October was a busy month on ebay. Maybe dudes were unloading stuff pre Edge Day in order to clean up on the Straight Edge frenzy. I know I saw plenty of dope shirts at the Edge Day show. Or maybe it’s the economic downturn and people needed the loot more than the shirt on their back. Whatever it was, October had some wacky sales. Check it.
Straight Ahead L&F – $20.50This one comes straight out of Lost And Found records. A bootleg, of course, but a sort of sharp looking one.
Bane Mr Sparkle – $15.51Can you do any less? Mr. Sparkle plus Bane. Chalk this up to Mr. Nick Branigan and Pete Chilton. Great shirt. Sold around the Hell Fest 2000 shows. Pretty limited.
Gorilla Biscuits Last Show/Pizza Tee – $72.98Last show tshirt. Of course, GB would reunite and play more shows, but at the time, this tee was screened for the last show. It resembles the lid to a pizza box. I’ve never really seen one sell for this much before. Then again, I haven’t seen one on ebay in quite some time.
Outspoken Survival Tee – $172.16Here’s a strange auction. Cool shirt that two bidders got in a crazy bidding war over. Zany.
Right Brigade First Tee – $0.01 ($25 shipped)No bids after 6 days so I emailed the seller. Offered $25 shipped which was immediately excepted. Later, I found out the seller was someone I had met a few years back. Cool dude. Great record label…
Slugfest Calvin & Hobbes tee – $27.68Chill tee. Apparently dudes aren’t psyched on ash grey XLs? I don’t know.
Down To Nothing Hanging crewneck sweatshirt – $46.00This design is cool. It says nothing about Down To Nothing or Hardcore or Straight Edge. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think it came from AJ Wright. Great design for a crewneck. Very chill.
All Systems Go Comp Test Press – $61.05Cover songs. Lots of cool bands. Lots of weird bands. An interesting mix: Earthmover, Until Today, Ensign, Reinforce, Reach the Sky, the Letterbombs, Extinction, Close Call, Eyelid, Supersleuth, Roundhouse, Ten Yard Fight, Standard Issue, Death Threat, Bane, and Bloodpact. Add the fact that it is a test press, and you have ebay gold.
Burn Tee – $61Your guess is as good as mine. This appears to be an older Rev tee that has shrunk something considerable. Cool tee, but $61? I just don’t know about that.
Ten Yard Fight Tee + CD – $31Great tee. All of these have aged pretty roughly over the years. Could be the bullet proof thick ink jobs. I’m not sure, but most seem to have considerable cracking. The seller even throws in The Only Way CD. Good buy.
New Age Records End Racism Tee – $6.50A chill tee. New Age Records created this series of tees with slogans on them. This was one of them. There’s another that talks about ending gangs, and maybe a few about sxe and vegetarianism. Pretty cool concept.
Veganism Gatorade Rip Tee – $12.50I didn’t even know people were still vegan … I kid. I’m vegan. Cool tee, a little weird. Looks like it’d be the perfect shirt to wear to Detroit Fest in 1996. GO (VEGAN)!
In My Eyes Thumbprint – $1Did this slip under the radar or are people against XL shirts? I’m guessing a little of both. It worked out for me. I think it came to $4.75 shipped. Dope.
Wide Awake “Schism” tee (boot) – $16.50Ugh, don’t get me started on this tee or this seller. Please.
It’s Ok Not To Use Drugs PPP re-print – $3.75Cool reprint from Justin Thunder Lizard. Cheap wearable scoop. I’ll take it.
Smorgasborg Records SXE Tee (tailored from XL to M) – $16.50Smorgasborg is the new Smorgasbord apparently. So is super tailoring tees. Yuck. Someone either got a great deal (due to a title miss-spelling) or a terrible deal due to the tailoring. We’ll have to ask the winner once it arrives, I suppose.
So there you have it. Some highs, some lows, some cheap wins, some expensive wins. Keep em coming, I say. Peace.
