We’ll do a beta, then a Hacker News launch, followed by an official launch.
- bprater 18y agoMan, if I could only figure out what's launching.

- silentbicycle 18y agoThey're ... selling ... shirts. Limited edition t-shirts, numbered 1 to 100, each costing that many dollars.
- gm 18y agoI think 200 nipples is the biggest factor of this thing... Forget about selling stuff to corporate clients (I'd rather buy somewhere else than explain to my A/P person why I bought something at "200 nipples" and can she please pay the bill). Hopefully these guys have figured out how they are going to beat a cafepress self-generated unique design. Who knows, hopefully this thing can go beyond it's name and they have their business model in order. Best of luck to them.
- vaksel 18y agowhy exactly would you be buying funny/shocking tshirts on your corporate account?
- boredguy8 18y agoMorale.
- gm 18y agoExactly. A good working environment. Fun. A good employee of the week/month/etc prize. Drawings for events. Giveaways. The list goes on and on.... None of these buys are for a single piece either. That's why corp accounts are good business.
- vaksel 18y agothen the A/P person will probably get a tshirt too, and will know where you got the tshirt from. But I guess they can always change the company name to something like Tshirts Unlimited, where one of their properties is 200 Nipples
- wmeredith 18y agoWe're incorporating under the name Tiny Sauce, LLC.
- wmeredith 18y agoOur invoices appear on your bill as "200 N Shirt" ;-P Not chasing corporate clients, by the way. Chasing edgy-hip-designer-fashionista-types who like their humor a little edgy and will pay for scarcity (talk about a niche, ha ha). Tons more info on the site, branding etc. here in this old Hacker News thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=232958 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=232958 (73 comments worth; half of them are me answering questions.)
- steveplace 18y agoBut first you need to erect your databases.
- chris_l 18y agoI really like the way the price goes up as more sell. I always wanted to try that on pro accounts for web services.
- truebosko 18y agoJust out of curiosity .. what do you plan to do when the month ends and you haven't sold all the shirts. Just sell them at a discounted price? To be honest, although I love the concept I think no one would pay over $70 for a shirt and the few who paid $60 probably did it out of novelty value, but what do I know?
