Yea I always go on ebay after a show to see what supps/ shirts/ etc people put up on ebay. The best is when people collect all those FREE samples given out and then sell them on ebay for $$
Funny thing is... look at his listings (click on name, then check listings)
1.) One of them is the UNIVERSAL button, which if I am not mistaken, is one of the "Mystery Gift" items in certain products offered at THE BOX..
2.) He is also selling a doll collection, and an easter set..... hmmm..... to each his own I guess. #whatboothwherethoseat?

This is always the case with limited/rare merch... It ends up on eBay eventually. I was at a Bolt Thrower gig for Easter last year and their merch is only sold at gigs - 20 minutes after the merch booth opened up the first shirts were already popping up on eBay. ****s like that will always be there.
All we can do is live happy knowing that save for those few asshats, there are LOADS of people walking around now who are proud of the fact they made it and managed to score one of their shirts. They'll show their support and that's what matters.

It's shitty, it sucks, I'd not buy it on account that I like to know I actually went & got it in person. Yeah I rock my Animal beanie at the track when it's cold (it's always cold at the track) & my red Animal iconic, along with my black Animal shirt, all of which I purchased via the internet (but always brand new, from powerbody.co.uk), but I do have a certain added sense of pride when I'm cruising in my red Rage shirt from last year's BodyPower, black Rage shirt from the year before, & a huge sense of pride with my ABC shirts.
All that aside, you do have to admire the entrepreneurial spirit here. I'd not sell any of my Animal gear unless it was very, very drastic but at the Expo last year I also came away with 3 free shirts from other supp companies that I gave away as gifts the very next day.
Fortunately I'm not in financial dire straights, but if I was then I'm sure I'd have maybe said of those other 3 shirts "Want this shirt for a couple of quid?" to somebody, & kept my Animal gear.
Maybe the guy's got his own favourite shirts, maybe he's loyal to another brand & rocks their shirts everywhere whilst selling the free stuff from others.
It's still a shitty thing to do though, but let's rise above it. Whoever lines his pockets might be contributing to a fund for his kids' birthday present, & at the same time will maybe start to look into the Animal range a bit deeper, especially with the item being LE, & boom! A new member.
I'd love it if the eventual buyer found their way here. Think of those items as being messages in bottles, tossed into the sea, containing directions to help the recipient to find their way home.
True, Sprint... And to add... He's not the ONLY one doing it on eBay... I think it's just because our stuff means so much to us that this guy is being ridiculed... My thing is, there were many that DID NOT get a shirt and are members of the Legion... I just hate to see them have to pay...
I know I grabbed a couple patches for one of my students that couldn't make it this year (but he also sent me with $80 to buy stuff for him) and another fella that couldn't afford the trip... I, myself, wouldn't sell my stuff... It all means too much to me (but then again, I've been called "a little obsessed" about Animal from time to time...pssshhaaaa, as if....lol)

Whenever I get a free shirt with a can of whatever I save them. I had a few and asked in my Journey awhile back if anyone wanted them and BOOM, just mailed them out. I would never dream of selling them even though I couldn't wear them.

You know to sell something for more, you have to put "limited edition" on it...despite the number made...Like the Jeep Cherokee "Limited Edition" even though there are 90 billion of those stupid things...
im with the other guys, kinda a shitty thing to do...but hey take pride in knowing our hat sold for 66.00. someone who wil pay that for an animal hat will certainly wear it with pride!!!
