Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
I have a Thai customer (distributor) who makes the t-shirts himself(buys the poly cotton cloth and then stitches the shirts to match screenstars, etc), he makes his own tags and he can do multicolor prints. These other guys get lazy and skip one of the steps along the way.
Have vintage Elvis tees? Let me know!

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
Sounds like a lucrative trade. That shirt posted above with disclaimers and all sold for $88. Unbelievable!

crazyfreddy is at it again. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0772200308
Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
He thinks it's okay because he puts "repro" in the listing. These bidders are just as dumb - we can't blame this on a language barrier - he only ships to the US. Are they just not reading it and assuming it's vintage? Or are they actually OK with it being a bootleg? I mean it is pretty clear in the listing - in bold red letters. If he was a real man he would put it in the listing title and remove "vintage".
I'm reporting it to eBay again now.

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
Perhaps it is a clever money laundering operation?
Otherwise I cant see why anyone would pay so much for such a poorly printed piece. I think i cut better screens in my high school graphics class.

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
If you thought the Champion fakes were only Blue Bars on ringer tees....think again. Nice touch on fraying them too....

And all of this coming from a guy who typically deals genuine stuff and is in the business. Sad.

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
Seems like a lot of work creating these fakes just to list them for $60.00 but I guess if you get good at making them it becomes a volume thing.
Sell 16 of them at $60.00 and bam! You just made a $1,000.00.

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
Yup - and he was getting $100-300 quite regularly - probably scoops them up for $15 each.

Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
This might be a naive question, but can his listings be reported (even the ones that say "repro") if the tags themselves still say "Made in the USA"? He says that he only ships to the US, aren't there laws about misrepresenting a country of origin?
Re: Case Study: Harley Davidson Champion Shirt
Lots of reasons to report it....mostly mis rep. and intellectual rights...counterfeit...none of which ebay takes seriously unless its harley or champion who engage in their vero system.
