Our college age son regularly goes through the "rag" bags at a small community thrift store for those dingy torn shirts. He'll often have several at 50 cents each - because that is the cost of the entire bag - so, actually the thrift store makes more money overall. He knows how to treat them to bring them back to a wonderful condition. His degree? Art History!
I must say Kevin, out of all the resellers I watch, you are the most informative and generous Seller! You sharing your hard earned knowledge for free like this is commendable. I feel sorry for anybody that joins and pays reselling channels when they can learn a lot from you and the inter-web! God bless you and your family!! You and your family rock Kevin!
I’ve been watching you for a long time now, and finally decided to take the lead and start an eBay store. I just listed my first 30 items and made a sale. I’m hooked!
Good luck and I wish u all the best on your new eBay store. It’s definitely all about the journey and not the destination. There’s lots of great reseller RUclipsrs to learn from. This guy here is definitely one of them. Follow whoever is reselling what you are and always b willing to learn. Happy hunting.
Nice! I have maybe 10 items. Looking to have a few more before I start my store... It's hard to find actual cool vintage worth picking up. I'm not trying to sling $10 I buy for 5 or $20 shirts I buy $10. Doesn't seem to be profit there after time/gas and fees. I feel like I gotta buy under $10 and the value has to be $40 and up to make it worth the time
I finally hit a good one few weeks ago. Found an early 1990s pro soccer jersey made in the U.K paid 2 bucks sold for almost 200 all in within 1 minute of listing .... I under priced but still super happy. Much love and greetings from Tennessee
There’s a few local young guys in their 20’s that fly thru the t shirt sections of all the thrift stores just to find vintage t shirts of value. They’re in and out within minutes. Makes my day when I find something else or one of the vintage t shirts they didn’t get. It’s more miss than hit with vintage t’s but it’s the best when u find one. Happy hunting.
Wow, just like the Cabbage Patch show, this really improved my education. I already revised a ebay listing to "ringer" t shirt, I was wondering what AOP meant, I thought it was a storage code LOL Thanks Kevin and your guests for a great education! I love these types of shows
glad to hear the vintage shirts were made smaller. I have my original Led Zeplin tee shirt and concert tickets from Chicago tour 1977. I held the shirt recently and thought holy crap did it shrink that much? Great info, thank you all.
I always look for vintage rock concert and any form of racing shirts. I’ve sold Tupac and Smashing Pumpkins shirts in the $70 to $80 range and have found sprint car racing shirts from the 90s and got $30-$40 for them.
Happy Thursday Kevin 🥰🥳 Cernoch & Tim Are Truly A Wealth Of Knowledge 🙌🏽👏🏽 Love Those Fellas @Reseller Information Network ❤️ So Great To See Them With You!!! Thank You For All You Do For Us 🙏🏼💙
Since I’ve watched this video I’ve been on the lookout for vintage tees, I found 5 at an estate sale, all single stitch. Within an hour of posting I’ve sold one already, a FL Robinson tag, poot explosion graphic. Thank you for all your efforts in education and making us all better resellers.
Liquid blue grateful dead is a 2000s reprint. Most likely on an anvil tag underneath the brown Liquid blue tag. Original 90s Liquid blue are printed on the white Liquid blue tag.
u guys my dad has been collecting HD shirts for 40 years ...he has them NOS un wore in his closet ....hundreds of em ....LOL hope they aint dry rotted ....
I did this back in the late 70's and early 80's, we didn't have the internet, no telling what I had sold and neither the buyer or me didn't know what we had
LOL I have my "flairs" from my youth and a lot of my shirts from the 80's ... time to dig them out and sell sell sell! I can date my shirts... by size, Medium in the 80's to 6XL in the 2020's LOL
Incredibly helpful! Love all your videos but I'll be watching this one a few times to take in all the great info. One question... your guest mentioned the black dye as a factor in dry rot - does dry rot only occur in black shirts or can it occur in any shirt? Thanks!
Ugh!! Makes me regret getting rid of alllllll my T-shirts from when I was in high school. I had so many Liquid Blue tie-dyes because I was that grunge girl who wore tie-dye with a flannel shirt and Birkenstocks!! Lol
Great episode with a lot of great advice. It's funny how what is hot changes over time. I have several old ringer shirts, but am waiting for them to comeback into style. 90's rap has eclipsed 70's & 80's rock in terms of value...though some of that is due to supply. As for Harley, black shirts w/ Made in USA do better than white shirts or those made outside the states. As for sourcing, I haven't located a "vintage" shirt in any Goodwill in years. I don't know if many of them are even making it out onto the floor. 90% of the shirts I see in Goodwill (and most thrift shops) have print-on tags☹
I saw a pair of Levi overalls the other day that had me confused. Looked old AF but had a black and white Levi tag (not red and white) but a separate red tag. I didn't know.m
Just wondering about yellowing on a white shirt, I passed on a cool Dale Earnhardt shirt yesterday, because the whole shirt was yellowing, and I had a fear that i could not get out. Is there anyway to get it truly white again?
I let it sit in a warm/hot water wash with bleach for an hour (not too much bleach!), while also adding Shout or a similar stain remover on the darkest yellowing, incl under the arms. Rub gently with a cloth. If it's from years of sweat, the yellowing likely won't go away, but it may help a little. White Earnhardt shirts don't sell nearly as well as black from my experience, and most from post 2001 are not great sellers, because the shirt presses went into overdrive after he passed. And of course, the larger the better. Good luck!
Hi Kevin. I'm not into clothing but I was wondering. If you do find a dry roy T that has never been worn or washed, is there a product that can be used to slow or retard the progression of dry rot. I know that to mount for display you need to use acid free products. Love the videos.
Hey Kevin, my wife and I have a question, do you ever buy Amazon return pallets? If so how do you feel about them as a source for goods? Ty sir! (maybe a good video idea?)
@@commonwealthflipper True, it does seem to be all over the place, so I had taken the time to research it, and the most common consensus is 25. It's all cool though, btw, been watching you for a few years now, love the vids, and keep them coming. Thanks!
Technically it's 20 for listing purposes, but I usually pass on a post 2000 shirt unless its a band tour shirt or one of special interest. Even the dreaded Gildan tags are from the early 2000's, thus considered "vintage".
@@CommonwealthPicker That's fine, like I said, platforms are one thing, I personally use the classic definition...at least I don't use antique dealers definition of 40 plus. I just personally think if a person can't drink at 20, they ain't vintage either, lol. It's cool bud. Have a good one.

It is always amazing just to sit back and listen to Tim and Chris. So much wisdom from those two.

When You Love What You Do It Shows In Your Excitement When You Talk About It 🙌🏽💙 Great Video As Always 🎉🎉🎉

Love it! Im always on the look out and got my eyes open. Thanks for the tips. Love, love, love it!
A vintage Pink Floyd concert shirt is what started my reselling adventure.
I have been waiting for this! Thanks thanks thanks. Excited to watch.
So informative!! Ty for having these guests!
That was some AWESOME shirts!! Thanks for the info and Thanks for sharing!!

Is there a place, app, or website that you know of that can help you identify time frames for a certain brand tags?
A few years ago I picked up a vintage Michael Jackson concert t-shirt for less than 50 cents and sold for $100. It was single stitch
Thanks Guys!
😲 Wow I learned a lot from these guys they are awesome 😎👍 Thanks for the video
I feel like I'm in class everytime I watch your videos. Thanks for all the knowledge 🙏
Thanks Kevin! A lot of Great Information!
u guys my dad has been collecting HD shirts for 40 years ...he has them NOS un wore in his closet ....hundreds of em ....LOL hope they aint dry rotted ....
Great Eneman labcoat!
Thanks guys !
I did this back in the late 70's and early 80's, we didn't have the internet, no telling what I had sold and neither the buyer or me didn't know what we had
Just enjoyed the conversation and information. Liked the stories about the Harley Davidson Shirt. Thanks again Peace Out
I couldn't believe he held up a Ray Mancini shirt. I just saw him at breakfast a week ago in Youngstown. He's a local hero.
Great information, have been buying and reselling a few shirts and this will help tremendously. Thank you!!
LOL I have my "flairs" from my youth and a lot of my shirts from the 80's ... time to dig them out and sell sell sell! I can date my shirts... by size, Medium in the 80's to 6XL in the 2020's LOL

Almost exclusively with the color Black because of the black sulfur dye used in the 80s and 90s eventually becomes insoluble and highly acidic.
Awesome video I love thumbing through racks for the vintage gold myself. Thanks for the great information.
... ooooh THAT dog!
Ugh!! Makes me regret getting rid of alllllll my T-shirts from when I was in high school. I had so many Liquid Blue tie-dyes because I was that grunge girl who wore tie-dye with a flannel shirt and Birkenstocks!! Lol
Sounds like me an my girls in the 80s
Found my first 3d emblem just the other day!

Great video! I learned a lot and you answered so many questions for me as I’ve been watching you guys. I follow the podcast. 🌟✨⚡️
Love instructional videos like this, thanks for doing it.
More informative videos like this please
This was actually a good video 👍
Love your videos
Good Show! Those guys know their stuff!
I sold a $2,000 T shirt - it had $1,998 in the pocket.
I saw a pair of Levi overalls the other day that had me confused. Looked old AF but had a black and white Levi tag (not red and white) but a separate red tag. I didn't know.m
So is his 1993 made in mexico, non-printed tag, double stitch shirt "Vintage" and that combination maybe worth picking up??
Hey Oh!!!
Kevin is the best
I tell BRM that all the time
@@commonwealthflipper she already knows she locked you in lol We love you in Australia
Wow! Great info
Love that lab coat😂
Crazy Tee Values❤😮
If someone wanted to get started in this business, where do you source all these tees in the first place?
Thanks for info.
Ouuch.. fee's on 2k.. ebay always wins

Not that I am aware of.
Did I miss their YT channel name?😂
There are not many selling that high anymore(referring to the $2000 price)
Yes but Cernoch’s did
Awesome informative content. At our age, are we antique, or just 2.5x Vintage.
Lol
Hey Kevin, my wife and I have a question, do you ever buy Amazon return pallets? If so how do you feel about them as a source for goods? Ty sir! (maybe a good video idea?)
I don’t. Just not my style. The ROI for the time put in isn’t worth it to me.
@@commonwealthflipper I gotcha! Ty
how do u spell chrises name? i want to follow him
Cernoch’s connection on IG
You can also follow him on RUclips. Reseller information network
If folks wanna be seen they gotta dress different than the commoners 😅
A colorful shirt is ok but putting on church clothes or a suit is even better
Lol true these days
sir nock or chur nock ... ?
Chur nok
every guest you say "ill link them in the description" but in every video you never do it.
There info is around the 26:20 mark.
Sorry. Over the years on yt and IG cernoch’s connection on IG reseller information network on yt
The classic definition of vintage is 25-99 years old. Vintage is NOT 20 years old. I know someone that claims vintage is 10 years plus, nope!
I’ve heard 20 and 50 but never 25. I suppose it just matters who you talk to
@@commonwealthflipper True, it does seem to be all over the place, so I had taken the time to research it, and the most common consensus is 25. It's all cool though, btw, been watching you for a few years now, love the vids, and keep them coming. Thanks!
@@Dark_Lordall major selling platforms are 20 years
Technically it's 20 for listing purposes, but I usually pass on a post 2000 shirt unless its a band tour shirt or one of special interest. Even the dreaded Gildan tags are from the early 2000's, thus considered "vintage".

The whole genre is just plain silly.
Hey Kevin, did you have to do alot of math to become a teacher? I read to get a BA, it's not as math heavy. I ask because I struggle in math
Not to much
