Hypothetical question about hard to get tees...

Let's say there was a tee that you HAD TO HAVE. it was sold out and it wasn't likely that it would get reprinted. Would you buy a damaged one for cheap to satisfy the need? By damaged I mean small spray outs, slightly off register, or maybe the tee itself had a small spot of slight discoloration. Basically something we couldn't sell as a "regular tee" but it's certainly not unwearable.

thoughts?

selling the test prints?

ir0cko on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

yessssssssss. i would.

Noodlegirl on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

Yeah, why not. Then it'd be a unique tee.

squintygirl on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

Do you mean 'certainly wearable'? Because if it's not wearable, I can't imagine wanting to buy it.

realslimnatey on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

hell yeah, imperfections and flaws are perfect

Khol on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

Yes. I would still buy it. Anything to feed the addiciton.

Torakamikaze on Nov 29 '07 at 1:52pm

if it is wearable and sexy, count me in

kiLLyou on Nov 29 '07 at 1:53pm

Yes, I would buy !!!!!

awshucks on Nov 29 '07 at 1:54pm

I would as long as I knew what the imperfection was before I bought it. Like, I might not care if the design was off register, but I might if there was a splotch of discolouration on the shirt, etc.

tesco on Nov 29 '07 at 1:55pm

depends on how bad the error is but yeah, probably

mezo on Nov 29 '07 at 1:56pm

I am a bargin bin shopper and would get stuff only if it were not torn or ripped or sinful.

kayceislost on Nov 29 '07 at 1:57pm

you wouldnt get it if it was sinful?

is today opposite day?

Sgt.Dobad on Nov 29 '07 at 1:58pm

i wouldn't really mind if it was off register etc if i wanted it that much.

littlem on Nov 29 '07 at 1:58pm

yes.
but no, i'd give it to a battered women's home.

littlem on Nov 29 '07 at 1:59pm

*wink wink

mezo on Nov 29 '07 at 1:59pm

The lord washethed me ofth sin, kayceth!

Torakamikaze on Nov 29 '07 at 1:59pm

do you have any with random holes in the back and shoulder area for those of us with weird growths and disfigurements? Im tired of keeping my uniqueness hidden.

MrDomino on Nov 29 '07 at 1:59pm

I love print errors. Imperfect things intrigue me greatly, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Provided they weren't printed on FotL.

mezo on Nov 29 '07 at 1:59pm

.....did everyone have a lisp back in biblical timeths?

littlem on Nov 29 '07 at 2:00pm

p.s. i'd only buy if the holes were in strategic areas... hahah

kayceislost on Nov 29 '07 at 2:00pm

Steve, you need to keep those secret.

iFDL on Nov 29 '07 at 2:00pm

right, so hypthetically if there was full disclosure like "this garment has a slight discoloration near the bottom right on the front of the tee"...

ir0cko on Nov 29 '07 at 2:01pm

yes yes yes

MrDomino on Nov 29 '07 at 2:02pm

I'd actually rather not know what was wrong with it, I'd like to be surprised.

ekaj47 on Nov 29 '07 at 2:02pm

as long as its cheap - like under 10 bucks

Torakamikaze on Nov 29 '07 at 2:02pm

No wai! Im proud of who i am! My name is steve, and my goiters can't be beat!

Mikko Terva on Nov 29 '07 at 2:03pm

I'd buy a slightly damaged 'music box' or 'let's quietly judge each other' any day. bring it.

pyr4lis on Nov 29 '07 at 2:03pm

yeah I would be fine with it as long as I knew what the problem was! Alot of us who craft and rework the tees into other stuff would too!

Torakamikaze on Nov 29 '07 at 2:04pm

will there be disclaimers like "This tshirt was burned completely in a fire. The ashes are slightly discolored, but that can easily be fixed with a broom and dustpan"

mezo on Nov 29 '07 at 2:05pm

I do not like surprises. Please show photos of the shirt boo boo.

t4sh4 on Nov 29 '07 at 2:06pm

littlem on Nov 29 '07 at 2:06pm

Torakamikaze on Nov 29 '07 at 2:08pm
