Jedi Academy Keychain

This is a serious question.
I don't ask many of them, but this is one is one of those.

Most of you know I'll be participating in our mini-enterprise this school year, and so far, my idea of personalised key-chains seems to have fallen into a liking with the group.
That doesn't mean our enterprise will feature my product (not at all, nothing is certain), but it does mean there is a chance.

Now, I have this question for you:
If I would make Jedi Academy Key Chains in some way (wood, rubber, w/e), would you buy them via the online shop?

I'm actually thinking of perhaps supplying DJ Sith (or whoever actually owns the JA-store (I know it exists somewhere on the net. I've seen DJ talk about it somewhere some time ago) with a batch of key-chains you guys can buy.
But first, I want your opinions;
- Would you buy it?
- How would you like to see a keychain like that if you would buy it?

Again, I have no means of assuring you that those key-chains will be my product, but it could be, and I expect to be prepared if the times comes.

Thanks for all your future help :)

Sincerely

- Steven, Severus, Bail (whatever :P) -

On this note, whatever happened to that JA Shop idea? They were going to sell JA thongs...


The shop idea was mentioned during the logo competition I not sure it got futher that the discussion phase. The thongs would obviously been the big sellers :)

Who owns the rights to the various JA logo stuff that Odan Created? Can anyone just take the jpg and go to a site to get it added to mugs hats etc if they want?

/me goes and gets a T-Shirt with the JA logo on.

And Bailey I may be interested in the key chain if it had the JA-Logo on


funny you guys bring this up. about two weeks ago i started workin with DJ to get the shop set up. hopefully i'll catch him on again soon and we can keep moving forward. :)

Okay, you can forget about all this.

My project didn't get chosen ...

so no keychains

but I can sell you

1) a bag with your logo on it
2) some funny little man made out of rocks ( :confused: )

3) err, whatever the correct english word for this is ...
We can put some kind of simple logo on that as well ...

Depends really. Some carry a small service charge. Also remember that Paypal charges a percentage of what you make per transaction. Actually, I think its a pro-rated scale, like, $0.16 if the transaction is under $50 and so on.

Payment - Use paypal!

yup, reading up on Paypal now
it definitely seems the right way to go

the only problem I'm having is that you have to have a credit-card ... which I don't have ...

don't suppose they're free? :P

what if i dont have any keys ? :P

then you could have keys made at your local key-shop! or buy blank keys, that do absolutely nothing ... or buy a key-chain that you can save for when you do have keys later in your life :P

or you can also buy nothing of course ... that way is a lot cheaper anyway :P

Hm.....well I think most people would want to see a prototype before they make a decision. But I'm definitely interested.

Of course I'll release some pics of models you can buy when (and if) the time comes :)

Quote:
Only thing is, I have no possibility to buy online I think.. Never done it, and don't think I alone have the chance, but we'll see..

Well, generally I think we'll just need your address to ship it to you. All we need then is a way of payment, but I'm not very handy with those. Never used PayPal and such ...
I'll need to google to find out how that works exactly ...

Quote:
And BTW, did you find any paint or something like that to make them glow? I didn't find that many links the days we talked about it on IRC.. And they had shipping times which were pretty too long I remember.. What did you decide then mate? :)

Well, I looked around and asked around.
Most of them couldn't deliver on time, others couldn't deliver at all ...
so I decided against it and went with my girlfriend's project.
With all the work I'll be having this year (my schoolyear and the mini-enterprise) I'll probably have to re-do my year anyway, so I still have plenty of time to think of something for next year :P

But thanks for your help though :) You really sped up the process with your help ;)

Quote:
well i would buy it only if it somehow comes to my country.

I think shipping shoudln't be a problem.
The only problem I can come up with is that if you spend two dollars on the keychain, and ten dollars on getting the key-chain to your house.
Will have to think of something to avoid this, I think :confused:

Thanks for all your replies people :)
