You could meet Pescado in a dark alley with a suitcase full of cash, or...

I'd go for a Cafepress-type deal or either Paypal or money orders.

So, there are people still using mousepads? Since I started using laser mice, I've not found a need for mousepads, the mice generally work better on the desk surface with no mousepad.
I use a mousepad with my lasermouse because I find it slides around more easily than on my old varnished wood desk. I agree that it isn't really necessary for tracking.

I'd be keen on t shirts, though I'd also be happy to donate for no reward, except the continuation of MATY.
I'm with you there. I'd be happy to donate even without the lure of a t-shirt.
speedreader:
Don't you have to have up-front cash to have T-shirts and the like made to sell? Is there a source for that cash? Generally the price for printing is lower the larger your quantity, but without knowing how many you could wind up overstocked and run into a loss.
I don't know about the receiving end of PayPal, so if you have had difficulties (and know that it is likely you will again), I would say forget about it!
Personally, give me a PO box and my check (or M.O.) will be in the mail. I would not play Sims without the kind of hacks I can only find here. Like many others, I just want my game to make sense and play well.

With Zazzle and Cafe Press, there is no upfront cost. However, if you spend US$20 on a MATY t-shirt, we don't see all the dough. At Zazzle, a basic t-shirt starts at $14.95; if we charged $20, we'd only see $5.05 of that. We can, of course, charge more (they let us set the markup), but people would have to know that if they get a t-shirt for, say, a $50 donation, we only see $35 of it. IF that is okay - a high markup - then we'll go forward with planning for that.
It's a great alternative, however, to through into the mix. As the biggest issue we currently have with PayPal is getting the money when we need it to send to Malaysia, multiple payment options is probably going to be the best.
Do I need a new poll? It sounds like people at both PMBD and MATY would be interested in merchandise as an option.
(As a side note: how should we pick the designs we'll use? A contest? If we do that, we should run the contest through early-September and get the 'store' up by the equinox.)

As do I. I have a wireless mouse (Energizer E2 Lithiums last a good 4-5 months, tell your friends) and my mousepad is this flat, shiny surface that reminds me of what most keyboard trays are made of. Flows like a dream. No scratchy bloaty hand, either. At work, I have these clear plastic numbers for my mouspad and wristguard (Addison has no wristguard as my knees serve as such).

That would be fine to me. Donating otherwise just gives you a warm fuzzy. Donating and getting big comfy shirt gives you...well...big comfy shirt.
