To be fair RB's are extremely popular and that is why i thought they would market well

>>7541664
Ok, well that is what Im hoping for. The plan is to have (semi) stylish shades that donate to a cause of the purchasers choosing. Surely "wearing your cause" is fa

heres the site that im selling them on:

They're actually pretty well built. (Nice metal hinges) I see what you mean though, I was afraid that photo kinda makes it look like the things built out of Popsicle sticks lol. Here's how I have it in the catalog (same picture) http://madeintheshadeglasses.com/products/builders

Do you think a darker finish on the wood might make them appear more durable?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 3 23:37:16 2014 No.7541880 >>7541828 Thanks man glad some one appreciates them. I'm currently out of the builders but if you're interested when they're back in stock her'es a 25% off discount code: FA7541828

What would you consider a fair price? I could probably swing 10 even and donate $2 but I would have to double check. 20 too steep for the builders?

I'm hopefully donating to the national wildlife foundation for the neon greens and habitat for humanity for the builders just awaiting approval to use their name on the site

quick question op, are these glasses (specifically recyclers) supposed to be made out of recycled material? if so u should prob advertise that. if not, what's the point of buying some plastic-crap for 12$ to save the world when only 1$ of it goes to any sort of green initiative? considering the environmental production/shipping costs to those glasses you just bought; you, the consumer, have effectively done more bad than good by buying them... no?

if you're not donating at least $3 or $4 per pair sold i don't see why you would even bother saying it's for charity.

$20 isn't too steep for any of em if you fix the design

if you keep the design you could maaaayyyybe get away with $10-12 for the builders and $8 for the rest

if thats not profitable then sorry, but it's what will sell

This is a great point and was one of the biggest qualms I had when starting this product. The glasses are not 100% recyclable therefore aren't I just increasing emissions from having them manufactured, shipped, ect. buy selling them? Tbf the negatives of selling 1 pair of glasses (burn gas to ship increases emissions, oil used to make plastic increases oil dependance will be outweighed by the planting of one tree (I haven't done the EXACT science behind everything yet.) I do realize that it is important to be net positive which tbh a lot of enviornmentalists and possibly people who would be willing to buy these glasses to support this cause wouldnt consider but is obviously very important in the grand scheme of things

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 4 01:10:22 2014 No.7542435 >>7542212 Thanks man, I think this is the eye opener I needed to hear. I'll go back and start making some tweaks to the design/pricing/donation amount

i guess i don't understand what my incentive is then, anon. cheap [plastic crap that sits around till spring cleaning] sunglasses that *may* do a little good for the world if i buy them but, "I haven't done the EXACT science behind everything yet"...

if i want to do some good, my money's better spent going directly to charity or planting goddamn trees myself, or if i want some sunglasses i'll just buy them from a company that's '1% for the planet' affiliated... either way i don't end up with cheap ones i just wanna throw in a landfill, and everything turns out better for the environment right?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 4 02:04:26 2014 No.7542689 >>7542649 I hadn't heard of toms until now but from the looks of it yes I suppose it would be somewhat of a low-end toms

Good point. So maybe it would be best to take this plan of action:
Improve sunglasses design- make them 'more original' and stick with wooden type, biodegradable materials (so no eternity in a landfill). This way you are getting a nice pair of glasses that you want. In addition to this There will be a donation (maybe >$1) to a charitable cause, which should be more of a bonus to the purchase than the sole reason for the purchase. Better you think?
