Van Dame tee

Post by timerewindtees »

I listed a Van Damme tee shirt with the spelling of Van Dame on the front and Van Damme on the back. The eBay item number is
#162591793740. ( I don't know how to copy and paste a link to the item).

My best guess is Video Unltd purchased blanks (Screen Stars Best) and had them printed incorrectly. Could you confirm this?

Is $74.99 a fair price for this tee? I have a buyer interested but he wants to pay $40.00.

I'm new to selling vintage tees and don't want to misrepresent my items in any way.

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards,
Shari

Hello - I checked it out - you def. should include VTG in your title and see if a new listing attracts more attention. The mispell is a neat novelty and worth mention but doubt it will factor into the price much. But $40 isnt a bad price either.

I was told by a thrifting facebook group to pull the listing because it was a bootleg and illegal to sell. Do you agree with this? I pulled it out of fear! Thank you for your help.

doubtful...its a local video store promo misprint. I wouldn't worry about it.

That was my first instinct and mentioned it in my listing. Thank you so much for your help!
