So between Monday night and right now, thanks @thedoughboy, I sold 15 of these! I had no idea where everyone came from but lots of FEM orders. Just crazy.
The million dollar question then, do I make another run of these?

Different ways of looking at that question. Is there more demand? Is there some way you can create more demand like giving away an extra lid or liner or two during the holiday random give away deals? Are you actually sitting on a bunch of extra lids and liners for them?
All of that aside, I wouldn't make any more unless you thought you could make some money this time or at least reduce your losses by selling the extra stock of your associated accessories.
As far as making money, another thing to look at is how often big ticket items are purchased in pair with your other goodies that normally don't sell by themselves - shirt, nail clippers, tire gauge, ect. I personally used some of your clippers this morning. I like them a lot but normally wouldn't have purchased them solo.
Wow! I can't believe I am about to type these words but...
I'M SOLD OUT OF THE FEM-1 FIRE EXTINGUISHER MOUNTS!!!!
I really hope my wife bought me one for Christmas
If not...
I hope you do another run!

I had been intending to buy the extinguisher mount for awhile but blah, blah, blah...I'm a slacker like the rest of us. Then I noticed on Facebook that you guys were now selling t-shirts. The t-shirt was what it took to finally lure me through the door and then load up my cart with other goodies too.
At any rate, once I get one mount, I'll probably wish I had two, so I hope you make another run at some point.
And my wish list while I'm here...
1) An accessory mount for my unused third row upper seat belt mounts.
2) More t-shirt designs
Cheers,
Eric
Everyone loves combo number 5! And don't forget free shipping for the holidays! And don't forget to bundle in the t-shirt or hoodies........am I asking too much?

Congrats but SONUVABITCH!!!
Do the next batch as a pre-sale. Your reputation is stellar within the mud community. Wouldn't be a concern for me. Give you the money and get it in a month or two. Works for me.
Have it be a "last ditch, snooze you lose" sale. And charge an extra $5 juice for those of us that are slackers. Just to remind us not to f$&# around and wait next time.

Thanks for the order Eric!
I've had a couple people tell M they are waiting for what I come out with next and hold off ordering.
It's ok. It's a good problem I guess.
As for your wish list:
1) do you mean like this
Or like this?:
And 2) yup, I have three more designs I'm working on
My screen printer is on vacation til 1/4/16 so I have at least that long to work on it and get feedback.

I should have said it earlier, if you make another batch make a specific run of passenger side mounts.
I'd be in for a pair of extinguisher mounts with lids & liners on your next run.
Unfortunately, I missed out on the first run and kept putting off the purchase thinking that you had a large stock.
I like etarasoff's idea re: 3rd row seat belt mounts. I'd be interested to see what you come up with for that and would probably add that to my shopping cart, combine that with your battery cut off/gauge/accessory mount thingy & maybe a t-shirt or two.

Well, I did have a large stock. Just didn't think there would be a run of them this week
Did you see what I posted above in response to Eric's wish list?
The battery disconnect is happening. I've been using my "free time" to clean up the wiring to make it more pretty.

Good News!!! Thanks for working to develop these with great attention to detail and push to get them produced!!
Even though I'd really like to buy 2 (DS & PS) if you think making additional batches would result in zero profit or a loss, then it makes sense to discontinue the item.
BUT...
If the product doesn't return, perhaps you could sell copies of the plans so we can try our hand at "DIY" copies or have a local fab shop do the work? Can't speak for others but if the product becomes discontinued, I'd have no problem signing a non-compete agreement in order to be able to buy a copy of the design/blueprint so I could have a faux wits'end FEM made for personal use.
