Used band T-shirts in Geelong 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 Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
Manufacturing decline left a deep pool of good tools in private hands, and the university turns student households over annually. Commuter families moving down from Melbourne add a steady stream of furniture in both directions.
The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
Geelong, in Victoria, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Photograph
- The neck tag and the hem copyright line, both legible
- Any hole, stain or print crack, close up
Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and length laid flat, since vintage sizing runs small
- Print condition and every hole or thin patch
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.
