Much like Cooch over on vinylnoize.com, I like when a seller gives a little background on the item I’m buying. Again, like Cooch, I don’t need a full history of the band, but rather the history of the item. It’s the item I’m interested in buying. I’m certainly not buying the 3rd guitarists wheat allergy (which would only be considered interesting if the shirt I’m buying was made from recycled wheat products).
But this Right Brigade shirt is literally all about me. Now this is a description I can get into.
I traded this tee to Dobek probably 5 years ago. He was still living in London at the time. We had this continuous trade going on that involved me sending him hardcore merch, and he would then send me Euro/UK Nikes (jd sports will not ship internationally, or they wouldn’t back then). It worked out for everyone. I removed records from my house and stuffed it full of sneakers. Over the years, I probably got 8-10 pairs via Dobek (and then later from Marcus, Adam, …). It’s funny. I’ve sent this guy some gems, but I have never met him in person. We’ve probably been emailing each other regularly for over 10 years, and we’ve never met. When I visited London, he had just moved to Japan. And I haven’t made that Japan trip, but he’ll probably move to Korea or Finland or Papa New Guinea before I can get there.
Read the description. It’s a good one. I’m tempted to buy it back. I just might.
