For a long time I wanted to be able to afford to buy logo merchandise and
sell it to help promote my site. But I could never raise enough money to
cover the upfront costs.

One day I came across another site like mine that sold logo merchandise
through an online retailer so I signed up for a free account. The prices
are not bad and the quality of the stuff is good.

Anyway, I was staying on my boat this weekend, it was real cold in MD, so I
was stuck inside and was adding a couple of new photos to the boats of
rec.boats site and came up with an idea. Why not have a rec.boats store?

I put together a small shop for everyone to see. T-shirts, sweatshirts and
similar items featuring the rec.boats burgee. I left all the prices the way
they are, I didn't work in any markup. If the group likes this idea than it
can stay and we all will be able to buy this stuff. If the group decides
they don't like it I can cancel the store.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Lee,
That's pretty cool. How about some clothes colors besides white?

Nice idea, Lee.

About a hundred years ago (okay, maybe 9 or 10), Pete Meek volunteered to manage
such a project, selling rec.boats caps and burgees. His Web page is still up:

I wonder if he has any left?
