2 quick comments before I lock this thread.
First, this is not simply a matter of us purchasing some hats and t-shirts for resale. We need a complete E-commerce solution that outsources everything from website construction to billing and shipping. This is not where we want to put our efforts as a company. Furthermore, although shirts and hats are the logical starting point to gauge interest, we would like to offer manufactured goods and we have the capability to have pretty much anything made if we feel the demand is there.
Second, we do have a phone. If we missed an opportunity, that would be the way to rectify it.
