Selling out

about Well, This Just Really Sucks...

I just took a gander at the "What's in Stock" page and couldn't help but notice that this tee is by far the closest to selling out of all the shirts released in this last batch (along with "Ice Cream Mann," "Robot Derby Girl," "Hungry Hippo") I LOVED all three of those and "Well, This Just Really Sucks..." seems rather stale compared to them. Does Threadless print some tees in different quantities or is there really something about this shirt that is grander than the others? What gives?

if you click to view in order of higher sales, it's not no.1 this week, so they must have just printed less. i wondered that myself yesterday.

Man, I totally read that as 'selling out' like... the other selling out. Which is so redundant.

Why do you care?
This is such a useless complaint it makes me laugh.
"A shirt is selling out that I don't like."

How lame does it get?

It's called curiousity. I don't hate the shirt, I just was wondering how Threadless works.

nope, we print the same amount for every design... it's just really popular

travis76 on Aug 30 '05 at 11:10am

it's still selling more than ice cream man, which baffles me, and yet, i don't have the stones to wear it in public either.

okay maybe not.
sniff.

themidtownkoala on Aug 30 '05 at 11:11am

Ahh, thank you. Maybe it has something to do with brown. Lots of people look nice in brown.

thatsnotnormal on Aug 30 '05 at 11:12am

I look nice in brown! :)

thatsnotnormal on Aug 30 '05 at 11:13am

Well maybe I will!
-hmph-

i'm still waiting for fed-ex and ups to merge when the economy goes south and call themselves Fed-Ups

themidtownkoala on Aug 30 '05 at 11:15am

Boooo! Go post that on the bad jokes blog.

Look for the arrow in "EX"

THAT'S where good design went. i never noticed!
did you know if you cut the butter box that the land o lakes indian is holding to where it's hinged like a mailslot, then fold her legs up twice (two equal folds) her knees fit perfectly in the box and when you lift the flap, they look just like boobs. nipples and all. this has been around forever and they still haven't changed it.

If I could understand those directions, travis, I might try that sometime.

thatsnotnormal on Aug 30 '05 at 11:24am

Haha, ditto!

travis76 on Aug 30 '05 at 11:27am

i'll have to illustrate it and do another blog for the stupids...

Oh please do, wise master of butter cartons.

DanaAS on Aug 30 '05 at 11:42am

I think this is the most wearable of the new designs. It is the only one I would consider buying, I don't like the others at all (just my opinion).

It doesnt seem like those IFC shirts are selling, I dont evne know how they got printed. The good designs (like the Pirate and Heroes in an Art shell) seem to sell really fast.

themidtownkoala on Aug 30 '05 at 11:43am

Yeah, I find it very amusing that the chosen IFC shirt is selling like crapcakes.

travis76 on Aug 30 '05 at 11:44am

because people here don't want to wear brand names of anything- even a decent tv channel. they're too 'hip' for that.

johnny vodka on Aug 30 '05 at 2:12pm

yeah some of those designs would have been great without IFC on them. I'm not hating on IFC, it just doesn't work for me...
