For wholesale your tees should pretty much be the same price across the board.
So if it costs you $5 to make a shirt, you should sell it wholesale for $10 and the store will sell it retail for $20+. Or something along those lines.
Jasonda's point is that you generally don't do much in the way of quantity discounts - it's either wholesale pricing or it isn't. You could give better pricing for particularly good customers or particularly high volume, but generally you just want to give a fair price and sell as many as they want to buy.

stores usually mark up double and a half
some boutiques mark up almost triple
if we sold tees for 24 they usually come out to be 55-60 dollars

Yes, exactly.
But I do think that it might be a good idea to have a minimum order amount.

I do think that's certainly legitimate. But personally I agree with Nick in that regard: if the buyer is a legitimate retail buyer (as opposed to some schmo trying to get a discount) then I'd sell to them in any quantity. We buy samples of blanks all the time and expect to be able to buy in singles, so I tend to look at it the same way.
q's about a line sheet.
