This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from the lead singer (left) of a rock band titled, WAGSWAYZ. He has generously offered to come live in your home for one week if you bid at least $300. Interested? I was until I realized that he doesn’t do drugs and rarely drinks. What fun is that? Also keep in mind you’re responsible for paying to have him flown in from Indiana. Damn, costs are staring to add up here and now I just really have my heart set on a creepy stranger living at my house. I’m thinking it might ... Read more

But these days it’s the vintage gabardine jackets that have ... Read more

Kudos to vintage vendors Refreshmint for always providing some of the most eye-catching photos in the 20k+ results that eBay fetches for a “vintage shirt” search. In this recent listing it appears as though Refreshment aren’t just selling a shirt, they’re selling a lifestyle. And not a boring, stay-home-to-knit-little-boots-for-your-cat-“Fluffy” lifestyle.

What you get: SUPER SOFT WORN TO PERFECTION DEEP V NECK T SHIRT What you don’t get: Girl, drinks, ... Read more

In 1936, Levi’s began producing jeans with a red tab on the rear pocket and the ‘E’ used in the spelling was a capital. After 1971 it became lower case. “Big E” jeans regularly fetch between $500 to $1,500 on eBay. If rare and expensive is your bag, then don’t get too hung up on case-sensitive tags. Levi’s were patented and first produced in 1873 and they sold for more than 60 years without a red tag. In 2001 a vintage pair of Levi’s jeans went for $46,542 on eBay. Who would pay such an amount? Well, the Levi Strauss ... Read more
