Skinny Puppy + Siouxsie shirts
DANIEL and anyone else who might know...

I have some vintage Skinny Puppy and Siouxsie shirts (all in really good condition) that I want to sell. Before I throw them up on ebay, is there somewhere else that might be better/faster to sell them at - like somewhere more focused on the people that would buy vintage t-shirts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

ps. by vintage i mean I have a 1986 SP/Severed Heads t-shirt from the Dig It Tour, a VIVIsectVI 1988 tour shirt, etc.

I've always made good money selling at Red Light.

On t-shirts? Like how much? I've sold them other clothing before, but I think these shirts may be worth more than they could offer. . .

I got $40 for a Joy Division shirt about six years ago.

I have 4 Siouxsie shirts ~

One is a deep blue with this shot of Siouxsie on the front, but the logo is like the logo from Tinderbox, in pink. There is no tag, but I would say it is a size medium. It does look like it's been through the washing machine a few times, but other than that it's in great shape, especially for how old it is.

Another is all white, with a version of the once upon a time (singles) image, like this on the front, though the image is not that exact image. but it's close. It just says "SIOUXSIE" on the front. The tag says XL but it may be more like L, IMO. It's in great shape.

Another is all black, with this image silk-screened on the front, only there are no words and no white blobby backround - it's just Siouxsie crawling. No tag, but I would say it's L - XL. This is my favorite of all the shirts.

And the last one is the hardest to explain - it's a black and bleach tie-dye shirt, with this image silkscreened on the front, in the middle of a red, square greek border (like this) that encompasses the majority of the front of the shirt. Tag says "L 42 - 44".

My camera isnt working or I would just photograph them, so I hope these descriptions are clear enough. All the shirts are from the 80's, and have been well loved, and well taken care of. They have always been in smoke-free homes. I'm thinking $50 for each shirt, but I am willing to discuss it, especially if you want more than one.

ps. I have scoured the net looking for exact images of these shirts, and haven't found any of them. If that speaks to their rarity or not, I don't know. Just saying. ;)

How much are you looking to sell them for? I lost my Siouxsie tee when I moved away, and I can't find another anywhere. Can you post some pics? I'm definitely interested in checking 'em out.

I was thinking about $50 each - that is based on what I am told they are worth. Some people say they are worth more than that even. But I'm willing to discuss it.
