Need some advice on a business venture

Edited: 2/13/2008 10:49:14 PM by IB2LOUD

I run a website right now doing prints and posters from car show pictures, and making display posters for the cars. (the site is down right now due to a host mixup)...anyway, I was thinking about getting some equipment to start doing simple heat transfer t-shirts and mouse pads, and possibly setting up at shows to sell them and take orders for the prints. Now, I am not a business man so i was hoping for some opinions on what you think honest prices are and suggestions on what I should look out for. I don't plan on making a huge company, and I just go to hot rod shows in the area so it's more focused towards the older crowd.

Let me know any advice you may have, and what you think decent prices are for tshirts, mousepads, and poster sized prints. I know it costs to set up vendor space at shows, so I just want to make sure I'm not starting a moneypit because I already have one of those!

thanks!

Here is a sample of what I'd be making

if you buy that type of equipment forget doing car/truck stuff. my little cousin and my son asked me for a "yugioh mat" last year for xmas. i almost shit my pants when i saw how much these things were going for... they are made of mouse pad material (fabric top / rubber back) and have various stuff on them used for yugioh tournements. my son doesnt play anymore, i just remember these things and me saying no way i'm paying $100.00 for a damn giant mouse pad! take a look on ebay - youll shit!

that's crazy

i guess it wouldn't be limited to car/truck stuff, but that's just where my interests are so that's where I would probably begin

did you look on ebay? jessica alba mat.... $80 freakin dollars!!
