That's funny.  The Nat'l forest is down in SoCal where I used to live and I knew about it long before I knew about Cleveland where I live now.

Is this one of your shirts ?  Iffen it is, I'll get one.  It has a dual meaning.

There are a few tricks to find out where a buyer came from, but none of them are on the Amazon side. Unless you have a FBA store or something, I think. I haven't gotten into it that far. I need to put a Facebook pixel on my website (and get the website repaired and working right). 

I thought I'd have a chance to dink around with my site, get a proper store set up, but they just tiered me up so I have a lot of open slots now. /norest

I've been trying to noodle around with the keywords to draw in people and I've put some image links on my Tumblr and Pinterest pages.  I don't care so much about who buys it as much as how they found it as well.

If it doesn't sell in 90 days, they drop it. You can re-list it, but change up the text in the bullet points so that people can find it. If a shirt sells even one time, it stays live forever.

No, you can't get any info about who bought it. Just the size, style, and color. When I sell a new design I'm always shouting to the kitchen, "Did you plug that shirt? Who lives in Cleveland?" etc. because it's great when friends buy a shirt, but frickin' awesome when the sale is 100% organic. It means my listing is done somewhat correctly, with searchable words that lead people who would buy it, to it.

I'm surprised they don't do hoodies and coffee mugs yet; I guess they will soon.  I looked at my account and saw I had one sale this week.  I don't imagine there's anyway to find out who they buyer was, is there?  It doesn't really matter anyhow.  One shirt has this note on the dashboard:  Live (pending removal) Days remaining: 26.  I'm not sure why; it's not the oldest submission but it may be the only "premium" shirt.

Leave it to Amazon to have a cool 404, though.  The 'product not found' page gives a link allowing the viewer to get to know the dogs of Amazon.

I feel the need to point out:
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #4,545 in Books
That represents a wholllllllllle lot of money.

The program that Proclivities and I are using to sell T-shirts on Amazon may be branching out into other products... someone spotted "Hoodie" in the source code for the page we use to make our listing... wasn't long before someone found a live "test" listing. I'm sure the image is something they rejected from someone like me, last year. I'm also sure that if you order it, they will cancel. But hey, never hurts to try...

Going to use the RP link when Amazon'ing great way to support Radio Paradise!

I knew it wasn't yours because you would have put the left skate on the left side and the right skate on the right. Your attention to detail always amazes me.

Mrs. Islander has a cousin in Europe that overbuys clothes. She is often the beneficiary of the occasional purge. I've always been kind of fascinated by the random use of English words on their clothes with no context or meaning.

That shirt's pretty funny, especially the "an image" line.  It's an interesting idea to just have a stranger do a design from a random/senseless phrase - probably a little more challenging if there is a language barrier.

This is NOT one of my designs. A lot of people use "designers" in far-off lands to crank out shirts that they can sell. I guess they give them some text and art direction and see what comes back... 
 


  
Sort of like a Cakewreck...

It could also be a decimal-place error; those bottles can go for $25-$30 apiece.

I just realized that maybe the seller is buying/selling in something like Phillipine pesos and forgot to do the conversion.

I've seen some other grocery items at ridiculously high prices.  Mustards or other (regional) condiments for $20-$40. a jar?!!  Whenever I see an item (like those bottles) at such a bizarre price (like those micro-cassette recorders from some months back), I always wonder if there's some fool out there who bought it.

I don't know what people are thinking, and that's probably a mistake made by someone in a faraway land. FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) says you can buy stuff, ship it to Amazon and have them sell it for you. That's how Costco products show up on Amazon; some people are willing to pay for the Kirkland brand or Trader Joes brand even tho it can be had for less at the store. So if I had a FBA account, I could do that and set my own price; it's a niche thing too. If Contigo upgraded their line and the blue ones are discontinued or the new tops aren't as good as the old ones, there's a way to take advantage of that and get them at a cut rate, sell them at a premium... 
 
Or you can just set them super high and hope a government employee doesn't look very close.  
 
If I ever get that flavor of Amazon sellers account I'll try it. Can of Pringles for $99.
