  • malayavintagejunkie

    Yes..that was 70s John Lennon from1979…The buyer wuz well explained & he knows about it………..& he pay me USD500.00…I got no time to rip offs..

  • blackrebel

    Writing 70s as a keyword is not the same as giving the information that it is a 10 year anniversary reproduction.

  • malayavintagejunkie

    Hahaha….Are you the police of Ebay???? .Whats wrong with you???.As i told you the t-shirt was bought by my regular customer from Japan…..I m not trying to cheating my customer telling it was originally from 1969…He know about it & how much i paying for it….Also i wrote the 1970s in the description….I dont think that the problem……This is the buyer email to me… (Sorry for his broken english)

    This is one of those grey areas that everyone has used to their benefit at some point in their selling career. When I reviewed it for the above I just looked at the shirt, didn’t read even the description and I put 60s – the t-shirt itself is misleading. In a perfect world, the description should say 10 year anniversary, 79.

    It does say 70s in his title and in the description, if it were purely misleading it would just say 60s. But sounds like in this case the buyer is aware.

  • heavysoul

    if the buyer into john lennon and his legacy. so, he knew what he was buying. i think there’s no problem at all..

  • mvtgjunkie

    Im the proud lucky winner…Dont be mad when you losing the bidding wars. Mr Grumpy…O yeaa!!! Thanx Max Little!! Will Change it as the 80s on the title..I thought it was from late 70s because i got some few tees from 70s with small screen stars tag in blue colour faded like that one…But that absolutely not from 90s like Mr Grumpy Blackrebel Whining about..Boo Hoooooo!!!!!!!

  • blackrebel

    I currently own several early 90s tour shirts with that style screen stars tag.

    This sh*t bums me out. I’m so tired of sellers using misleading keywords and listing titles to fool potential buyers. Legit vintage collectors can spot this crap a mile away. I feel sorry for unsuspecting buyers and beginning collectors. My 2 cents.
