Actually, he gave me the exact numbers. It costs them $17 to buy the shirts and have them silkscreened. Maybe they aren't getting the best deal, but we live in a small town; things are more expensive here. Anyway, that makes their net profit $3 per shirt before distribution costs (they plan on selling them through gas stations, shops, etc.).
Also, he didn't actually say that the t-shirts were an advertising medium for the club; I was just making a guess based on that they aren't really making a sizable amount of money from t-shirt sales.
I know this guy a little bit personally (outside of business), he's not the type to lie about numbers to get a deal.
Based on the calculations you suggest, I should be asking at least $1,500 for them to use the photo on 400 t-shirts and 200 posters.
While you and I understand why this might a reasonable amount, I have a strong suspicion that they'll blow me off if I present a figure like that for what they'll see as "one picture".
