Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: T-shirts

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hi Ann, when I have sold AGA merchandise at events, I set up samples and a
price card, and tell people to find me.<g>  It may not optimize sales, but
it DOES give people a chance if they want stuff.

How many pins do we have left?  SHould we try to move them too?  They are
easy to throw in luggage, fun to wear, and probably many of the people
coming to the convention don't have one...

I just checked my stash of AGA merchandise and I'm down to only 3 pins!!!
Are we really that low?  If no one else has any, we can just put these three
in the auction as "collector's items".<g>
