Putting The T in Pinterest

January 27, 2012 by Jimmy J · Leave a Comment  

Please join us over at Pinterest. Pintawhat? It’s a burgeoning social virtual scrapbook network. Women are the heaviest users because it’s basically crack when you want shopping inspiration. Many ladies are claiming they need a pintervention after only a few hours of use.

But there’s a nifty men’s apparel category and that’s where you’ll find the Defunkd profile. We’re gonna plug in all things vintage t-shirt we dig up while surfing that doesn’t get coverage on our blog. Click through to the story behind the infamous “Wild Thing” tee and how Marshall Lester bootlegged the design. Shame on him.

Give the page the Facebook thumbs up, or sign-up, follow us and tune in.



VintagePimps 60 Auctions Starting at $1

We love it when our favorite vendors break free of the fixed price format and roll the dice with auctions – that’s how eBay was built! Kudos to Mike from VPs who has 60 vintage tees up for grabs starting at .99 cents. Don’t assume these listings will all close beyond your budget – put in bids, many deals are scored during auctions like these. And if auctions aren’t your bag VPs also has 155 tees at 20% off.

We’re on the hunt for a vintage Buggles tee needed for something really important (it will all make sense in a few months.) Please contact us if you have one for sale or any leads: buggles@defunkd.com We’d prefer if it had a Video Killed the Radio Star imagery, but beggars can’t be choosers. There’s a swell reward if found.

Defunkd.com launched in the summer of 2004 with this nifty little flash intro. Begin by hovering over the star inside the ‘d’ and only click when you’re prepared to be blown away.

When you want the music to stop (sorry) you’ll have to refresh the page or click on our original tag line, “Purveyors of Funky Vintage Apparel.”



He’s Back! 1223coo = 2011lady1990

July 12, 2011 by Jimmy J · 1 Comment  

Remember when the Defunkd community rallied to report 1223coo (aka happypretty10) to eBay for his his years of abusive refund practices? Thanks to your actions his account was suspended from eBay and his ability to rip-off sellers and use illegal bidding practices was put to an end. But like most scheisters on eBay he simply started a new account called 2011lady1990 – we all knew this day would come. An inside source has confirmed he’s signed up using a relatives account – the account holder has the same last name (Hotta).

If you are so inclined here’s the link to report him – and you might as well include a link to our original post in the report. Oh, and don’t forget to add his new ID to your blocked bidder list!
