Just bounced this off the Head of the Architecture Department (heh, that
sounds funny), and he’s pretty jazzed about the concept. Anyone hazard a
guess as to what 5% royalties for 6 months might actually turn out to be?
Or is $100 a good guess?

Say (conservatively) these are placed in 1,000 retail outlets worldwide
(include S@H as one)
Each sells 5 sets per week.
Since these are micro, with a small piece count around 100-150, estimate
price at about $10
Designer earns 5% of each sale.
.05 (royalty) x $10 (each) x 5 (per store per week) x 1,000 (stores) * 26
(weeks) = $65,000
That’s a VERY conservative estimate. I expect it would make a great college
fund.

I believe the site says 5% of net profit, not retail cost. And I doubt most
outlets will carry these items.
