Hi George,
We've got K-Marts too. They are now the same thing as Sears. According
to Wikipedia, your K-Marts are independent but licensed from the Sears
holding corp.
It looks to me like the dye sublimation printing is fairly wide
spread. If we came up with a good image (or two), everyone could get a
t-shirt made locally at a reasonable price. Then no hassles with
shipping, sizes, etc. I don't know how the dye sublimation printed
shirts hold up as compared to the screen printed though. As far as I
know, I've never had a dye sub printed shirt. Back when I still had a
job, we had a paper printer that used that technology. It did a good
job on images as the different colors of ink would blend together. It
effectively made the image look like it was higher resolution.

Bob,
No Walmart - but we do have K-Mart, I think someone must have copied the idea from you chaps.
If it were me Bob I would go for the 24 quantity and flog-off the rest for $20. You would sell them quick enough if it were a good design and quality T-shirt..
