  Yes, what an over-imagined idea that was. It would still be cool for them to sell shack merchandise though.

    Yeah I think they should have left it only stuff that was shack merchandise. T-shirts, stickers, shot glasses, beer glasses, that sort of wild stuff.

    I think the problem was more that the orders didn't ship, or ship completely. The whole shipping thing was what killed it,

      I seemed to remember they got fucked by UPS or something like that. It was indeed a sad day when it was shut down. Things are a little better these days for online merchants, but it's still a chaotic world.
