<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yokozuna, post: 961507, member: 26087&quot;]As a market test, Amy made &quot;Iron Chef&quot; t-shirts and put them on ebay.&nbsp; This was at a time when Iron Chef was just getting really popular and no one in the US had anything with the logo on it.&nbsp; The FIRST shirt she made cost us about $6 total not counting her time.&nbsp; The bidding went WILD the first shirt went for $60 bucks.&nbsp; We shipped the guy 2 shirts and told him we couldn&#039;t take $60 for a shirt.&nbsp; He was so happy, he started bidding on the 2nd one.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We contacted Fuji TV in Japan and told them we wanted to work out a contract to sell shirts and other items using the logo.&nbsp; They worked with us and we almost got the contract.&nbsp; As soon as they said that they wanted someone with more experience to work on the items, we pulled our shirts off of eBay.&nbsp; But for the next 3 weeks people kept trying to get us to make DOZENS of shirts for them.&nbsp; We had to turn them down.&nbsp; The cool thing is I had enough Iron Chef t-shirts to wear for the next 5 years and no one else had anything like them.&nbsp; Fuji finally started selling shirts and stuff but it was about the same time that the show started dropping in ratings.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they lost money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, yeah.&nbsp; &quot;eBay Bidders&quot; don&#039;t seem to have any idea of the value of anything and a rumor about a coins value can score BIG BUCKS for the seller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
