Hey Mata, can you help me out? Options

[Mata]

Nope, but it will be arriving next week.

[Rattgirl]

And now, ladies and gents, another episode of "Why We Love Mata!"

Have ya ever met a busier yet more-accomodating man? *shakes head* I jus' don't get it. How ya do it. Dunno.


(Realises this is pseudo-spam and apologises but was in a state of semi-religious awe over the knowledge that there can still be talented, hardworking and yet oh-so-kind people left in this world)

[CrazyFooIAintGet...]

Yep..and then theres just the reeally impatient nasty ones like me ah well..

*goes to watch mittens*

p.s yay! next week! *jumps up and down*

[CrazyFooIAintGet...]

Nope, but it will be arriving next week.

did it arrive?

[Mata]

Yes, it arrived yesterday evening, I've been rather busy so I've not had the chance to email you.

The quickest way of ordering it would be through my shop, go into one of the LGG sections and pay for a long-sleeve male style top in Medium there, then when you've added the shipping go into the PayPal window. During the process you'll see a box where you can leave a message. If you write in there that it's you and your're actually ordering the Mr Sb top I'll get this sorted and in the post to you.

Cheers!

[CrazyFooIAintGet...]

THANK YOU!
*treasures piece of paper with Mata's drawing on it*

hey... could i possibly get a hoodie with the hack the corp reality desing on it... plese please please

[Mr Fuzzy]

Actually, I can see a hoodie like that being popular with skaters...

Could be profitable.

[Twitching]

I'm not a skater and I'd buy one...

Hoodies are nifty cause unlike long sleeve shirts, you can take them off and not be half naked.

On the other hand, they'd probably be more expensive and take up more room in Mata's dwelling.

[CrazyFooIAintGet...]

me too actually... the amount of t shirts i own muchly outnumber the amout of hoodies... I think a mittens hoody would be cool though .. with the "if i were ruler of the world id.." bit from if mittens ruled the world written on it!
Just an idea...

[Ocean!]

I would buy a hoodie if it said "I can smell your brains." But then, I'm in Canada, and I don't have paypal sooo...

[deranged_ferret]

Oooohhh.... I'd buy a "hack the coperate reality" hoodie. Or a cannibal sex kitty one.... *luffs hoodies*

[EvilSpork]

I love hoodies too

I love Mata for making all these wonderful shirts that I wear every day of the week too and hoodies from cafe press... But with the cafe press shirts I didn't get a nifty mittens drawing! Thats one downside to buying hoodies I must buy more off the on site store I guess

I want a Mittens hoody I have the 9-Mouth baby one and a Mr. SB one, but a Mittens one would make me happy...

[Mata]

I don't get hoodies made for a few reasons:

1 they cost rather a lot for me to buy, so I'd have to put the price of them pretty high too

2 because they are so expensive, to have any kind of range would cost a fortune (for example, imagine a stock of five per size in three sizes, that's fifteen times the base cost (which as I mentioned is rather a lot) just to get a basic range in for one design)

3 they take up too much room and I don't have space to store them

4 they wouldn't sell very fast so I'd have to sell loads of them before I began to make any profit from the initial outlay

5 I can't afford the initial outlay in the first place at the moment!

6 shipping them around the world would cost loads and my current shop doesn't have a way of adjusting shipping costs by weight (but the new shop, when I get time to finish it, will be able to).

Err... That's enough reasons not to for the moment!

[EvilSpork]

Yes, yes it is Mata, and I understand your position on not stocking hoodies

But if ever you become a millionare, will you make me a mittens hoody? I will pay good money for that!

[monkey_called_na...]

... hmmm i still havent gotten the paypal thing fixed would it be possible to send you like money threw the mail to get a tee shirt?

[hinsley]

mwah ha ha, theres a shop near me that prints clothes and stuff so i could have my own hoodie... but that would be infringing copyright or summat. bummer.

[saucy_tara]

Not to mention the fact that every time someone buys a t shirt from Mata they contribute to the maintenence of this site and to the maintenence of our lovely animator himself, eh Hins??
So all the more reason to buy a proper hoodie!!!!!!!!

[EvilSpork]

To the Cafeshop of Mata!

And the onsite store..

Hmm.. So, Mata, I always seem to notice a lack of 'larg' male style long sleeve shirts that I like hehehe Or I should look closer! Or wear a long sleeve shirt under my beloved shirts of youzone.. That always works, but sometimes *shrugs* Well, I'll just get long sleeved ones when I can, I suppose right? And should check the store more often Thanks for the clothes Mata

[Mata]

EvilSpoon: Yes, Large sizes do tend to sell quite fast but I've got them for a lot of the designs. Essentially it's down to many of similar reasons to the reasons I don't stock hoodies. I only get the full range of sizes for designs that sell well, I start off with M, XL and ladies' skinni-fit tops then work up from there.

Hinsley: Yes, you could do that, but yes it would also be copyright theft (and not from some faceless major corporation, from me) and the print you get would be of quite a low quality compared to the ones that I sell. But hey, it's your choice. I'm currently just starting to talk to a company in the UK that might be interested in producing and distributing the T-shirts for me and paying me a license fee for the designs, so you never know, there might be hoodies available through them (if they go for it).

Narth, I can accept cheques from the UK, but I do have to wait for them to clear so the order takes a bit longer to process. Drop me an email and I'll give you an address you can post things to. If you're in the US I really can't accept cheques (unless you want to pay £5 extra for the cheque clearance fee).

I never thought I'd need to get involved with knowing this kind of thing, but I'm quite concerned about the strength of the dollar to the pound. It used to be that one dollar was about 66p, currently it's 55p. That's a really big drop! It also means that to get the same amount of UK pounds I have to keep increasing the dollar prices. I've not actually changed the UK prices of my T-shirts since I started the shop two years ago, but the value of the dollar keeps on forcing me to fiddle with it!

[Jonman]

Aye, buddy - I'm starting to worry that when I'm done here and I move home, all my hard earned's will be worth half of what they were when I earnt them.

[Righteous]

Have you ever considered doing those kick-ass Dickies button-up shirts? I have a Dickies button-up shirt with the Godsmack sun on the back and the Godsmack label on the front-left chest and a Matazone shirt like that (or at least rather similar) would be sweet.

[Mata]

Jon; the dollar/pound exchange rate is Screwed at the moment. From $1=67p to $1=54p in a year, that means that for every thousand dollars you've earnt it's now worth £130 less than it was a year ago. I'm considering sitting on my PayPal account until I get a better rate of exchange.

Righteous; nope, I've not considered them because I've already got more variety than anyone could rightfully expect from a single person selling their own T-shirts on the web and I have no intention of expanding any more!!
