Artists4Water, by Invaded 420 on Mar 13, 2014 19:09:33 GMT 1, it lets you put more that 100 shirts in your basket, so not sure how their inventory's working on this one... yeah so strange. Really hope were all lucky. Maybe they will just go through the list and cancel multiple orders? No where does it say limited to 1 per person though so who knows. Hopefully they just print what they sell

Just what I was thinking...
This will be the second time items were for sale but not available. The first time they asked if I wanted to donate, you can bet your arse I'm not donating a penny.

I think we'd all be happy if they just printed as many as they sold, it's for charity anyway sort of so why not just print 1000 if that's wot people want

If it was 100% to charity I would have bought one but now I'm passing. I would bet while someone is making money here it isn't BNE.

Even a very high-quality blank is about $5 in bulk. On average, a good blank is about $3 in bulk. If you have a shirt from them, look for an RN number on the tag. If you post it, I can look it up and get a pretty good idea how much they cost.

My shirts are quite ordinary 100% cotton shirts. If I had to guess, they're probably printing on American Apparel organic blanks. (They said they're made in the U.S. and organic.) The printer I've used in the past charges about $8 for them, including the printing. If they do a lot of shirts, they're probably getting them for a bit less. On the very high end, I'd say they're paying at most $10 per shirt, including printing and shipping.

Artists4Water, by thisisanton on Mar 14, 2014 16:50:07 GMT 1, Found this on their Facebook page: $7 is about 20%, that's what will be donated from all BNE products. We are not a charity, we are a company with expenses. Premium, Made in USA, organic cotton tees are about $10 to make. I figured that people would appreciate an exact figure instead of the generic "proceeds to charity" that brands usually roll with. 300 people bought tees, so far this campaign, only 2 have donated. This is what works and what is sustainable. 20% is HUGE, no company gives away 20% of it's entire revenue.

it does make you wonder how firms who sell 100% pure organic T-shirts for $20-$25 can still be in business, never mind make a profit ...
... I suppose $7 is better than a kick in the teeth ...
... reminds me of the plastic bags that get delivered through the letterbox collecting clothing and bric a brac 'for charity' but when you read it carefully they are a private business 'donating' to charity (and yes they do tell you how much they are donating) ...

It feels a little sketchy to me to run a for profit business that looks and feels like a nonprofit. I don't think it would be an issue if they made their products the primary focus and said, "By the way, we're giving part of our profits to charity." But by putting the charity front and center, they're using the charity to generate business for them.
Take away the $7 donation and they're selling shirts for $33, which is high. On top of that, they get the artwork donated so they don't even have to pay a designer. Then they get a ton of free advertising from the artists. And they get to declare the $7 per shirt as a donation from them, lowering their tax liability.
There's nothing illegal about it. But the way they present it is a bit shady.

Artists4Water, by Deleted on Mar 15, 2014 9:02:46 GMT 1, On their Facebook page: "Our developer had to make the buttons live really early in the morning for a few minutes to run a test. In that time, a few people snuck in some orders. It wasn't meant to be 2 releases. Tees have been sold out. PayPal oversold the Invader and undersold the Shepard, we had to refund a few people. If you didn't receive a refund email, then you are OK." Has anyone here received a refund email? Just wondering.
I emailed asking if I was getting a confirmation email and got this:
Hi,
We have your order in! We will send you tracking when the tee is ready to be shipped. Please allow 2-3 weeks for shirts to be printed and shipped.
Thanks for your support. Best, Stephany Team BNE

Norammly the site should bug after 2 seconds... I think that there will have a lot of refunds...

Consider the Art4space print edition, which took about two hours to sell out or the invader 3d kit, which didn't instantly sell out either. The are other examples too, the Rubik Kubric 2 was on the POW website for months, although that's a little while ago. My point is, is Invader really as big as the forum would have us believe? As to refunds the BNE Facebook page states if you haven't already had a refund message you're ok.
