Selling a band T-shirt in Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie is a coastal town that grew on retirement and holidays rather than industry, sitting where the river meets the sea. The population skews older and better settled than the surf towns further north, and the housing is largely owner-occupied.
Downsizing and estate clearances drive most of the supply, which means furniture that has been looked after in one home for a long time. Holiday-house turnover adds a second, more seasonal stream of household goods.
Everything is a short drive and the town is easy to park in outside school holidays, when it fills up considerably. Agreeing a weekday if you can is worth more here than in most places.
Port Macquarie, in New South Wales, has around 48,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Port Macquarie

What band T-shirts are worth
What lifts the price
- Single-stitch construction on the sleeves and hem
- Recognised tour and album artwork
What pulls it down
- Double-stitched hems on shirts claimed as older
- Cracked prints on newer shirts
Working out what yours is worth
- Check whether sleeve and hem stitching is single or double
- Look for a dated tour listing on the back print
Getting it ready
- Check for holes, particularly at the collar and under the arms, and hold it to the light to find thin patches.
- Do not wash it hot. Shrinking or cracking the print destroys most of the value.
Photograph

Put in the description
- Band, tour or album, and the year if the print or tag states it
- Tag brand and whether the hem is single or double stitched
Light and cheap to post worldwide, which matters because the buyer for a specific tour shirt may be in another country.
