I called today to order the Ra shirt. After telling the guy that I was "from Saturn" and thought list members were being offered a 10% discount, he said, "Yes, unfortunately that's true. The full price of the shirt is $15.95 and we charge $3 for shipping and handling." I don't know whether Dr. Kuchelmeister rounded down to $15 or if Gear is trying to recoup some of the 10% discount by raising the full price by $0.95 on us! :) It's not that big a deal, but I thought I'd mention it for the benefit of list members who might be contemplating ordering the shirt.

Lynn and All:

Dr. K was only resending some inaccurate info that I had previously winged, without access to a reference. I found a Gear, Inc. order form and their regular prices are $15.95 plus $3 shipping - they are not discriminating against Saturnites. In addition, XXL shirts are $17.95 and 50/50 sweatshirts are $29.95.

Lynn, I am surprised that whoever you spoke to made the remark about the discount being "unfortunate." They have been very respectable in the past.
