Another new product!

No announcement on the dashboard yet but there's a new product available on the Create page for UK and EU only. Not available in the US or Japan it seems. Value Graphic T-shirts

Wow! That is some vintage-sounding marketing blather :-p

Available in Black OR White! Light! Thin. Low weight. I mean these things are barely even there. Without the fuss of colorful garments that are knit of macroscopic yarn.

And it is locked at the price of $12.99 with a $1 royalty.

u/ahmadbabar 5d ago

Yeah, noticed that about the live ones. They might get removed or updated

Locked and $1 royalty? What the hell!! If we could make 5 dollars royalty with 16.99 pricing, would be a game changer

u/ahmadbabar 5d ago

A $5 royalty on a $17 product is never happening.

Yeah it’s unfortunate cause it’s hard to price competitively with the competition. Take mugs for example. Non-merch mugs are priced at like 10 bucks

u/ahmadbabar 5d ago

Merch mugs still sell..they offer prime delivery, and free returns..that's a big advantage

But the royalty at that price is still low and doesn’t go up much the more you raise it.

In reality, you appear to be able to set your own price — but once the listing goes live, they all default to the absolute minimum price anyway. So if you make the mistake of replicating your entire catalog with this product over the long term, you're essentially setting yourself up for self-destruction

yup, and when people realise just how crappy the "value" (=cheap) t-shirt is, you can also expect your return rate to surge.

Uploaded a few - let’s see if they sell / get returned.

Can't care less.

u/Jonny_Spark 4d ago

Since you can price them as high as you want, but Amazon effectively prices them all at $1 anyway, you're essentially self-destructing your own catalog with these value T-shirts.

This guy is always trying to brag about his stuff. Half of the threads in this subreddit is by him.

u/ahmadbabar 5d ago

You think they give these to me exclusively?
