T shirts look like they were drawn in microsoft paint.

This is needlessly negative, the artwork is fine for a t-shirt.

I will say however the price needs some explanation.

$55 is just asinine.

a $2 shirt with $3 art x11... makes sense.

The shirt itself is fine, but the price is ridiculous. Tshirts don't even cost that much at conventions (where they're often $20-30(

Even if I wanted, they don't have a 3XL. No can buy for me. Oh well, saves me from complaining about the price I guess.

I get that shirts like this are made to make money for the associated product, it's like buying a t-shirt from a youtuber. It's more about supporting them than the shirt.

However, this price is way too much. $30-35, maybe even 40 is fine but not 55 is silly.

People expect it to cost more but when you charge too much you burn away good will and destroy sales, I would highly suggest you have a permanent "sale" and drop the price to $30.

It's actually more than 55 dollars, they charge astronomical shipping fees . So the total is like 65 dollars.

Not defending it but I can almost guarantee they are doing this a certain way as to not cost them anything to produce.

Basically, an outside company handles the making and shipping of the t-shirts and takes a rather large cut. SE adds a portion on top that when sold, is 100% profit for SE with no overhead.

Obviously $55 for a t-shirt is obnoxious but from SE's standpoint, even if they only sell 10, that's free money for almost 0 work.
