Default Backdoor site after "X" amount of shirts. Has anybody ever done it?

I'm thinking of creating a backdoor site within my site to house trademark parody product. Has anybody ever done something similar with their website? I was thinking after 5 shirts bought, it would give you a password to buy these shirts. These shirts would be the same as I would sell in a parking lot at concerts, but not directly on my site. Should I think of maybe doing this as a mailer to people who have purchased from my site instead of blatantly advertising this? Any, and all, opinions would be appreciated.

Barry

Why would you want to make it any more difficult than normal for people to buy from you? Your goal is to sell shirts, right?

I think the point is that these are shirts one could get in trouble for selling because of copyright issues so he doesn't want them directly seen on his site...I think its kind of an interesting idea but is it worth the risk?

Only way I would do it is if it were possible to set it up as a completely different site, not traceable back to you...

We can't advise you on how to sneak around trademark law.

Lawyers have ways of finding out, even if you don't advertise the trademarked products.
