    I sell a lot of tshirts through my boyfriend's music merchandise. I bought a 4 color press and it does the job for everything I need.

    I started buying blank white ts (which are cheaper) and going to wash houses (in LA and NY) for dye and different finishes (acid, silicon, distressed). You just put the shirts in bags and they charge by the pound. Sales of soft goods like that pretty much pay my rent, but I'm also selling to an existing fan base. I also print for friends since I have the equipment. I don't know the first thing about selling shirts to just random people on the internet. But it seems like there are a bunch of great marketplaces to get the word out.
