Default Re: what's the best way to sell t-shirts for my new movie?

My boyfriend and I, just started a merchandising company. Our first line is t-shirts and we are trying to figure out how to lower our cost per item. We are now paying $7.50 (3 colors/50 shirts)per t-shirt. I guess I need to know are we being unrealistic in thinking we can get a better price? I know part of the problem could be our quantity. At what quantity can we get a better price (generally) and what do you think a reasonable price would be at that quantity? Our sales price is $24, which is good when we sell directly to customers even at 7.50, but when we try to sell to retailers that's where the problem comes in.
