*NEW*--TheDarkTower.com Clothes and Stuff

[Matt]

Hey Everybody

The idea for a tdt.com shop has been on my mind since the beginning and talked about on the site for a while. I researched several options but we are going to start with Cafe Express.

The New TDT.com Shop

**100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS SHOP WILL BE DONATED TO:

The Haven Foundation

Couple of things before you buy

• Items are "marked up" a maximum of 5 dollars--all proceeds will be donated to the Haven Foundation
• This is the free version of CafeExpress and therefor does not have all the bells and whistles. If this becomes popular, it will be upgraded.
• Products are "as you see them"--which means you should really concentrate on the photo before you buy
• The choices and colors there are all there is
• You should be able to choose sizes
• The graphic I used for the logo is a scan of the original painting. I believe cafe express removes the background but I am not sure.
• Please use caution before buying
• The text on some of the shirts says "I held Palaver at..."--then has the logo on the back.

Why Cafe Express?

• Its free to the site for us to use
• It allows members to buy one piece themselves instead of me buying bulk and sending out
• If we upgrade to the paid version, many more choices will be available
• Its a quick, easy way to get something like this going

So have a look and ask questions here. I would love it if people going to the Three Kings signing wanted to buy one but its totally up to you.

I am going to purchase two so I can figure out the quality. I have never bought cloths from CafeExpress so I cannot speak to their durability.

This is also a great cause so I hope people will buy. All purchases will be tracked and a donation progress bar will be provided to the site.

Thank you

Awesome idea. I love the charity!

This is super cool, Matt. I've wanted something tdt.com related Thanks!


and, I think the selection is pretty great.

[Matt]

Thanks you guys

I forgot to mention how Cafe Express works.

Basically, they have their own charge and we get to add a bit. So if a shirt is 17.95 and I put on the maximum 5.00...that would make it 22.95.

The charity only gets the 5.00

The pins and magnets--stuff like that are less than 5.00 mark up. Sometimes only 1.00.

So, at best case. We sell 20 shirts and make 100.00 for the charity at 5.00 a pop.

[Darkthoughts]

Nice

[Matt]

Wow! That got there quick.

Looks great Chris--it seems like they removed the background from the pic.

[William50]

Nice shirt!

[Randall Flagg]

Hey, how did you get the shirt so fast?
I ordered first and have yet to receive mine.

[Storyslinger]

Great idea, on my way to order.

[Matt]

I understand the logo on the shirts is a bit faded. I am not sure if it was the specific run that this member got or if they are all that way.

If the quality is poor, I will pull the store before people get screwed. It was the only way to do any merchandise for the moment.

The one on Chris' shirt above doesn't seem too bad, but please keep this in mind if you decide to order and donate.

[Randall Flagg]

Here is the picture of the shirt Matt is referring to.
Judge for yourself if the black ink is VERY light.
