Default T-shirts

I thought last night "I need some new t-shirts". I haven't bought any for ages, mine are looking a bit worn.

And before I go any further, I should note that I'm a Primark shopper.

So I thought to myself "I'll go online. I bet there's some nice printed t-shirts for a reasonable price"

I thought it would be obvious. Cheap (but decent quality) imported t-shirt, print design on it, flog for cheaper than a shop would. I figured there would be loads of online stores taking advantage of this gap in the market.

Like heck!

£17.99 seems to be the going price

And even then they don't have much on them anyway.

I think I might have spotted how to make my first million

You will have a good business if you can find the clients and satisfying the market. The problem is that you will not be likely to find the clients who wish to buy when you wish to sell.

Oh indeedy, it was mostly in jest. Wouldn't have the investment to set up, even though I've probably got the time to start marketing it.

I rarely shop for clothes online. I find the prices are usually higher than on the high street, the quality is rarely as good as it looks in the pictures, and choosing the right size is purely guess work.
