We figured out the costs of the 3-color printing, die charges and shipping, plus a little additional for first class postage and divided by 500. he took 250 and sent me the other 250.
The finals costs were $1.75 each, so to make things simple, we rounded the price up to $2.00 each. There was really not much profit to be made from these stickers. I undertook this process just to have an identification for the new network. I personally sent out many orders from members here.
For more background, see this thread;

and here:

When John's website store closed a few years ago, I bought his remaining supply of decals. Since I was more active here and attended meets, such as Reading, I was in a better position to give newer members an opportunity to get them. I continued to sell them over the years and my supply is now very low. I only have 16 left!
I also have a few of the "original" stickers with the SVX logo in black.The top of the oval reads SUBARU SVX CLUB and the bottom has the svxclub.com url. These are a nostaligic and collectible item from our early history.
In any case, if the network agrees, I can arrange with Pine Decals for more of these decals to be made. The prices may have risen slightly since 2001, but we already have the die paid for so the prices may actually be the same. All the profits would go directly to the network. I just don't want to intrude on Stevebsy's efforts in selling his stickers. The major difference between them is the URL (mine is the subaru-svx.net and his is the svxworldnetwork.org)
Let me know.
