Forgotten Film Shirts

[hermosavtg]

Hard to gauge the desirability of bad (not good bad either!) movies with awesome shirts. you gonna post it on auction? I can offer you my Killer Klowns t-shirt in trade. Maybe you could name one in the inventory...

Hmmm... was sort of dithering on putting it up at all until you asked. Thing is, the movie was a flop, but the book it's based on is a worldwide cult bestseller, and I was wondering if some Jean M. Auel uber-fans would fight over it just to complete their collections. Was going to use it as the first shirt in a new pop-culture-time-forgot feature for the Defunkd blog... hmm hmm hmm.

What does that Killer Klowns shirt look like?

eh, nothing special, just like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/KILLER-KLOWNS-From- ... 0161240466

BTW, that Quest for Fire t-shirt took about 6 months to sell for, finally going for $14! I thought it would have brought some big fight from some Jean Jacques Annaud fans but...

How about I just monitor your inventory and see what I like? Though William Shatner surrounded by testicles is a compelling image...

Always on the lookout for Berlin's Pleasure Victim... if you come across it, let me know and we can deal.

He's looking a little cross-eyed there too. So many fuzzy balls!
There's a Love Life t-shirt here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-1984-BERLI ... 0404095152

It's just a hair too large for me (I like 'em 19-20" p2p, 20.5 if I'm feeling lucky), and at $75 is a bit out of reach for someone on a disability cheque. Also, I'm kind of attached to that particular album. What can I say? I'm a little girl. When we talk shirts together.

Here's my (un)obscure nomination for today:

A 1988 Die Hard Tee. FOTL label.

Unfortunately obscure tees are too obscure for me to recognize.

whoa sweet...you selling that badboy?

[CRAZYBUBBA]

Nope that's going to Manhattan as well.

I've decided against selling piece by piece myself. I'm consigning the goods one month and then selling my bales in alternate "months" (a "month" is basically whenever my next container ships). It'll help keep the quality of the bales consistent but also let me test the waters of vintage resale. Since I've just shipped a container this tee won't be in stores for another 2 months.

what about selling it to your ol' pal jimmy j?
