Best prices on materials (continuously updated)

ronpaulitician · 06-13-2007, 01:08 PM

A one-place stop for the best prices on Ron Paul materials. Prices listed in bold are from companies that I have successfully done business with. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of prices not in bold. Prices in italics are from companies that others have successfully done business with. Prices that are neither in bold nor italics are from companies that nobody has yet successfully done business with.

Please note that many materials can now be purchased through the official campaign store here. All purchases will count as campaign contributions, but at the moment, it is not clear what percentage of the price of official campaign store items will go to the campaign. For example, if you purchase one campaign button for $3.00 and pay another $2.00 to have it shipped to you, the purchase will count as a $5 campaign contribution. The production cost of one button is probably about $0.10 to $0.20, and let's say it costs $0.50 to mail the button; your $5 campaign contribution will probably net the campaign a true contribution of a about $4.30. This means that if you're able to purchase that same button for less than $0.70 elsewhere, that may be your better option, as it'll allow you to make a greater donation to the campaign, and avoid counting the cost of the button towards your max campaign contribution.

Michael:

Do you have a link, or is it a local store (without a website)? Front and back for $6.00? (or only front) Is that price for large orders, or even for a single shirt?

I've found this site (click me) that allow me to print the Ron Paul Revolution (black and red) on the front and back of a white T-shirt for $4.59 (1,000 shirts)

They're local. I'm going to check with them specifically to make sure that:

A. I get the prices right for other people
B. That they really want to go in this direction - we got the hookup from one of our members.
