They're called toques.

I don't imagine its a good investement seeing as you probably won't sell 72, because I would imagine only about 1/3 of the people that say they'll buy one, do it.

I'd say thats why Rogue is staying away, the hats probably failed

Thats pretty much it. EVERYONE wants to buy them but when someone puts out the money and makes the product then no one buys them. Everyone wants, but no one wants to buy. Example alot of people wanted Carbon Fiber grips so PUDBUDZ goes and makes them and people think they are to much money. People dont understand to make custom parts in not cheap. Then you have people come onto a post and say I can make them for alot less because they have a dremel. When people start buying things they ask for more will be made. Sorry just had to vent.

someone should have some made before a big AO day. They will have a large market and it is alot easier to hand over $10 in person and get the beanie than it is to send a money order, and wait for it to ship (not as many impulsive buyers online )

Yeh, that doesn't work out for 10 bucks guys. They could sell these all day and still not make that much of a profit.

Cost
$2-$3 for shipping(includes the actual shipping cost + cost of mailer)
$1-$2 for PayPal, CC fees
$4-$5 for the hat itself with customization

Total cost for Hat= $7-$10

Suggest price from AO'ers
$10

well i understand only like 10 of the people that actually want a hat 2 will step up and buy... thats why i looked at smaller incremints such as the 75 area i know it may seam like alot but out of the thousands of people on these forums or special events i msure 75 would sell relativly easy... and from what i have seen when i search the other night about 75 hats to be made would cost between 500 and 600$ and to sell for about 10$ wich i beleive is a fair price... ill even be the first to pre pay if neccasary... who ever jumps on this oppertunity could make and easy 150$ of course it wont all be up front and would probably have to visit AO days to sell the majority of them. but i definatly think selling 75 would be no problem... and you never know some one on here might have a connection where they dont have to go through the middle man wich could easily save 2-3$ per hat and possibly bring down the price of that hat... but either way id jump all over one for 10$

thinking about it its kinda sad that our favorite company ... agd doesnt even sell any gear with there or the AO logo on it :/

That would be a sweet design n SP steal every one elses stuff any ways but there should also be a lighter fabric for hot day play cuz i love my mag but hate havin paint in my hair so im pretty sure id grab a couple if they came across some

remember when I had airbrushed that hopper a while back. I had TOOONS of "can you do that to mine and so on" I wasn't trying to market anything but though about it and decited to see who really wanted it. I figured to make it worth my time it would take 10$ a hour to so, each one I did was 3 hours, then shippinh and handling was another 6$. so 36$ for a custom paintjob, and I never charged for setup fees or materials and guess what? NO ONE though it was worth 36$. Unfortunatly, it was barly worth my time to make these, in the paint ran or I had another problem I would have had to pay someone for either a new hopper or shells. But I figured that was a risk. 36$ is spare change... if that's too much then you are barking up the wrong tree.
Come up with your own just and get off the x-box.... geeez your are lazy farts....
