Of course, the real measure of your designs is not how many stars they get here, on RC.com, but how many products you manage to sell through your website and cafepress.

My bad - I misunderstood the target market of people looking to display quotes on their shirts that they don't want others to be able to read. Based on what I've learned, I think this should be a winner:
I think it will be a hit with posters who have racked up a single star post or two of their own but isn't for the IBS-afflicted.

I do all right. It is not a big niche market, and selling via cafepress makes the items expensive, which is a hindrance for a lot of people. I have not had a single item returned in 2014 so far, and have an extremely low rate of returns in comparison to what others on the site who use the discussion forums seem to. I would say less that 10 items since I started in 2005.
As for the "underestimated market" remark - Yes, apparently you have underestimated the market. I have other designs aren't plain fonts, and they do fine. You've certainly a right to your opinion, and I don't think all my designs are the most wonderful thing on earth, but I do have enough years working in the fashion and graphics industry to have confidence in my own work. Especially since the out of pocket expense on my end is fairly small. A few hours time, for the most part.
