what does that mean?
"I think that's it for not."
<<It could be "I think that its all for naught.">>
That's what I was thinking, as well.
Abc, in some dialects of North American English (including mine--I'm from California) "naught" and "not" are pronounced identically because those vowels have been merged (there are many other words in those classes, too). Thus, such speakers may confuse their spellings (especially because "naught/nought" isn't a very common word).

Thank you all. It musta been a typo.
But what does "I think that its all for naught" mean anyway?

It means that what someone is doing will not matter in the end. It's a bit defeatist.
"Naught" means "nothing". So, it means "I think that nothing will result from it."
