Spend your money on something else! I don't get it; I see tons of these blogs where people are selling their threadless shirts as either worn once or never even worn. I have about ten threadless shirts, and I wear them all, all the time.. Where do you people get the money to waste? I've seen people with like thirty to forty shirts for sale!
Of course, I just spent $600 on a lens for my camera, but it was a deal!

a lens for a camera and 40 t-shirts are two completely different things.

Well, yeah. I guess it's money better spent than on dozens of shirts you're not going to wear.

Plus it will make me money.



And Kayce-- if they thought they would wear them, but didn't- once, or even twice, you wouldn't think they'd do it again...

"will i wear this alot"



if yes = buy

if no = admire art and move on.

It seems silly to me to buy shirts you're not going to wear. I mean, one of mine I'm not exactly sure about with the color...but if it looks icky on me I'll give it to a friend or sell it on ebay and recoup the funds (it was a sale shirt).



Do threadless shirts go up in value at all? It seems like such a niche market and all.. Maybe some of these people buy them to be collectors items or something?...



But, yeah, I noticed the same phenomenon and wondered why people would do the same thing.

I know some are great to look at but when you actually buy them, put them on, and get reedback, you realize they aren't as "wearable" as you thought. I have 3-4 shirts now that I might sell at some point because of this.

alot of people purchase them only using street team points or GC's theyve won... so its not like theyre wasting money.

so like i said, because they can. if you are getting a shirt for free, you are less picky on which shirt you choose to buy.

So they''ll run out and you can't buy it.

Even if they are using GC or STP; if they buy the shirts and never wear them, then it's stupid. People are getting caught up in the hype of new tees, and impulse buying.

i've worn all of mine. and i don't even wear tees all that often.



i get them for my fiancé too. he wears tees more often . . . 'bear hug' seems to have become a favorite. and 'fossil fuel' (and he said he got compliments on it today).

How do people have enough money to just give away threadless gift certificates on the forums?

I practically live in my shirts so It's crazy for me to think people won't wear them really.
