 It would be an idea to have a Make it a Mug bot, like the Make it Quote bot. But it puts the quote on a mug and sends you an invoice to pay if you actually want it made and shipped. 🤔🤔👀👀

 People will be hesitant to share address and name. 

For a second I thought of a mug bot which is a robber robot. Points a gun at you and demands bitcoin. 🤔

 That works too.

Yeah, that's the thing with a marketplace (for physical stuff) on here, who wants to give out a home/work address?

I have actually thought about having a site which is just HQ pngs to make your own at a local t-shirt/mug/poatwr printer shop. And people can donate for the PNG, or not.

 It could work as B2B marketing service. Otherwise too much hassle for little.

 I've often thought about using a mail forwarding service for this very issue.

 There are services that have "real" addresses so you can get anything, as many places don't send out accept PO boxes as "legit."

 Why? I get packages to all sorts of names all the time.
