Lots Of Touring

By b. murphy | Published 12/18/2010

If the seller name smacman7369 looks familiar to you, that’s because it belongs to a familiar person. That’s because you probably see this dudes face weekly or perhaps monthly. Terror Road Crew! Dude is always on tour. Always behind a merch table. Always stage diving off of amps. Hell, this dude and Chucky Edge are probably the most recognizable dudes in hardcore on 6 out of 7 continents. No doubt. Thing is, road crew can’t pay every bill so dude is selling some merch. Do the right thing. Buy this gear, keep the dude on the road doing what he loves. Some great lots here. Terror, Cruel Hand, Integrity, Trapped Under Ice, Born From Pain, …

Punk Rock Starter Kit: Shirt Edition

By b. murphy | Published 10/30/2010

Oh man, gbhpunk1 has got the auction for you young ‘uns. This one is perfect. A little bit of every corner. Black Flag, Youth Brigade (Cali), 7 Seconds, Banner Of Hope … Even some metal with Megadeth. Someone clue me in on who Vanilla Muffin is? Sounds delicious. This lot is super cheap with less than a day to go. The Black Flag shirt ALONE is worth the price of this auction. Feelin it (not feeling the sheets. Little too Wild Style for me).

When Things Go Right

By b. murphy | Published 10/23/2010

We came down pretty hard on flamestillxburns the other day for butchering some amazing tees. Turning an XL tee into a 3/4 sleeve baby tee is … deplorable. But this auction makes up for that. What you’ll see here is size SMALL tees. In a giant lot. That’s 7 tshirts and 3 hoods. You can’t eff with that, great lot. Verse, Betrayed, The First Step, Joy Division, Road Rage, Late Night Wars, … Lots of good stuff. Including the Crisis Of Conformity tee … Check It…

Sometimes Lots Don’t Make Sense

By b. murphy | Published 09/24/2010

Sometimes, lots don’t make sense. This is one of those times. Not sure what shutten87 is thinking. Lets lay out the contents here: Have Heart (tee and hood), Bane, Shipwreck, Kids Like Us, The Carrier, Think Fast Records & Alpha And Omega. This lot has less than 10 hours to go and is sitting at $50. That’s $6 per item currently. That’s a terrible return for the seller. Obviously great for the buyer. If the seller had broken out, at the least, the two Have Heart items, he probably could have got $50 for just the hood, and at least $25 for the tee … Oh well. Good for us bidders who wear mediums!

More Metal Than Morgado

By b. murphy | Published 09/20/2010

Earlier today, Morgado dubbed Monday, Monday Metal. That’s all well in good, but seriously, the dude posted a Manowar shirt. That’s some wizard and sorcery metal. Crushing metal, no doubt but still, dragons and goblins and shit. I prefer to stick with more classic stoner metal. Give me some Black Sabbath. Or in the instance of this auction from 95blubrd, give me Ozzy. Dude has obviously lost it. And he had lost it a long time ago. Well before this 1992 tour with Slaughter and Ugly Kid Joe, I’m sure. Jeez, what a tour. How did this tour NOT leave the northeast? And look at those locations. Saratoga Springs? Were they racing ponies on the side? Does that really say East Troy? Jeez louiz. What a wacky tour.

Now the best part about this auction is that not only does it contain an excellent unmetal colored shirt (honestly, what metal shirts are NOT black?), it also contains a tie dyed Metallica World Tour 1994 tshirt, which I think one ups Morgados Slayer shirt. Agree? That graphic on the front is intense. Is that a skeleton racing a motorcycle out of a pentagram clad, circus paper clothed hoop? Sit down, this one is heady.

World tour paired with a northeast tour. Interesting lot. I can’t vouch for the authenticity of these tshirts, but for the BIN of $60, it’d be criminal not to scoop.

Violation Lot

By b. murphy | Published 09/05/2010

Dear reader. It’s not often that we at TTD claim ignorance on shirts or bands (our knowledge is omniscient and infallible when it concerns tshirst, duh), but this lot from huludicidalball contains a shirt I want to know more about. On the far left is a “Real Low Pro” shirt. It features a guy nicknamed “Mr Alpine.” Now to me, this sort of looks like Fred Hammer. Is Fred Hammer Mr Alpine? This is what I want to know. From a little google hunt, I’ve come to figure out that Alpine is likely a venue in Ventura, California that is currently called Skatestreet. Now, Ventura is super damn close to Oxnard, home of Mr Hammer. So let me know.

* PS. great Michiel Walrave shirt in this lot too…

** PS. One more tidbit. At this time, the seller has 50% positive feedback. That’s because he only has TWO feedbacks in the last year. One positive and one negative (something to do with charging someone shipping on an item marked free shipping). Just an FYI.

Tip: Selling In Lots

By b. murphy | Published 08/17/2010

Lots are tricky business. They can either be a great way to unburden merch fast or a lazy man’s cheap out. If you are looking to unload a stack of tees, have a deadline to sell and can’t be bothered listing a ton of items, lots could be your best bet. But there’s a catch. Just because you list 14 tshirts, doesn’t mean you are going to get at least $140 in return. Oh hell no. Most kids are cheap. Fuck, I’m a cheap bastard, I know how this works. No kid is really interested in all 14 items (hardly ever) and doesn’t really want that chintzy Up Front tshirt in the pile (especially when quality originals are available). So most times, selling in lots barely ever benefits the seller. But buyers love them. It’s a great way to get a stack of tees for $50.

There is a way to make lots work out BETTER for you the seller, though. Take clear pictures. Just because you are lazy doesn’t mean you can get away with one picture of 45 shirts. That won’t cut it. It definitely won’t cut it at your bottom line either. So clear pictures are key. Also key? Descriptions of each shirt. You can’t expect a buyer to pick out there favorite shirt in a pile of 50 if you don’t call it out by name. Also, ebay doesn’t keyword search your image. No one will stumble on your Earth Crisis lot if you don’t specifically mention the keywords “Earth Crisis.” It’s as simple as that.

So lets rate the lots from bitterseth. How’d he do? I say he gets a solid 80 out of 100. His descriptions mention all the bands and describe the tees. His pictures aren’t terrible, but they aren’t stellar either. It’s really hard to gauge the condition of these tees from the pics. BUT, I’ll give him extra credit for this line, “Bid hard and pretend half of these bands didn’t deteriorate into total garbage.” You determine what bands he is talking about …

Who Broke Edge?

By b. murphy | Published 08/06/2010

Anyone know nick666demons? This lot is for an ass ton of straight edge merch. Who sells such a giant lot like this? 28 tshirts, longsleeves and hoods? Intense. $67 shipped to the US even seems like a bargain, unless he’s strapping them to the back of a porpoise. I can’t think of any other way you could get such cheap shipping. Plus you get a few xAFBx tshirts. Weren’t they featured on that National Geographic straight edge documentary? Seems like a good lot for a young kid to pick up. If you like Attack Attack and are straight edge, I found the lot for you.

“You booze …”

A Little Bit Of Everything

By b. murphy | Published 07/03/2010

4680wanne is an individual of unique taste. Take this lot for example. It has a little bit of everything. Something from every genre. A rudeboy tee, a punk label or two, a CBGBs striped shirt (uh, weird), Alkaline Trio (> AFI) and a Miles Away (this is the Australian hardcore band, correct?) shirt. This is one of the weirdest lots I’ve seen on ebay. And not like “A juggalo tee and a youth of today tee” as that would just never happen. That’s outside the scope of reality. This one is strange because it’s not super ridiculous, while still being odd. You decide.

This Is Metal?

By b. murphy | Published 06/21/2010

frankrizzo789 dropped this “metal” lot onto ebay 6 days ago. 3 shirts for $2? Yes please. Now, I’m not much of a metal fan so this “metal” lot actually works out for me. Reign Supreme. Dope. Sworn Enemy? Good gift for Jim C. He can wear it with his beanie this winter. ABACABB? Dunno. Mortal Kombat references are cool. And the shirt looks like a Cold World shirt so that’s cool.
