Where to sell artwork?

Anyone have any good sites that you can sell prints/shirts/etc of you artwork? I'm currently on deviantArt, and while you can sell stuff there (except for fanart :vulcan:), I've heard that it's not the best at getting the revenue back to the artist since you have to cross a certain threshold before you get paid.

I know of several sites like Cafe Press and RedBubble, but I would prefer to hear of any personal experiences or insights you guys may have.
 
I've used both Cafepress and Zazzle. When I used Cafepress a few years ago their system limited the number of designs you could have on various items, which was kind of a hassle. But I did print up some shirts and stickers for my own use (my shop was private and did not appear in searches). I switched to Zazzle, which, at the time had a more flexible shop and item system and allowed printing on colored shirts. With both sites, you can specify how much profit you make on each sale. I sold T-shirts and made about $400 in profits in 2 years, which was deposited into my Paypal account. With both companies, there are limits on copyrighted material, but I think Cafepress now has a deal with Trek that allows you to have Trek-themed shirts.
