    Well, I can see Frederik's point. Although I could see the potential for a small e-commerce business here that would take all the hassle away from administrators of Forums like this, and handle the, merchandising, billing and shipping etc. Big potential client base here with all the forums etc. that are out there in cyberville, each with there base of dedicated fans. The marketing would be the easy part.

    So.... maybe we could start a bidding war on Gaieus's hat, or Solo's polo's (love the rhyme).

    But first, here is why I should get Gaieus's hat. Here is a picture of mine, taken this morning. Look at this pathetic thing! So here is the thing. Gaeius's hat is too clean, obviously not worn enough, this is almost hat abuse! Hat's love to be worn, exploited. Besides, as someone pointed out Europeans don't play baseball, and you guessed it.... this is a baseball cap ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. You can't wear this will playing football (which those of us in the know call soccer), or cricket...
    Aside from that, I would promise to never wear it cranked hip hop style, but can't guarantee not wearing it backwards, as I am a catcher, (that's right I play baseball, just one more reason).
    So to start the bidding, I will offer $20.00 (almost par to the American dollar) Canadian Loonies for that hat. I will give it to Gaieus or the charity of his choice. Anybody do better?

      There's also the option to use a 3rd party like Smustard is doing with their merchandise through Cafepress ... ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Frederik, do you have any prices for the Kerky stuff?

      All of it or just some single items...??
      I'm sure we can find something out...

      I'd buy a kerky hat. I don't use it much, but I like the word cuz everyone who sees it will wonder "What the heck is a kerkythea?" It would give me an air of mystery and intrigue! Lemme know!

      ๐Ÿ˜† If you'll cover the shipping costs, I can send you one... ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Oh and P.S.
        To bid you must post a picture of your hat. No it doesn't have to be a baseball hat, and give us your best explanation as to why this endearing hat should grace your noggin.
        (I don't think Gaeius should really have any say in this, do you?)
        Oh and don't hesitate to try and talk Solo out of his shirt. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

          It's kind of funny...
          Not saying that people don't mean what they say here, but in the past we also had many users encouraging us to make Kerkythea merchandise and finally we made mousepads, t-shirts, polo-shirts and caps with a nice KT embroidery...
          However, although the prices were very low and fair (shipping costs included) only a very few items were sold and we decided to close the KT web-shop... ๐Ÿ˜ž
          (I still have a lot of these items at my home, so if anyone is interested... ๐Ÿ˜† )

          This is not to say that I don't find it being a good idea with some SCF merchandise, but no-one should expect huge income on it...
          (Perhaps it's also worth mentioning that there's A LOT of work involved in handling the shipment, packaging, storing in various sizes, lost items etc...!!)

          I like the maroon shirt!

                    Lol, not all of it. I'd be interested in maybe a mouse pad and a shirt; I have a big head, so it's heard to find hats that'll fit - even one-size-fits-tall type hats. What size are the hats, or are they the standard OSFA?

                      The idea was that the KT merchandise should be non-profitable, and the items were supposed to strengthen the community...

                      Surely we would/did not want to become rich from this either.
                      ๐Ÿ˜„

                      I believe it could be a cool thing but I understand that it would almost need a full time employee to "run" such an online store.
                      So even if we do something, we may stick to this "prize" thing that we have added to the Pรญranesรญ contest now. Or next time we meet at a 3D BaseCamp, SCF members travelling there can get a baseball cap or T-shirt.

                                Did you pick it up out of a pile on the floor, hang it up then take a picture? ๐Ÿ˜†

                                My polo is still too small for me. However I am 10 pounds down since my surgery. I will probably be able to wear it soon.

                                    Guys,

                                    Now that we have the SU to Piranesi Competition of the ground http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=27639 I will order 10 baseball caps from the company in the UK.

                                    It really would be far too much hassle setting up a shop to sell the polos and caps. As Csaba says, we would be better off just giving them away with events here. I think I will order some extra caps and have them as prizes for the Speed Modeling Challenge also.

                                    Talking about auctioning Shirts and Polos! Brad Schell sent me his collection of 'signed' @Last and Google SketchUp T-Shirts some time back. I sent one to Ross for his young lad's birthday as he is a SketchUp fan. When I say 'signed', Brad wrote his name on the neck label. Or maybe his Mom did so he would not loose them in the laundry ๐Ÿ˜„ Anyway, I have 4 left and will raffle a couple of them off as they must now be SketchUp Collector's items.

                                    Mike
