I know I took a whirl at this before and was unsuccessful, but I'm back to give it another try hopefully with better results. I'm not at all trying to be rude or self-centered here but I felt the simplest and best way to get this done was just hold my breath and jump. Below are the designs I have submitted to the print shop. These are in final form and are set up for a two color print on a black shirt. I'm already putting up the fee for the screens and the first run of 24 shirts (which was his minimum)...we're gonna be looking at about $15 per shirt plus shipping (I'll check on the best way on that)...2x and 3x sizes will be available at a dollar or two extra cost.

here is the left chest design


and this is the back


fire away and let me know what sizes and numbers you may be wanting so I can give him the breakdown for the first shirt run.

Bobby or Herc, if you could "sticky" this so other might be able to see when they sign in I'd appreciate it much.

Hey T-bat, I will take a large. I only need one for now. I don't get paid until the 15th. If that is a problem for the first run, then I will jump on the second, alright?

Cool design btw

Put me down for a medium .Chico.

1 X-large (2 if needed to get the numbers up)

Put me down for one in XL.

I'll take 2 XXL. Thanks T-Bat!

1 XL and can I send you a personal check?

I'm in for 2 XXL....

Count me in for 2 mediums T-bat. I can paypal you the money, which would probably be the fastest method. I'd love to show my support of GP.net!

keep those orders coming ...I have a paypal account as well for anyone who wants to go that route...I would prefer to stay away from personal checks if possible since we have to getinto the whole area of waiting for them to clear...I've never handled money orders and I know thats an extra expense...I'll ask at my bank about deposit policy...I understand not everyone has paypal or credit cards to use on paypal.

If you can do a personal check than put me down for 2 larges. I dont have paypal.

I think you can get a paypal account and link it to your checking account.

You can.

I have no idea how to use paypal. But I can send you personal check.

www.paypal.com

T-bat just let me know when the shirts are ready and you need the money and shipping address - can't wait to see the finished product.

guys I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud here...and I'm most certainly not pointing any fingers, justplease try and understand where I'm coming from here...I talked to my branch manager and she informed me that if I deposit a second party check and for some reason it gets returned, my account will be charged $29.50...plus I will be responsible for covering the amount of the check...I dont mind doing this thing with the shirts, heck I wanna do it but I dont want to involve my personal checking account that I pay my bills with to do it...not to mention if it did cause any kind of problem my wife would skin me alive and I sure dont want that...So I guess I'm going to have to insist that payment be by money order or paypal...I opened my Paypal account just to make a purchase off eBay...I never really thought I'd use it as much as I have but as much shopping as I do online it sure has come in handy...please dont anyone see this as a character threat, I just have to look out for my home and I'm sure anyone can relate to that...hope this doesnt spoil the concept for eveyone.

ok...let me recap the requests so far...correct me if I'm wrong.

looks good T-bat, I will paypal you the money on Thursday

hold tight...dont start zapping money until I have the shirts in hand...I'll post as soon as theyre finished.

we also have the little issue of only 13 shirts so far...which is only about half the order minimum...I'd like to atleast get a little closer before I pony up for the order...PM all your friends

T-bat, I can pony out for another two shirts to help get to the minimum order. Make it another medium and a large -- to total to medium X 3, large X 1.

Alright guys, let's make this happen. That's all I can contribute.

alright, t-bat, give me another L. That makes 2 Larges.

Alright T-Bat, put me down for another one. Grand total of 3 XXL Shirts. You'll just have to let me know when you're ready for the money. Thanks.

thanx for the effort guys...I was hoping some more of our regular posters would chime in...where ya at Herc? and a few others but I wont keep dropping names ...I'm going to email the order in with the sizes we have on hand and I'll fill out the balance of the amount with L & XL...I should be able to get a "finished by" date from him by the weekend...I'll keep everyone posted.

I want to get one, im just dead broke for the next few months, just got a house and currently moving

Add a second XL to my order.

Add a large to my order,so that's a medium and a large.Chico.

Large for me!

Put me down for another XL T-Bat!

That's 2 XL for me total.

Come on people, show your support for Grand Prix Net!

I would like one, 2 XL please, and i will pay by money order, just let me know where to send it, Thanks

I got an email from the shirt guy today and he says it should be about a week (maybe less) until the order is complete. I'll post a pic of a finished shirt as soon as I get them so everyone can see the genuine article...then we'll have to fget each of you to PM me with email addys for Paypal and postal addys so I can send your shirts to you...I'll take a final tally on saturday and give him a call...thanks for the support on this guys

Thanks to you!

Thanks T-BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x2.

I totally missed this the other day. I'll take a large.

T-Bat
I will take 1 large. They look kool!!!

Let me know all the info. I need to pay you via. paypal, and I'll send it ASAP.

ok guys...I turned in the final tally today and thanks to your support we made the minimum order number...he said the shirts should be ready later this week...I checked at the post office and I can send the shirt in the priority mail tyvek envelopes for $4.05 per order...(as long as it doesnt exceed 2lbs, and I dont think even 3 shirts will weigh that much...I'll post up a pic as soon as I get them and PM each of you with a total...thanks again...this site rocks

Dang, looks like I just missed it. If you have any Mediums left over, hit me up. Thanks.

hopefully if interest keeps rolling we can get enough folks for a second run of shirts...we'll just have to hit the 24 shirt minimum again...there are plenty enough peeps on the site to get those numbers easily, it just depends on how often the sign on, interest and such.

T-bat keep us up to date and let me know when you need the paypal! Can't wait to see what the finished product looks like

hey hey hey!...THE SHIRTS ARE IN!...and they are lookin mighty good if I do say so myself...My Hunny was nice enough to model one for me...check it out





...its a little late tonite and I have to work in the morning, but I will get a PM out to everyone giving you a total for your order and my email addy for Paypal and my home addy if you need to mail a money order...I will need each of you to respond with your home address so I can send the orders out to you...you'll be hearing from me soon

The shirts came out good! Thanks for taking the initiative to get all this done T-bat! You'll be receiving my paypal as soon as I get your info.

me gusta!

They look great T-Bat. I can't wait to sport the shirt out in public here in KS.

I will send paypal payment ASAP after you PM me to let me know the total.

Again, nice job on them, I appreciate it.

T-Bat,

They look awesome!!! Can't wait.

You have PayPal!

Let's see who gets theirs first.

It's on Bobby!

Looks like I missed the first order. I'll take 1 XXL and a 3T for the next order (if you can order toddler sizes)

I picked up the tyvek envelopes from the post office today and will fill out those orders and get them out tonite or tomorrow...priority mail is usually 2-3days so some of you should be seeing them very soon.

Ok I was just checking my emails for Paypal and I've got a couple from people I have no screen name to go with...if you havent already, please reply to your PMs so I have a name to go with your screen-name and I get shirts sent to the right folks...thanks guys!

T-bat- You got PM

I got mine today!! They look nice!

Got mine too!

TX guys came in first!

I just got mine! Thanks alot T-bat -- as soon as I can find the memory card for my camera I'll post some pics. To everyone else, come on you guys, post some pics showing off your new tees

Just got mine as well.
They look great T-Bat

Thanks A Bunch

I came home from work and mine were waiting for me!!!

A big thanks to T-Bat!!!!!!!!

I think they look better in person than the pic shows.
I'm wearing mine to work tomorrow.

Thanks for getting this together T-Bat, it finally happened!!!

I took off work tomorow so I could set up a chair and have some beers by my mailbox all day waiting for the mailman.

I just got home from work and they were there waiting for me!!! Thanks T-Bat. If I would've been home when the shirts came then VA guys would've come in first.

I'm glad everyone is pleased with the results...now if we can get enough folks on board maybe we can get another run going...postage turned out to be a teeny bit higher than I had planned so I may have to go up a dollar on the next batch...sorry guys, but I do gots to cover the expense

now if we can ever get a meet together where we can sport our shirts as a group...that would be awesome

The new shirts look great, and I'd like to order three in Large, since I missed the first run. Thanks T-Bat!

Wearing the shirt today @ work, and I had a bunch of guys coment on it. Great design T-Bat!

x2.

I was just waxing my GP and the mailman handed me the shirts. They are NICE!!!!! Thanks again T-bat.
If there is another run i'm in for 2 more XXLs and T-bat can you get hats made???

Got mine... looks sweet!
Thanks for getting this together t-bat!

How did I miss this until now??? If and when we can get a second run, I'm in for 1 medium... I've already got PayPal and everything, so just let me know!

Recieved my T's today they look great nice job T-Bat .Chico.

Good job on the shirts.

I've been and currently still out of the country. I would have ponied up for a shirt but not having a solid hand on my money right now I didn't want to commit to anything.

Let me know if you do a second run.

Hey, T-bat, just wanted to say thanks for the shirts man. I got myself one as well as one for my wife. She loved it. Thanks again. They look great.

Hey t-bat, did you get my money order? Just want to make sure it wasnt lost in translation. No rush though, just want to make sure!

Thanks again!

sure did...I dropped your shirts in the mail yesterday, so you should have them very soon.

Thank you very much! Just making sure!

Just got them in the mail! They look fantastic! Nice job T-bat. Thank You!

And BTW if you do another run, there are some people who LOVE them in my family and I would be down for at least 3-4 more!

Hey, Tbat, how are you handling payment? I want a medium and a large, but need to wait until 1 AUG 06. Sharp looking shirts, BTW.

I still have one order left pending on this first run...then I'm probably gonna ask Bobby to blank this thread and I'll start a new one so we can keep orders from getting mixed up. The only other obstacle I have is I have to come up with the bucks to prepay the shirt guy for a second run. That alone may take me a few weeks. So I'll post up when I'm ready to start taking pre-orders for the next run (which I think will be soon) by the time we have enough pre-orders I should have the money for the prepayment. So keep watch and we'll get another run going soon.

Let me or Herc know and we'll make it happen.

ok I didnt want to put a post like this up but I still havent heard anything from "robrbert" about your order...its been a month since your last response and I havent seen anything in the mail or my PM...so just need to know if you still want the shirt or do I put it up for sale with the one surplus XL that I have...if "robrbert" doesnt want his then I'll have a surplus XXL as well...this will finalize the firt run of shirts.

tbat let me know when you get another order together.!!

Same, I would LIKE a PM so I'm sure not to miss the call. Also, you're asking 4.05 USD per shirt? or is that an old number? Hope to hear soon that the second run is ready!

I think it was 15 USD for the shirt, plus USD 4.05 for shipping via Priority Mail. Wouldn't that be great though?

Oh, yes it would...

Second run to soon follow...
