I don't disagree that you should print new ones, it's good to have different things.
BUT maybe you can find people that what to buy a large amount of them, which reduces the price for everybody. I remember that the first 250 were the most expencive ones, trying to print more would not be a bat idea. You could do preorders starting from now for 10 days, and maybe you can make a financial zero opperation like last time? If you don't try, you wont know! If you want to do make it happen, it's important to poke people personally to get a better response :) I think the money mather is detail, you last mail got *enough positive response to go ahead* imho. But _I would still ask around to see if nobody is interested to buy a large amount_ (like 100/250)? Maybe some people want to distribute them? I remember that we sold a package of 250 on fosdem the first year. We also put no reference on purpose, so we could exchange the with our ubuntu-nl collegeas, it is up to you to see what's best. good luck!
