What does it take to sell a 19rmb T-shirt?

long sell t shirt

8.5 Megabytes

I found a link through the Twitter today (thanks @hiecho) which linked to a super cheap T-shirt. What astonished me was the length of the page (miniaturized to the left) and the quantity and size of the fashion photos. 8.5 Megabytes worth!

That’s a lot of data. The entire TFG back catalog (soon to be available as a collectible DVD box set) is only 40MB.

This Girl is Astonished, Too

Her all day photoshoot encompassed four of the shirt’s 10 available colors. It must be tiring being a model. Like any work-weary professional, our model turns to Starbucks for a coffee fix.

Every one of this Taobao shop’s value-priced T-shirts get a similarly generous photoshoot, combining the browse appeal of a fashion magazine with the instant-buy satisfaction of Taobao.

If you like the T-shirt, you can buy it here.

      Wow – exactly $1 USD. Maybe it would make a good gift for Laobanniang.

      Yeah, I wait for hours to get my funny cat videos buffered, but it seems like Taobao’s servers are right next door…

      you have to read the buyer’s comment before you buy the cheaper clothing, some of the clothing are too small, only fit the girls less than 100 pounds
