I love Threadless, the idea of it, the way the site is set up. If I had to find one find fault with it, I just think that the people who design the shirts should not only get a lump payment for having their design printed, they should get a percentage of each sale, too...AND they should get paid again when their design is reprinted. But...overall...the whole design and implementation of a mob designed/manufactured tshirt website is just awesome. The shirts are clever, too.
I just purchased this one today for my bf: 
That is my Threadless shirt love du jour. It's cute and funny and my bf was the devil for Halloween (and I was an angel...I know, I know, it was like this role reversal thing) and he was pretty scary looking, but in reality if he were the/a devil, he would be this adorable one, playing around making snow angels. So, I'm feeding my Theadless addiction, but at least today I'm not buying yet one more shirt for myself.

they do get paid $500 every time their design is reprinted :)

"$500 in cash each time your design is reprinted"
Oh, that's very cool to know. I read they didn't but of course I think someone wrote that in 2006...no idea if that means they didn't used to get paid or if the info was just wrong.
I suppose one might say that the percentage isn't that big a deal either, then, because since only a certain number of shirts are printed, it really is kind of like a percentage. Plus...one can't forget the value of having your name printed in all those shirts and on the website.
