Some Vintage Early 80’s band tees

Post by Inmind »

I use to work at a guitar shop about 4 years ago and out of the blue yesterday a former customer of mine reached out to me to help him sell a few band shirts that don’t fit him anymore. He went to all these show and got the t shirts there. He also has a Kinks shirt and REM shirt somewhere he’s looking to sell.

My real questions is about the X shirt in the next post, though any other advice would be awesome.

Sorry for the photos, he just sent them to me last night.

I really dig that X shirt.

There was a X shirt from 1990 that sold for $50

But then there was another shirt "White girl", which is a song off their 1981 album Wild Gift, not sure if the shirt is from the same era, it went for $21.

The X shirt should sell at $100 or more at a fixed price, though it may take time to find the right buyer. Probably not so in a 7 day auction. That's assuming it's at least a large. Medium shirts take longer to sell. Surprised the "white girl" shirt only sold for $21. It was probably either newer, or white hipster guys don't want to wear a shirt with "white girl" on it.

BTW, I think you meant Billy Idol.....not Billy Joel. In '83 Joel was in his boring Christie Brinkley Love phase, while the edgier Idol was Dancing with Himself.
