Where are they?

Neil C · 22 Mar 2000, 19:17 (Ref:4790)

The banner shows a T-shirt and cap w/ the 10/Tenths logo. Yet I can find no such merchandise anywhere in the "Shop".

Where are they? I like the cap.

Invader · 22 Mar 2000, 22:55 (Ref:4791)

Like a politician, I will answer you question with another question.
Can anyone who would definitely want to purchase a Ten-Tenths cap or T-shirt please post their wants on this thread.

Toth · 23 Mar 2000, 00:00 (Ref:4794)

Yeah I want stuff, shirts, caps etc. But I have no creditcard. If I can pay otherwise, I'll buy stuff.

Gerard · 23 Mar 2000, 01:08 (Ref:4792)

I want a cap. And a t-shirt.
As long as I don't have to pay with a credit card. Because I don't have one. A credit card that is.
And I want a sticker with the URL of 10 Tenths to put on my car.

Crash Test · 23 Mar 2000, 05:11 (Ref:4793)

I would love to buy some stuff, but once again i'm in Gerard's boat as far as payments would be involved. I am in the process of changing my wardrobe from a sports clothing one to a motoring one...

Neil C · 23 Mar 2000, 13:53 (Ref:4795)

I would buy a cap. And unlike most of my creditable friends, I do have a credit card.

I suggest the web address be embroidered on the back of the cap. probably on the adjustment strap.

Anakin · 23 Mar 2000, 14:24 (Ref:4796)

I'm with Neil. I'd like a cap (I do have a credit card) and I like the idea of spreading the URL around.

Liz · 23 Mar 2000, 18:59 (Ref:4797)

Two caps and one T-shirt. Do have a credit card and will have cash this weekend after Frenzy wins in Brazil (okay, stop laughing.)

Preferably before Le Mans, please. Thank you kindly.

marcus · 24 Mar 2000, 01:53 (Ref:4798)

yep me too

EERO · 24 Mar 2000, 14:29 (Ref:4799)

That's my hand up here in the back.
I'll take a cap and Tee.

Minardi fan · 27 Mar 2000, 18:07 (Ref:4800)

Ooh t-shirt please!

**Craig** · 27 Mar 2000, 18:34 (Ref:4801)

erm... [where's that search button ?]... oh, here it is...

Sorry folks. Sales of Peter's shirts haven't picked up, so i'm not going to risk getting lumbered with a pallet load of T's which no-one wants to buy!

Toth · 27 Mar 2000, 23:22 (Ref:4803)

I would have bought some if I didn't have to pay with a credit card.

Liz · 28 Mar 2000, 00:54 (Ref:4802)

I ordered one of Peter's shirts a month ago and still haven't received it. Service like that I can get in any store in Canada.

Lorna · 28 Mar 2000, 20:07 (Ref:4804)

Okay, there are so many people out there would like a t-shirt with "10/10ths" on it and it isn't happening.

Designing a t-shirt and getting it printed can be expensive in itself and I can understand the fact that Craig does not want to get lumbered with the cost if people aren't going to buy.

How about this. Those who want a 10/10ths t-shirt pay up front and then Craig gets the t-shirts and sends them out to us (obviously taking into account the cost of p&p). If he doesn't get enough interested, we get a refund and nobody loses out. What do ya think?

And for those that want to pay by cheque, can send it to my address (requested by email only) as I am in rented accomodation at the mo and won't be here forever. Feasible?

Liz · 29 Mar 2000, 00:24 (Ref:4805)

I'll go along with that, as long as I can have your name and a permanent address before I send you any money.

EERO · 29 Mar 2000, 04:13 (Ref:4806)

Sounds fair to me, on Liz' terms.

Liz, I got my shirts pretty quickly from Iconic Memory, I think it was about a week. Peter C. was very friendly and chatty, and I got some rather nice Emails from him. Try Emailing for info, he may be able to track it down for you.

Liz · 30 Mar 2000, 04:57 (Ref:4807)

OK - I did get a notice today that my fabulous poster of GV (sponsor plug!) is on its way to me by Ground Vehicle of some sort. Forza Gilles! Quick and easy.

Lorna · 30 Mar 2000, 22:21 (Ref:4808)

I'll be quite happy to give you my home and work details to ensure that you trust me with the cheque. I will not even consider banking the cheques unless the production of the t-shirts were to go ahead.

Anyone else interested?

Craig? Time to find out the price of producing some 10/10ths t-shirts to see how many you would need interested?

Gerard · 30 Mar 2000, 23:15 (Ref:4809)

I'm interested!

Sparky · 31 Mar 2000, 01:22 (Ref:4810)

I wouldn't mind a Ten Tenths Polo shirt as long as isn't Grey and Wedgewood Blue with Yellow stitching!

Seriuosly fellow BB'er's. Where do I send my cheque...?

Toth · 31 Mar 2000, 10:46 (Ref:4811)

Count me in.

**Craig** · 1 Apr 2000, 22:11 (Ref:4812)

Thanks for the interest folks but, as stated elsewhere, we will not be offering any 10 Tenths merchandise for sale until it is commercially viable. Judging by the response to the various promotions which we have run in the past, it would not be at this time. It doesn't matter how many people say, 'ooh, that's a nice idea, put me down for three', what matters is how many people cough up the cash.

As i've also said in the past, we will reconsider our position in this matter at a later date and, if it can be proved to us that this is a viable opportunity, we will gladly exploit it. Until then...

Liz · 2 Apr 2000, 02:23 (Ref:4813)

But how can you prove it until you have tried it and see if it is or not? That is not a Smart Remark - it's just honest puzzlement. :confused:

**Craig** · 2 Apr 2000, 08:39 (Ref:4814)

Because, as I am the management, I am allowed to make decisions which may appear crazy, foolish, or plain daft to the outsider - it's a perk of the job

Seriously, for the time being, I have made my decision. This doesn't mean that I will not revise this decision at some point in the future, if circumstances change but, jedging from my experience in running this site for the past two years, this would not be a sensible venture to undertake at this time.

However, maybe now is a good time to run a little survey amongst all these interested parties to see how much they would be prepared to pay for a T shirt if and when we found a solution ? Let us know folks, and we'll see what we can suss out.
