Fitty T shirts Going to Hell :Graucho

Bought about 2 or 3 t-shirts from the site, but hardly ever wear them.

They're not exactly suitable for going to a bar/club etc... :1orglaugh

Interesting.

Wasn't there a story on CNN once about the owner's family getting poisoned after making the shirts where the guy was using the Koran as toilet paper?

I thought I remember reading about that, unless it was all a hoax.

edit: found a link about it:

same here :waaaaahh

tshirthell wont even load for me... is it just my shitty ISP or is the site down already?

Just a quick note to everyone who says they didn't make any money.

Several years ago I sold funny baby shirts and used the same fulfillment company as T Shirt hell. I can tell you the amount of shirts they sold was crazy. The owner added a new building just to handle the t shirt hell demand.

But the funny t shirt business really changed about three years ago and I don't think T shirt hell changed to meet the market. They tried Torso Pants but it wasn't what people were looking for.

True, people may not have worn them much after the first day but they sold a ton of them for a few years and made a shit load of money.

Same with the baby shirts I sold, very few people actually made their babies wear them, they were bought as gifts and as a joke.

Bah....great marketing gimmick.

Make people buy shirts now because they think they'll never be able to get them again....get the lookie loos off the fence so to speak.

Then after it's over, say the demand to stay open was so overwhelming they decided to keep going.

Kind of like a furniture store going out of business.

What a shame.

If anyone from Tshirthell reads this message - contact me if you're looking to do an asset sale.

Cheers,

Brad

Haven't we seen some of those shirts on the smoking gun mug/booking shots?

That's one crazy story. I can't believe someone would try to kill him....just nuts.

Too bad they are going out of business. I always like his shirts :thumbsup

What happened 3 years ago that changed the funny t-shirt business? Funny T-shirt tubes?

This sucks, I've bought so many of their shirts, where will I shop for clothes now? :helpme

Dude, you need to post a warning before posting shit like that so I put my beverage down before reading it.

Fucken iced tea through the nostrils.

It sucks man....I always looked forward to the "new shirt notification" emails!

Sort of. Print on demand popped up everywhere and new shirt designs where stolen instantly and put up on 300 Cafepress shops. But that really wasn't it.

Less literal shirts where coming into fashion. Shirts with abstract or nonsense prints and designs.

Novelty t shirts go in boom and bust cycles. But some people don't realize the profit margin, especially in mail order sales. When you are doing 10K plus shirts, the cost per shirt with printing is under $1. Plus, with a volume shipping account, your shipping is around $.80 cents per order yet you charge $5.00. It really becomes a cash cow very quickly if you have the volume.

They claim to sell over 3 thousand shirts per week.

and I suppose you claim to have read the whole thread?

Time to change links

It was a joke.. overpriced shirts still in biz

Called it :glugglug

And they will do it yet again, because it works.

I wonder if they really sold 100,000 shirts the past few weeks

:2 cents:
