    -"Will they be available in yellow?"
    -Perhaps, the blue one we dont plan on making into a complete yellow design, though the yellow patch will be either a yellow or a gold, probably yellow at first.

    -"so we cant just send cash? when they come out i mean..."
    -I dont have any problems with people sending cash, ill have to discuss it with slushee, but if we do accept cash, but if it doesnt get to us, thats not our problem, with a money order, a person can find out if it was cashed and by who. Also, the shipping we use with sending the patches, will be by regular mail, and unregisterd, and dont take responsibility if they get lost in the mail, if you wish to have the package registerd to esnure it arrives, we can work out the additional cost for you.

    -"We should have some stickers made also."
    -Stickers was another thing we were considering once we got the patches up and running, as of now most of the costs involved with the patches is coming out of our pocket, and the profit we make on the patches, most of which will be turned around and put back into making more patches and perhaps other AO apparel.


    -Well, we do have a paypal account, that we were intending on using at some point, again, we were trying to avoid getting flooded with orders and minimize the chance of losing orders and such, I dont see why we couldnt make an exception with European AOers at first, but again, this is something Slushee and I will have to discuss.

    -"its costs loads to get banks to do it, and i dunno anywhere that does western union"
    -US and Canadian Post offices sell Money Orders, if I remember correctly, the US post offices were selling money orders for something like 97 cents, and the canadian is like a couple bucks.

    -"why are the words "Official Automags" and the web address switched around on the yellow patch. I though only the colors would be different."
    -That one, would be a misunderstanding on my behalf, when talking to Slushee about it, thats how I understood it, but apparently, the stitching company is letting us do both designs without any additional cost, I suppose due to the fact that its such a minor alteration. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

    -"I still think www.automags.org needs to be centered on the blue one, but I want it anyway"
    -To be honest, I originally thought the EXACT same as you, but we tried it, and found the centerd URL on the blue patch didnt look right and looked MUCH better offcenterd, it even changed my mind, and I didnt like it off centerd to begin with... good thing we tried it first.

    -"What ever one you start making first, I will take it! Just tell us how much for it+shipping( I live in US) and the address, and the money order will be sent as soon as you say you can take them!"
    -We will be making 50 of EACH patch in the first run, which makes 100 patches total, as for pricing, its $7.00 USD and $11.00 CAD both prices INCLUDE shipping via standard mail, as I stated earlier, if you want it shipped registerd, or sent via courier, Im sure we can work out a price for you. As for the shipping address and such, once we have the patches in hand and ready to ship out, we'll post a thread in the MAIN FORUM of AO, so keep your eyes peeled.

    Any additional questions or comments are welcome, you can either post in the thread, or send myself or slushee a PM on the forums, Thanx for your intrest, and enthusiasim.

        If you want stickers, just save that image, tehn goto Office Max or Kinko's and buy some sticky back paper for your printer and print some. Works great. Thats how i get all my stickers.

          The only problem with that, is they dont take hits very well, with glossy stickers, you can wipe them off without having paint stain the paper.

            Maybe I can help out with the stickers. I work at a sign shop and make small stickers for myself all the time. I have some good screen printing and digital imagery connections. What kind of quantity are we looking at? I'm guessing hopper sized stickers. Do we want the exact same design as the patches, or something based on them but maybe layed out differently to fit the elongated hopper body better? Let me know if you guys want me poking my nose in this.

                        Offer to help

                        I posted something similar when you were soliciting feedback on the design-

                        I have some good connections for embroidery and can get them done cheap and fast. I can ship them from as US post office here in South Korea. I don't want to step on anyone's toes just offering an alternative/support. I am not looking to make any $$$ either, it would be an at-cost thing. I will check on pricing to make sure but won't go any further.

                        Let me know how you feel

                            We had seen your offer before, but we only expect to make/sell several hundred patches, if were lucky, maybe even a thousand, seeing how our first thread, and this thread had/has a great number of views, and only a fraction of posts, which doesnt make having patches made in Korea, shipped all the way back to Canada, then out to the people that want them, we appreciate the offer, it was sort of just a BIG middle man. Becides, we already have a local stitching company setting up our design for production, perhaps if the quality of this stitching company is extremely poor, we'll do further looking around and possibly take you up on your offer.

                              No sweat

                              Do you mind if I have my own made or are you guys doing this under license from Tom/AGD or as a profit venture?

                              Just let me know, the stuff is so cheap I could even have one made for $3 USD.

                                We do appreciate your offer, but as xzion has stated, we really don't expect to sell more then just a few hundred. I can see you getting some made for 3$US which is close to what ours will be made for, but by the time shipping is thrown in, it will be close to our new selling price which will probably be between $5-$6 USD. Our stiching company has finally given us our costs during the set-up process and it has ended up being a bit cheeper for us to make then originally calculated.

                                On monday we get to see some design artwork. We'll let you all know how they look! At that point, we should have the samples by the end of the week. It has taken a couple extra day's to get the set-up taken care of due to a funeral I had to attend.

                                oh, and if you'd like to make your own patches and sell them, all you should have to do is get an OK by Tom Kaye. We wouldn't feel like your stepping on our toes
