200 Nipples: Priced to Move
200 Nipples is a shirt site with a unique approach to sales- no two customers pay the same price for their tees. Confused? Let me explain. Each shirt design is limited to just 100 total copies (in other words, just enough to cover 200 nipples). The prices for each piece range from $1 to $100, and are sold on a first come, first served basis. That means those who are quick can nab quite a bargain, but the slower among us still have a chance to own a cool shirt design at a more reasonable price.
Both this shirt, a visual reference of many items that are younger than John McCain, and the previous RIAA-themed shirt are very of-the moment and political in their approach, which is probably part of the reason why some are willing to pay more than the lowest available price. The question becomes not “how much is this shirt worth,” but instead “how much is this shirt worth to you?”
ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
According to wikipedia, about 1 in every 18 people has a third nipple. That’s 37 nipples per 18 people. By my maths, that means that the 100 t-shirts they sell would actually be covering 206 nipples, so I suggest that the company name is statistically incorrect.

omg! I have no idea about that, where do they “put” their third nipple?
[Reply]
Wherever they want I guess!
Seriously, I would be surprised if many of the T-shirts get sold once the price goes above a certain level. Do you want to be the one who pays $100 for a T-shirt someone bought for $1?

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It seems like the last ones are going to be pretty difficult to sell.
It’s a really cool design and a neat concept though.

Thanks for checking out the site and all the kind words, guys. If anyone does want to buy one of our shirts, use coupon code BEGINNERS-LUCK-10 to get 10% off purchase price and shipping costs. We’re trying to spread that around to interested communities, so feel free to share it.
Anyway, glad to be mentioned, I’m going to go poke around on the rest of the site now. I’m always glad to discover a new t-shirt community.
Cheers,

sounds unfair actually, but as seen on the sales chart… they don’t have to sell the last T-shirt, someone already bought it. Who else?

The lifetime probability of developing breast cancer in developed countries is about 4.8%, according to the American Cancer Society.

The USA had the second highest rate of mastectomy with 56%.
-wikipedia.org
= 2.688%
No word if that is one or both breasts, so let’s say two weren’t, one was.
So, subtract 4.

Wow, this is a unique yet strategic marketing concept. 200 nipples is catchy.
