I'm guessing that they will cost less than $30, and I'd like to keep it less than $20.
Those of you that work in the print industry hit me up with an estimate. Assume a 15 month calendar (twelve normal months and an extra page for Jan/Feb/Mar of 2009, and a full color cover front and back) - also assume 11" by 8.5" for the size of each page.
Don't lose track of the Print On Demand service of
CafePress. Their basic calendar, described below, has a base price of just $14.99, and can be sold for that price plus shipping. It also avoids the issue of having to deal with any minimum buys, group buys, stock holding & payment handling by any individual.

I'm pretty good at setting things up on
CafePress, having done it for some other organizations. Their products are very nice, and the simple fact that it handles all fulfillment, payment, returns (rare that they happen) and stocking make it an attractive option.
