Clicking the "bid" button, Zhang Ziyue, a 27-year-old Shanghai resident, joined a real-time online auction on Thursday. After three rounds of bidding, the virtual hammer fell - and a pair of pearl earrings were hers for 400 yuan ($64.42).
"It was a huge bargain. At a department store, the price is some 2,000 yuan. What's more, I really enjoy the fun of bidding and competing with other buyers.
"It feels good to get the things I want at the price I want to pay," said Zhang.
