Used band T-shirts in Exeter typically sell for £12 to £80 (about $16 to $110). Band tees are one of the strongest vintage clothing markets, and the gap between an original tour shirt and a modern reprint is enormous.
Selling a band T-shirt in Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
The university is large relative to the city and clears student housing every June, which is the dominant cycle. Outdoor and water equipment moves constantly given the moors and the coast either side.
The quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.
Exeter, in England, has around 130,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Exeter
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

What band T-shirts are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine period tour shirts with dated back prints
- Recognised tour and album artwork
What pulls it down
- Modern reprints sold as vintage, which buyers check closely
- Holes at the collar and underarms
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
- Photograph the neck tag and any copyright line at the hem. Those two details are how buyers date a shirt.
- Do not wash it hot. Shrinking or cracking the print destroys most of the value.
Photograph

- Any hole, stain or print crack, close up
Put in the description
- Tag brand and whether the hem is single or double stitched
- 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.
