So, what's the better option? A $75 hat you can actually buy directly, of which nearly the full amount goes to charity, or a $35 hat that sells through before you can finish checking out, and then goes straight to eBay to line a reseller's pockets?
A better option would clearly be making waaaaay more hats and selling them for cheaper.

An even better option would be to read. If you read, you would know that you're incorrect.
they're scared about product sitting...you can tell.
da OG niketalk shirt sat for years...so i kinda can't fault em.
As for selling 300 hats for $40 each, we actually put that theory to the test. In 2014, we produced 288 of fitted hats and sold them for $40.
People were reselling them for over $80. Meanwhile, we suffered over 20 cases of chargeback fraud. After accounting for the stolen products and shipping costs, the sale netted just $3,011.58 for the Equal Justice Initiative - but we donated $10,000 of advertising revenue and Instyleshoes.com donated an additional $10,000 to make up for the disappointment.
Fast forward to 2017. We made a total of 75 hats (some of which went to staff) and sold them for $75. 8 were auctioned off on eBay. We made more money from those sales than we did from the sale of 288 fitted hats at $40 after accounting for all the fraud. Including the eBay charity auctions, we raised over $5,000 from the 2017 hat sales, and an additional $5,000 in t-shirt sales. It was far and away our best apparel fundraiser to date.
When we charged less, the product was more attractive to both resellers and thieves. Plus, the more items you sell, the more labor is required to package and ship them.
Hat should stay at 40, Tee is a decent price. Hat and Tee 75$.
Should do a preorder on them instead?
I like the Hat, but for 75 idk
Yes, the underbrim is kelly green, just like on the previous NT hats.I'll bite on the snapback, I always wanted a Niketalk one and last time a hat was available I underestimated the power of our community lol. Love the red brim on this one, is that Green on the under brim?
I remember that. We had a t-shirt giveaway in different forums - you won the Music forum's contest. The General forum's giveaway was a Photoshop competition. Those were a lot of fun.I've still got these shirts from like 15 years ago. Got em for winning the NT rap contest.
Bear in mind, this is being done for free (or at a loss) by NT and ISS.^I see that. But what I meant by way more was like a ridiculous amount more. Like thousands of hats produced. We have almost 200k members on this site. A 300 hat run for a community this large seems like a major missed opportunity IMO.
That's why I dont really buy what you posted. If there was a really, really high number of hats produced (let's say 5k), at $40 and people were still selling them on ebay for double, then I would totally get the justification for keeping it so limited. But IMO, 300 isnt really all that different from 75, considering the amount of people in this community. The numbers are entirely too close to be drawing conclusions from the comparison, IMO.
Ok? What’s that have to do with my comment?
Just means a bunch of Minecraft characters like fitteds then.

I wear an 8 in fitteds but it’s because I have dreds.
