Subject:      LIST MUGS INFO!!

Since lots of folks have been asking, I thought I'd put out the latest word on the coffee mugs. I have the prototype for the mug, and it looks great! I am really pleased with how it turned out. I'm expecting them in in the next couple weeks, as well as the S&R design (SOLD OUT) which I'll be mailing out as soon as I get them in...Anyway, many thanks to those who ordered. I hope to have everything mailed out by the end of this month. Sorry it's taking so long, but I've been trying to coordinate work with 3 companies. However, I have things set so in the future I can work with just one. Anyway, thanks, and here's the scoop:

Howdy all! For those of you searching for that perfect container for your favorite beverages, let me present to you- the List Coffee Mug! Here's all the information below- but first a little disclaimer for the many newcomers who may not have heard about me and my official list merchandise. I am in no way a professional merchandiser or printer. I am NOT doing this to make money. Rather, I'm just a struggling college graduate who loves Busses, as well as the neat people who drive them. I also like neat bus stuff, like t-shirts, stickers, and all that stuff. So, over the last couple years, I've printed and sold t-shirts for the Bus Lists. People send me the orders and payment, I buy everything, and mail it out. I've never (knock on wood) been burned by anybody, and in general tend to be very trusting. Anyway, over 100 folks out there in list land have received, and been pleased with my stuff in the past. So, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask someone. One reason I am mentioning this is that the prices for these mugs are probably more than you would pay in a store. The main reason is this- I'm ordering *very* small quantities. Printed merchandise is pretty cheap when you order 1000 items, or even 200, but when you order less than 50, it gets expensive... So, please bear that in mind. I actually have certain minimum orders to fill, otherwise they won't print them...

OK-here they are:

1. Classic 4-bus Netvergnu:gen ceramic coffee mug. This is the same design as the list t-shirt, with front views of all 4 generations of busses. The design has 4 colors in the busses, and wraps around the mug. (the front views are all side by side, instead of 2 by 2) the words "Netvergnu:gen" and the Vanagon@Lenti address, and the http://www.type2.com address are printed above the design. This is a standard sized, white, ceramic coffee cup, nice for home, office, or wherever. I have to sell 144 of these, so feel free to order several!!!!

Pricing- The mugs run $7.50 each, plus shipping and handling, for a total of $11.50.

Non-USA orders please note- I need US cash from you, please, well-hidden in the envelope. I also have to add $4.00 for foreign postage as well...

Ok then, here's how to order: Send a check or money order payable to Richard Palmer, and an index card with your name, address, e-mail address, and number of mugs ordered to: Richard Palmer 121 - C Park Ave Raleigh, NC 27605-1832 USA The costs are again: Mug 1 - $7.50 + $4.00 s/h = $11.50 Non-USA orders please add $4.00 for foreign postage

I realize this may seem a bit high, but that comes from not ordering thousands of mugs at a time... (If anyone is ordering several mugs, like 5 or more, there will probably be a break on the shipping)

****STICKERS**** may be ordered at the same time, and will be sent in the same package. Prices on those are 3 for $5.00, and 7 for $10.00

Anyway, please allow for a few weeks for order processing by my expert staff (me), and I'll try to get them out as soon as I can. Thanks! :)
