Used band T-shirts in Hervey Bay typically sell for A$23 to A$155 (about $16 to $110). Band tees are collected, not just worn, and the value sits in the tag and the print — a genuine tour shirt is worth many times a modern reprint of the same design.
Selling a band T-shirt in Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is a retirement and holiday town on a sheltered stretch of water, best known for whale watching and as the crossing point to the sand island opposite. The population skews considerably older than the national average, and the second-hand market reflects that in both directions.
Downsizing drives the supply here more than anything else. People moving into smaller homes or into care put good, well-maintained furniture and boating equipment onto the market, often the whole house at once.
Everything is a short drive and parking is easy, which makes this an unusually simple place to arrange a handover. For a boat or trailer, agree where it can actually be hitched and turned before the day.
Hervey Bay, in Queensland, has around 55,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What band T-shirts are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine period tour shirts with dated back prints
- Natural fading and softness consistent with age
What pulls it down
- Modern reprints sold as vintage, which buyers check closely
- Cracked prints on newer shirts
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for a dated tour listing on the back print
- Photograph the tag, stitching and print clearly
Getting it ready
- Photograph the neck tag and any copyright line at the hem. Those two details are how buyers date a shirt.
- Check for holes, particularly at the collar and under the arms, and hold it to the light to find thin patches.
Photograph
- The back print if there is one, particularly tour dates
- The neck tag and the hem copyright line, both legible
Put in the description
- Tag brand and whether the hem is single or double stitched
- Pit-to-pit and length laid flat, since vintage sizing runs small
Band, tour or album, year and size: “Metallica 1991 Black Album Tour T-Shirt, Single Stitch, Size L”. “Single stitch” is a term collectors search for and it signals a pre-2000s shirt. Never claim vintage without evidence — photograph the tag and let buyers date it themselves.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
