+SpongeRob Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 On the reccommendation of another member I am posting this here as it's already been posted in the garage sale area. Inspired by geocaching and having a really strange sense of humor... I decided to go out on a limb and create some Geocaching T-Shirts, mousepads, etc... Some with some really bad play on words (those with a warped sense of humor may enjoy them). For those of you that might be interested in having a shirt that's a bit off the beaten trail for your next geocaching event you can check out my geocaching page on my personal website. I'm adding new ones all the time as I come up with something wacky. http://www.keenpeople.com/geocaching/shirts.shtml These are all my personal work, and it's on my personal home page. I thought I would share some humor with my fellow cachers. Rob -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote Link to comment
Cache Canucks Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 ...mind you using their website to advertise items that directly compete with their own product offerings? I doubt that Jeremy & Co. are getting rich on whatever they make selling GeoCaching.com T-shirts and such, but - considering the enjoyment that the rest of us get from this site - what profit they do see is well earned. It would be a shame if someone used these forums to erode the cash flow of the people who make this all possible in the first place. Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 I'm not sure that humorous parodys "directly compete" with Brand gear. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote Link to comment
+southdeltan Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 They might compete with the sale of offical merchandise. You should ask the site admin (Jeremy et al) about this. They may approve, they may not - best way to find out is to ask them. South Deltan Quote Link to comment
Team Covalt Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 This Cafepress site does sell other geocaching related items (among lots of other stuff). One thing that there really isn't enough of is geocaching merchandise. I would like to buy geocaching coins and cards too. Wish I could find a site that selld that stuff at a fair price. Will this site hurt the income that Jermey gets from selling the products at geocaching.com? I doubt it. The geocaching logo is nice and gets right to the point. I've bought stuff there before and will again (just placed another order too). While I got a smile out of some of the stuff at the cafepress site, I don't see myself buying any of it.

solohiker Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 If the Groundspeak group does not want the competition they will just kill this thread. They don't seem to need much help policing this website. Quote Link to comment
