I would consider it a discount. We posted 13 of these shirts at $4.99 on
Ebay. If you follow the second you can get to all of them. We don't expect
any of them to sell for more than the opening bid. I would have done it as a
dutch auction with a higher quantity, buy we just created the Ebay account for
the company and you have to be on 60 day or have a certain feedback rating to
do this. These shirts were intended to sell for $19.99, so $4.99 would be a
sizable discount.

Christ, it's not like I sent you all e-mails. I made 1 post to seven highly
targeted newsgroups containing people who may be interested and responded to
the replies.

How is it a hustle? If you like the shirt get one and wear it, if not ignore
my post and move on. In no way did I ever imply or even intend to imply that
this is anything more than a shirt that may interest the people you frequent
the newsgroups that I posted to.
