose on that it'd be better as a poster. Would definitely buy that too. XD

Semi good news - Based on the volume from the 75 votes currently up there our price would be about $25 right now and may continue to drop as more people become interested.

I don't even recognize half of the people in the poll. They probaby just voted without the intention of buying a shirt.
Unless we have some really devoted lurkers.

Not to burst the bubble here, but like.. half of those votes were "No I don't want to buy a shirt".
