Steven,

One of the reasons for the price is that I wanted people to be able to
order direct from the manufacturer, which is more or less retail.
Because I was expecting people to order 1 or 2, it's not enough to get
a price break on the shirts or the embroidery.  However, at the same
time I don't have to deal with payment or shipping or carry an
inventory of them.

If you can get the price down, and get them to deal with 1 or 2 order
payments, and handle shipping to the end user, I'm open to it.
