@Gargron hey there! Are you planning to sell this Mastodon pretty cool stuff in south America, specifically in Brasil?
Have to restock them, I haven't even posted a link on Mastodon yet and they're sold out.
@Gargron In all honestly I wonder how Mastodon operates. To me, it seems like however many plushies you order from wherever you're ordering them from, you should just get more. If a singular purchase makes a profit, isn't more better? Or are there tax reasons not to do this? Or do you never expect to sell this many?
@Gargron I know it's rich asking this as an outsider, I wouldn't know how much budget there even is for this and maybe you were going off sales numbers from last year. I guess I'd just be interested in knowing why this happened, not because I'm disappointed (I got mine hehe) but because there seems to be people wanting to buy them and you presumably being interested in selling them (unless this would make you lose nonprofit status or something)
@ErikUden It's the sticker sheets that got sold out, not the plushies! And they're going to get restocked soon. But to answer your question, producing too many is a risk: There is a large upfront cost and an ongoing storage cost. I try to cautiously base the numbers on past sales, mailing list subscribers, and poll respondents on Mastodon.
@Gargron oh, I should've looked what this was in reply to 😂
That makes sense! Thanks!
@ErikUden If we could get the plushies in some physical stores, I think we could start producing them more regularly, because I genuinely believe it's a great toy that can rival any other toy being sold in stores right now. If you have some connections in that area, let me know 😉

@Gargron is there a "subscribe to get notified when back in stock" method? 🥲
@Gargron Always important to have a change detection service running for the store URL 😬
@Gargron I was wondering if I missed a post about em!
@Gargron I was about to order 4 sheets but the shipping to me costs slightly more than the stickers themselves. I guess I'll wait.
@FiveElementNinja It's better to bundle it with other items.
@Gargron So uh... shipping to the US when? My laptop could use something to spice it up.
@Gargron Mine also got delivered today. What's even more fascinating: I ordered several mugs and stickers on friday at 09:00 AM and they got delivered TODAY at 11 AM. Never received anything quicker :D
@Gargron Will the plushie be back on sale?
@Gargron this is so cool!! Where'd you get them if you dont mind me asking?
@Gargron Haha, I love the "This is fine" one ❤️
@Gargron just ordered 4 sets 
@Gargron I'd have stickers too if you wanted to send me some 👀 👉👈
@Gargron How can I get them too?
@Gargron That's cool, but I also want stickers.
@Gargron What a coincidence! So do I.
