I have had a CafePress.com store for over a year. It is a neat little set up! All you need is any kind of logo and you are on your way. You simply upload the image that you would like to have on your products and they do all the work. So what does this cost? Absolutely nothing, zilch, not a red cent. It is completely FREE to set up your store. They make their money when your site sells a product. You can also make some money here if you have to know how. They have a base price on their products that they will charge for every sale. You can mark it up as high as you want. I use my Cafepress.com site to help promote my game ranking ladder. I purchase hats, shirts, coffee cups and other products with my logo on it and hand them out with tournament prizes. It is a great resource if you need to have a bunch or even a few shirts or hats made up... As far as selling these products and generating a serious income I am not sure. I imagine the uses for this site are many!
Here is a list of the current products which you can place you logo on and sell. I will also include some of the base prices. This will give you an idea of what Cafepress.com charges you.
* T-Shirts (all sorts & colors) / Base Price $13.99
* Sweat Shirts (colors, ash & white)
* Tank Tops / Base Price $15.99
* Baseball jerseys
* Baseball Caps / Base Price $12.99
* Visor Hat
* Coolers
* Tote Bag
* Wall Clock
* Flying Disc
* License Plate frames / Base Price $9.99
* Beach Hat
* Stainless Steel Travel Mug
* Frosted Mug / Base Price $13.99
* Coffee Mugs (large & small) / Base Price $10.99
* Aprons
* Mouse Pads
* Tile coaster / Base Price $4.50
* Boxer shorts (That's right you can even have your snazzy logo put on your boxers!)

Final Thoughts
The uses for Cafepress.com's service are unlimited! There site is very professional and well put together. The user interface is very user friendly! There products are top quality. Their support in-depth and well thought out. Their service is FREE to set up. The only down side is things are a bit expensive. If Cafepress.com had a larger line of products I would have gave them ***** big stars...
Here is the URL to my Cafepress.com store if you care to see how they look.
