Motorhead Twisted Sister Vintage 1980s T SHIRT UNWORN Single Stitch S - FESTIVAL
Item History & Price
As from September 4th 2013, ebay have decided that they are no longer content to charge commission only on the final sale price, but also on the postage and packing charge, so unfortunately I have had to raise these charges by the same percentage. If and when ebay reverse this policy, my shipping charges will be reduced by 10%.
I am disposing of my extensive collection of badges and patches, which I built up mostly at concerts in the 1970s and 1980s. The majority are rock and h...eavy metal, but there are a few of other genres. I will also be listing a few T shirts and magazines (Kerrang!, NME, Sounds, etc.), plus concert programmes and related items, so please keep watching my listings.
I have made every effort to keep all my items in excellent condition (although this has not always been possible with the paper items), so the vast majority are as new or nearly so.
ATTENTION! T SHIRT SIZES VARY FROM MANUFACTURER TO MANUFACTURER, SO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MEASUREMENTS GIVEN FOR THIS GARMENT, THEN YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER IT WILL FIT YOU.
This Small (according to the label, but please see paragraph above) black short-sleeved 100% T shirt was printed in 1982, when I purchased it at a concert at the Racecourse Ground, the home of Wrexham FC on 24.07.82.It has lain undisturbed and unworn in storage for many years, so it is in excellent condition, although a little dusty.
The hem, sleeves and collar are all single stitched, as was common at the time, nearly 40 years ago now.
The printed area is slightly too large to fit under my scanner, so not all of it is showing in any one scan, but I have uploaded several scans which between them show all of the design.
The image area measures roughly 9 and a half inches by 12.
The shirt measures approximately 15 and a half inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm.) across, from armpit to armpit, and 19 and a half inches from front neckline to hem.
Front and back are shown on scan.
Budgie, Tank, The Moon, Raven, Orion and Rampant Antics were also on the bill, and get a mention on the shirt.
Any apparent vertical mark at the edge is glare from the scanner.
In an exception to my usual returns policy, I will not accept returns where the buyer has failed to take note of the measurements given in the item description.
This is the only size I have in this design, so please do not pester me with requests for different sizes.
If you have zero or very low feedback, particularly if you are based in Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia (apologies to ebay users in those countries who honour their bids), please contact me in advance of bidding, or your bid may be cancelled without notice.
If you cannot see a Buy It Now price on any of my items, it will because there isn't one, so it would not be an efficient use of your time or mine to ask about one.
I am also currently selling several similar items, so please check my other listings.
Payment accepted in sterling by cheque, postal order or International Money Order. Please note that Canadian or US Money Orders in USD cannot be cashed in England; only International Money Orders made out in Pounds Sterling are acceptable. British banks are no longer accepting Eurocheques.
If you would like to pay by PayPal, please read the following SLOWLY and CAREFULLY:
PAYPAL PAYMENTS: I reserve the right to ship only to confirmed PayPal addresses, which must in each case match the address notified to me by ebay at the time of sale.The carriage quoted includes insurance. This is to comply with with PayPal's Seller Protection Policy. Details of this, and PayPal’s other policies, can be found on the PayPal website. If you would like to pay by PayPal, please make sure that you are thoroughly familiar with all of PayPal's terms and conditions.
The cost of insurance is, for the UK, £1.30 for Recorded Delivery, and this has been included in the postage amount. This gives coverage up to £50. Above that amount, Special Delivery is advisable. This costs £6.70 for items weighing less than 100g, and £7.50 for items weighing between 100g and 500g. Rates for heavier items are higher, and I can supply details on request. Special Delivery means that your item is insured for up to £500.
For overseas purchases, International Signed For at an additional cost of £5 has been included in the shipping amount. This gives cover up to £50. This service is not available to box numbers outside the UK because of postal regulations, so any bidders who do not have a street address registered with ebay are kindly requested to make alternative arrangements with me before bidding.
Only one insurance fee per consignment is charged, so there would be savings if more than one purchase were to be combined.
I realise that insured shipping is not always cost-effective on items of low value, and so I used to offer shipping without insurance, at buyer's own risk, which many customers welcomed, as it was much cheaper, but since 22 September 2009, ebay have removed the ability of the customer to choose insurance as an optional extra. Therefore, all my listings will have a combined handling/shipping charge which is inclusive of insurance. Please contact me IN ADVANCE OF BIDDING if you would prefer shipping without insurance. This will not be possible should you wish to pay by PayPal, unless you have good feedback, live in a country with a reliable postal service, and can send payment by PayPal's Friends and Family facility.
I would rather not be paid by echeque, and you will not receive your item before any such payments have been cleared, which on past experience can take anything up to 3 weeks. Please ensure that your Paypal account is in credit before sending any payment.
My preferred method of payment is by bank transfer or cheque drawn on a UK bank. If you can pay by this method, tracking and insurance will be optional and this could result in a considerable saving in postage expenses.
Please bid only if you agree with ebay/PayPal's terms and conditions.
COMBINED POSTAGE: As my items vary so widely in size, shape and weight, it is not possible to quote postage prices that take into account all possible multiple purchases, so if you win more than one item, please do not complete checkout or send payment before requesting and receiving a combined invoice, otherwise ebay's automated system will overcharge you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I will gladly combine items to save on postage, but if you are thinking of placing further bids, please alert me BEFORE your first item has been packed, as I would prefer not to have to unpack and repack items.
Please note that I never end auctions early, as it is not fair on other bidders. Anyone making such a request will automatically be added to my Blocked Bidders list, along with non-payers, those who repeatedly pay late or retract bids without good reason, and those who refuse to return feedback when requested.
In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with any item(s) you receive, please have the courtesy to contact me before having recourse to ebay's automated returns procedure. I offer a no-quibble refund, subject to the proviso above regarding the size of the garment, on all my items.
Finally, please do not be concerned if you do not hear from me immediately following the end of the auction, as I often have to work away from home for several days at a time.
POSTAGE AND PACKING CHARGES (INCLUSIVE OF INSURANCE) : UK £3.25, Europe £10.75, rest of world £11.75 (includes ebay surcharge).
