Note: it's buy now price not hammer price...
FWD.
 
Huh? Aren't there Interesting Morrissey shirts available at mporium like... right now? Is it just because it's 'vintage'? Is it the color?

The shirt is grossly overvalued (even if real).
I got given one with the promo at the time and put it in storage - it has not accrued that value at all.
The (colourful) remakes were sold by Mporium, but the 'promo' aspect is what collectors want as it can be paired with the vinyl.
That said, if you look at other things they are offering - they are clearly detatched from reality.
Much like Central in highlighting a seller's buy now price - which was seemingly plucked from thin air.
FWD.
 
Sign him quick! People are attempting to sell his old shirts for money that makes no sense and nobody will ever pay! You know he’d get off on the idea people treat his old merch like vintage denim.

When did this get posted U.K. time? Happy Hour post?

iv highlighted this before on here a few years back,if you look on most products there will be a few listings which are crazily priced,the seller is hoping someone will click two buttons and its bought,shut down your site and run for the hills.

Few more of their 'bargains'.

Others are at it:

Caveat emptor...
 
This is an excellent scam.

Find a t-shirt from in a box in your attic. Put it on eBay at a ridiculous price. Then boast about the ridiculous price on your official website. Someone who sleeps under a Morrissey duvet and who already has five t-shirts in this particular design feels obliged to buy it to stop you looking stupid.

Then, don't even send them the t-shirt and hire a lawyer when they ask for their money back.

Yes someone is putting outrageous prices on replicas or handmade bootlegs on new shirts with old tour data, trying to confuse the NAIVE rich too.
I also never thought that was the value. 1989 Interesting Morrissey,(Interesting Drug promo shirt) and picture on shirt was on the back of the 12" single of Interesting Drug,
others on the sight have this shirt also( maybe they are the ones selling who knows!).
The shirt is posted in collectors corner early Morrissey shirts checklist also. And yes it's very old and it's a promo from the early singles before Kill Uncle and Bona Drag. So it's one of the first solo shirts sold or given away.
NOW THE Queen is Dead shirt i would question authentication . Now I don't know about the UK, but the 1986 show I saw in the states(Dallas Bronco Bowl, named after Dallas pro bowling team The Broncos) had no merchandise for sale, of course UK could be different . And in old Smiths pictures I do see Morrissey with Queen is Dead shirt but the back words are not there that I've ever seen. StrangwaysNYC probably could answer on the Smiths Shirt authentication. Anyways , be careful on buying.

The shirt and promo vinyl were delivered to the shop together and were meant to be given out together - not sure how that went for others.
As for QID, there was the tour shirt with child. The UK side of things would be the additional sale of 'official' shirts in UK record outlets et al. With these prices though, it's not even worth a punt.

I love the guy, but, it is odd because he charged $300 for a double signed lp that would normally have gone for around $ 35 to $40 without his signature. So around $240 for signature. His shares the shirt link on his site because he thinks the price is...too high? Calling the kettle black?
