I hate to tell you this but that’s exactly what stores do as well. 2x is not even a very large profit margin for some products.

themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoCustom T-shirts with extremely limited runs (hundreds) cost $10. Creators are selling them for $20+. Creator merch is a scam or if you want to look at it more positively, a donation with an item in return but no items sold by a creator is even close to a reasonable profit margin.

You can do t-shirts for $10 with even smaller runs than that. I’ve done batches of 50 or less at $10 a pop going with a local screenprinter. This is usually 1 or 2 colors.

20 bucks is more than reasonable for a 10 dollar shirt imo. But where I am, often these shirts will go for the equivalent US$50 plus the same or more in shipping. I think that’s a scam. 20 bucks is nothing

Buying for $10 and selling for $20 is pretty reasonable. You do realize there are other costs than just material right? They aren’t taking home $10 on every sale.
