Lately I've been scouring the net for rock T-shirts. I'm very
particular. I can't stand the classic black with some iron on
image. I look for creative works of art. Not many go there, but
I've found a few.
Anyway, I ran across these two Doobie Brothers T-shirts,
demanding high dollar.
Vintage Doobie Brothers 1

Doobie Brothers 2

Now I have a slight used version of these two shirts.
My question is first, how do I know they are collectable
vintage? How do I determine the worth of mine if I should decide
to sell
Mine does have wear. 3 very small stains (2 mm)
How does one research this? Do I ask a vintage store what they
think?
or do I just take a stab at it and offer it for $300 or so?

F*ck getting a quote from a "Vintage Store". It's irrelevant
what they have to say. It only matters what YOU want for it. I'm
being 100% serious here. I sell stuff on eBay for what I want
for it. Sure, the higher price you put on it, the longer it may
take to sell. But do you really want to sell it cheaply, only to
find out that you could have gotten a lot more for it and then
spend the following days, weeks and months regretting selling it
for so low? When I first started out selling on eBay, I was dumb
and listed a few items based on what the "going rate" was. They
sold, but it's still a sore point for me knowing now what I
should have priced them at.
All you need is just one person to buy the item you're selling.
It means nothing if you get 5000k views and a handful of
watchers on your item. You just need that one person to click on
'Buy It Now' and you will be happier for it.
With that out of the way, isn't that an 'Iron-on' Tee in the
first link? The second link looks like its an airbrush image.

One other thing, if it wasn't clear in last post, ALWAYS ask for
more than you know it will sell when you first list your item.
That way you can gauge the traffic you may see with it and then
adjust accordingly.

I don't believe either one it the classic iron on decal. While
the first one kind of looks that way. The second is just a
really nice print job.
Mine is more like the second one, where it looks more part of
the shirt than an iron on. And it definitely looks vintage, well
worn.

What does this mean.... I tried to load a pic and I had to
reduce the size. So got several of these errors. I have each pic
down to 273kb.
What does it mean the upload folder is full?
An Error Has Occurred!
The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or
contact an administrator.

I guess I never told you of my little spell of luck with selling
stuff on eBay? In particular CD's. I use to scour used stores
for unique items. Sometimes I would find some cool stuff.
I found this never seen before Ozark Mountain Daredevil's CD,
wrapped for clearance of $5.
Since I had never seen it before anywhere and nothing online, I
just posted it as 'Rare' for $10. It immediately shot up to $60
and then a bidding war went on. I eventually got $100 for it. I
knew the used store had another one, snapped it up and sold it
for less.
The kicker about this story is I got an email from a person who
claims they were the Ozark Mountain Daredevils Manager. He asked
me not to lie and say this was rare. I believe he actually said
something about fraud and would sue me?
So I did a little more research. First on the CD and then the
manager. Anyway, nothing popped up. So I respectfully wrote
'Manager' back and told him where I lived and could not find
this CD available anywhere. In my opinion, that made it rare.
Never heard from him again. Dunno.

So maybe, just maybe this might be like that. Cause what I
posted earlier is the closest thing to what I have and nothing
exactly like it.
But what does it take today to be a seller on eBay? It used to
be easy with just some minor info.

As for the "Manager" that emailed you. He was more than likely
another seller that didn't want to have to compete with you,
eventually selling the same item. The fact that he never got
back to you tells me he was in fact a seller.
Selling is pretty easy. It's dealing with sh*tty buyers where
you will have to pay attention to. Nowadays, all the power lays
in the hands of the Buyers. They can leave positive or negative
feedback on your seller page. So, whatever you list for sale,
you better make sure the descriptions matches exactly what is in
the pic or the seller will pounce and threaten you with negative
feedback which does harm seller rep.
But even with the most precise description and clearest pics,
there will be a few buyers that will "find" something wrong with
the item. Don't be fooled. They will say they are willing to
"work with you" to resolve issue by asking for a partial refund.
Never and I can't stress this more, NEVER fall for this. Always
tell them to return the item for a full refund. You will find
that that most of them will not, because they still want the
item that they have in possession.
The attachment folder is in fact full. I will need to delete a
bunch of older images that you posted early in the life of Penny
Can to accommodate you. I didn't touch any of them because I
didn't know which images you wanted to keep intact in your
post(s).

Just to clarify, DO NOT ISSUE REFUND until you have gotten the
item back into your possession and examined it to see if he/she
has tampered with it in any way.
