Those shirts were notoriously good at turning into tents as the fabric was poor quality. Must have thrown at least 2 away in my time!sunray wrote:A fool and his money eh? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/SPACEMEN-3-vinta ... 0743870168

I feel really good about the £250 Spacemen 3 vinyl job lot I shelled out for having seen the price of that tee-shirt. I wonder if somebody was eBaying while drunk......
Re: More Ebay madness
There was the black design with the sleeves cut off on Ebay a year or so ago and that went for a shitload of money too.olan wrote:I feel really good about the £250 Spacemen 3 vinyl job lot I shelled out for having seen the price of that tee-shirt. I wonder if somebody was eBaying while drunk......
Re: More Ebay madness
Love seeing these bits of ebay madness.
I guess this t shirt has added value as it features on the lp sleeve but even so...
I just tried to find another t shirt currently for sale at £250. Prada, FCUK or some such nonsense. Gave up!

Re: More Ebay madness
Yep, they were bloody awful. I went through two as well. The prints faded and they became shapeless within a few washes.runcible wrote:Those shirts were notoriously good at turning into tents as the fabric was poor quality.

Re: More Ebay madness
How much difference is there between that supposed original 1989 shirt, and the ones like I've got (bought from Pete Kember a few years ago) as I can't see any difference, though I don't have mine to hand ... as far as I recall it looks the samesunray wrote:A fool and his money eh? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/SPACEMEN-3-vinta ... 0743870168
I'm like Evel Knievel, I get paid for the attempt. I didn't promise this shit would be good!

Re: More Ebay madness
Quite a few appeared later on with the Popworld logo and with the word 'fucked' censored. Is yours like that?
Re: More Ebay madness
I've been a fan for about 10 years or so, certainly less than some of you who've been around since the mid-80s, but it's been odd over the years to see Spacemen 3 vs. Spiritualized vs. Sonic Boom get more and less trendy and gradually become a widely praised legacy cult act rather than the spaced-out misfits. The prices of these items reflect the madness of it all.

Re: More Ebay madness
I'm not sure what you mean by the Popworld logo, but I can be quite sure mine was not censored, as was sternly drawn to my attention when putting my coat on as I exited Sunderland Magistrates court sometime around 2006-7runcible wrote:Quite a few appeared later on with the Popworld logo and with the word 'fucked' censored.

Popworld made a batch of shirts after the Spacemen split and added their logo to the design. I can't recall if they did the censored ones but it sounds like yours is an original... Lucky you!

Re: More Ebay madness
Well that would be nice, thank you, though I don't really want to sell it ... I'll have to find the thing and check in case I've made some sort of obvious mistake, I'm never usually this lucky - I still had Railtrack shares when that went tits-up!runcible wrote:Popworld made a batch of shirts after the Spacemen split and added their logo to the design.
