    I think the reason why its so hard to define your question is because its not based any issues or any substantial goals or reasoning. Your problem is how to divide it up. You've got is a pie chart 2/3 to you and 1/3 leftover. Why shouldn't all $10 go to the designers?

    • I'm sorry you have found my question hard to define, but thanks for answering it anyways.canoe
    • If you didn't know that there was an extra 10 would you ask the same question? Would you pay them $10 if it was your store?canoe
    • Do you think $7 is fair? Would you accept $7 for one of your shirts? After all you could still have your own store where you make $15.canoe
    • I appreciate your thought because this is the heart of the problem. And it may take negotiating.canoe
    • I wouldn't like the idea of getting only $7 or $10 from a $30 shirt I designed. I'd probably expect about $20, with $10 going to the rest.monospaced
    • You can't just copy what I would do and expect that to work for your business. It'll be doomed to fail in the long term.omg
    • So how does that work Mono, you're going to start a business and not be able to cover your costs, you wouldn't survive a week.canoe
    • You've already said that you've covered your operating costs, supplies and materials.omg
    • you literally asked what someone would expect, and I gave an honest answer ... not trying to argue with youmonospaced
    • There really isn't an argument, you'd never get 67%... I'm just trying to explain to you why. I hope that you'd understand how the numbers don't add up.canoe
    • "this is for fun, for spirit." Also, I certainly CAN get 67% by simply printing it with any vendor not trying to take the 67% himself, sorrymonospaced
    • Why would any designer need to give you their work, when they can make and sell it themselves?omg
    • ^for fun! lol. it'll be great exposure.sarahfailin
