All of you know my feelings about this site and this community and I dont want to do anything to jeopardize it.

So, I need some thoughts. What if I created a totally seperate site that sold mysticwicks stuff. Like t-shirts, mugs, hats, the whole deal..

Would you guys think I was a crook for doing this? I for one think it would be a blast to do it. And maybe I would be able to quit my job. :rolleyes: Yeah. Maybe. :p

No really. I just wanted some opinions before I jump the gun.

I think it's a cool idea! ...if the stuff wasn't too pricey, I'd buy! ....and it's great advertising for the board! :D


:sunny: I say go for it!

I think it would be entertaining. Nothing wrong with the idea. ('Course, I was the one who supplied the cafepress link :p)

While it did help boost the idea. I would probably go with my own site, etc to keep costs down. ;)

Thanks rev.

why not? i don't see a problem with the idea, mol won't be twisting arms and we could be helping cover part of the costs of this little happy land and have a bit of fun with the stuff. sounds like "win/win" to me

I'm for it as well....and I think a different site of your own is a good idea too....that way it doesn't make this site into a store and you have all control...(as you should!!) :D just mho of course!! Elaine:)

All I need need is more stuff!! ;) (je suis une packrat) :D

I love the idea, mol! Soon we could all be sporting nifty MysticWicks paraphenalia! And when it comes to the cost, please remember that there are those of us out there (Canada, Australia, etc) who don't use the US dollar and therefore everything is doubly expensive! :( :)

Can't wait to see what you create!

as long as it's the right colour of green to go with my two pair of green shorts (and please make some tank tops! I'm sorely lacking), I'll gladly shell out some dough for some Mysticwicks stuff!!!

Great idea, Mol...go to it, you wild man! ;)

Well, if I do the corporation thing and get an employer id #, tax id, etc...then I should be able to buy wholesale and keep the costs down as much as possible.

I am in planning mode. ;)

I love the idea! It would be great to have a MW t-shirt. :)

And like Dagda said, it would make rather neat advertising for the board. :)

Well, not that it looks like you need anyone else to tell you "yes, yes, yes", but yes, I think that's an absolutely fabulous idea! There's nothing wrong with making some money. It's not like you're taking advantage of us or anything. And I definitely think there's a demand for it. I for one would rather buy my pagan supplies from someone I know - to help you guys make some money rather than those I don't know.

BTW, don't forget the t-shirts for the little ones! :D Uh, size 2T and 6-9 months! :D Seriously, I was in one of our local "Goddess" stores (as my 2 y.o. calls them) and told the proprietor about this site. Not sure if she looked it up, but this site is so great, I just want to tell everyone about it!

I'm with Emerald Sky! Little shirts would be great! Everyone else sells something why shouldn't y'all? I'm thinking of doing tye-dyed shirts but I don't know how well they go over. Good luck! Don't forget to copyright!

Just to let everyone know...I am moving forward with this. I thank everyone of you who have given me feedback.

I will create another forum and keep everyone updated on the progress of the new project. Thanks again!

mol,
have you registered "mystic wicks" as a "trade/service mark"? if not i'd suggest it as a good idea no matter what you decide to do. the name is your creation and you have the right to protect it just as i protect my former "brattleboro arsenal" dba name from when i was actively in the gunsmithing business.

I'm with Emerald Sky! Little shirts would be great!

I'll take a 2t and a 4t please!
How cute would that be? Then we would have to take all these great pics of the kids in their t's and post em here :D i love showing off my kids LOL!

Good luck mol and semele! I hope that this works out to be a very prosperous venture for you.

Pherhaps you could put a Link to the Store here on Mysticwicks on the top with the FAQS and HOME links and stuff. Just A suggestion. It also wouldn't hurt to give all the "special members like mysef" FRee stuff.:D

I for one, like my shirts big, so 2x please. Black with Green letters if you can. :D Bumper sticker would be nice too! Maybe you can come up with a catchy slogan (j/k). Anyhow what a fab idea. I'll buy. Hope you accept checks, I don't do credit.

Wouldn't it be wild if at the next big Pagan event we saw hundreds of MW bumperstickers and tee shirts?

"Try to take over the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Go for it! Why not? I don't think anyone at all would mind. It's a very neat idea. I think it would just add to everyone's feeling about being "part" of something. Ya know?

(ponders mystic wicks chocolate bars, mystic wicks cheesecake,
mysticwicks perfume, mystic wicks calendars with mysticwicks bachelors on them...JUST KIDDING!!!!!!)

Just an update...we are working on this. Basically I think we are going to open up a shop online and carry all sorts of pagan goodies...incense, candles, oils, yad yada...as well as the MW merchandise. Eventually we want to open an actual store front here in our home town but we are starting out here!!! More details as they come availiable!! Thanks for all the support!
