Shirt.Woot

Again, I click on the button to order one (well, two), and poof, SOLD OUT. Congrats on the win; it would've been nice to add another of your prints to my Grim Optimism and Birth of the Moon. Maybe I'll get in on the next one, Oh well...

as much as I don't care for this shirt, I will let you know, you can buy it tomorrow for $15

noooooooo it's sold out!

The ONE shirt in the past, what, 3 weeks that I'd INSTANTLY buy, and I'm screwed outta $5 because I went to bed an hour early. >_<

The most exciting thing for me, was I got to see the "I want one" start bouncing! :-)

(I LEFT quickly, to avoid the temptation of breaking down and buying one before it sold out. Not that I don't like it...but I am SSOOOOO holding out in hopes of getting an "Elmer"...)

How do T-shirts sell out when reprinting is so easy?

I can't believe I fell asleep! And this one is SO cute! ugh!

Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that the reprint is an additional $5 for Woot!

Glad I bought one at midnight and didn't wait till this morning.

I ahuhu'd hard when I saw this after bio lab today.
shirt.woot will bankrupt me haha.

There's a set amount printed as a 'first run'. Right now, that number is 3000 shirts. I remember when they were 500, and others remember back when S.W first started and they were 250 for the day.

After the first day prints sell out, or 24 hrs is up, they go on sale again. Now the price is $15 a piece (see, there's your incentive to buy it the day it prints) and a portion of that added money is given to the designer as residuals for further sales. A designer can make anywhere from a base of $500 or $1000 (depending on if it's a daily vs. derby print and which contract a daily chooses) and either a small trickle of extra sales, or thousands of extra dollars a month.

Zeusandhera, creator of 'Now Let Me Get This Straight' (lime in the coconut shirt), made enough in his sales to buy his fiancée a gorgeous engagement ring. Some people just take the $1000 + little left over from a worse sale and just put it to bills and whatnot.

There's a reason there are cheering sections for the Reckoning List week after week... and why there's always conflicting views on design here. It's all about the Benjamins, baby.

Dang I knew I should have gotten up at 1AM. And the other shirt from the fog this derby I want probably won't be printed. Oh well.

DO WANT. ; _ ;

Congrats on another print, sekiyoku! I bought your "Easy Optimism" shirt a while back. I'm a volunteer youth leader at my church, and I wore that shirt a few weeks ago, and it was a big hit. Keep up the great work!

I'm SO glad I stayed up even though I get to work early! I'm in for one which is awesome after the disappointing "Epic Begins" sell out... Lesson learned and I'm a smarter wooter now!

man, all the cool one's sell out before I look! grrrr!

Awesome design though!

Damn you westerners! You guys took everything!!! T_T
SOL for the eastern guys... who has to sleep early due to work T_T

How in the world is this thing sold out already? It's not even 9:30am here!!!!!

Sold out?
You mean they will NEVER produce any more?

Read the "Frequently Asked Questions" box in the lower right corner.

I see they're selling 3,000 shirts on the first day now... that surely cuts on commission sales... I think they should up the winning prize then! C'mon woot! Can we do $1,250, $1,500???

I'm personally waiting for raymb's icy heart :D

Depressing, I missed this due to sleep+work. Whatever, I'll spend the $5 more and get it - I'm a penguin fiend.

The shirt is like an iceberg, 9/10ths of the meaning are hidden beneath the surface. That's what Morgan Freeman told me anyway.

Cute, but not for me.

I think they're making it back in sales, TBH. Nevermore has been the rarity selling ever closer to the 10k mark in 41 wks, but it's normal now that new big sell outs like "The Epic Begins" are selling 2k in shirts atop the 3k set in less than 2 week's time.

Welcome to the world of Woot! I am a recent Wooter myself and no one bothered to welcome me, so I thought I would extend you this courtesy. You will be so hooked..I am, even if I'm just lurking. :o)

congrats on the sellout designer. cute shirt btw.

I guess I'll have to pay the extra 5 dollars for this ... I don't mind at all.

Congrats on the sellout!

I live in Florida, and we don't really have much of a winter here so I don't know how often I'd actually wear it.

Woke up at 6 this morning to make french toast and decided to buy this shirt. Inspiration: freezing temperatures in Florida (it must have been meant to be)!

Believe it or not, guy purchases outnumbered girl purchases (1700 to 1000) :D

Thanks everyone for the sellout! I'm shocked at how early it was. For those who are unaware, this will be available tomorrow in reckoning (at the link JadenKale provided) for $15. :D

This was my very first woot and I am glad I bought it at midnight last night. I already have 4 on the reckoning list I really want so I know there will be more to come.
