-*[[PrimalWear]]: In 2005, they raised their annual minimum initial order (AMIO) to $2500 for online stores. It was already difficult enough to turn a profit, given vbz's low volume, with their earlier AMIO of $500. Also, it looks like bike jerseys are a significantly different type of business from t-shirts. So until I have significant capital to sink into some stock (not just from PW but also one or other two suppliers of nice-looking jerseys I've found), I'm only selling off the existing stock. (I need to lower the prices, too - make me an offer, if you're interested in one of the jerseys still in stock.)

-*[[Wild Cotton]]: Not sure exactly what the issue was there; back in 1999 or 2000, they seemed to be saying they weren't interested in dealing with online stores, although they didn't actually refuse to sell to us. They mainly weren't going to provide nice, high-rez images anymore. Since then a lot of other places have gone the same route, and I've come to expect to have to buy stuff just so I can take photos of it for the web. Of course, it still makes it easier [[Manufacturer Images|when manufacturers provide nice images]].
