Some Dudes Love Purple II

By b. murphy | Published 12/01/2010

Morgado posted up Some Dudes Love Purple Part I yesterday. Here I present to you, Part II, courtesy of xbohnx. Lets just say, in a purple war, Judge would always win. In fact, I’m not sure what purple shirt this hood would defeat. Granted, I’m a Set Your Goals fan, but … wow … what the fuck is going on here? Is that an abominable snowman? My mind is blown. I know 30 year old men aren’t their key demographic, but I’m not sure who this shirt appeals to. Also Orrington, Maine is really, really, really far away. UME Orono student??

Just a few Buy It Nows to get us rolling today…

Ebay seller braceconscious was kind enough to hit us up on twitter and let us know he has some cheap BINS up for grab. Nothing earth shattering here, but you might be able to grab something interesting on the cheap. Feel free to hit us up @teetilldeath if you find or are selling something we might be interested in.

Tip: Selling In Lots

By b. murphy | Published 08/17/2010

Lots are tricky business. They can either be a great way to unburden merch fast or a lazy man’s cheap out. If you are looking to unload a stack of tees, have a deadline to sell and can’t be bothered listing a ton of items, lots could be your best bet. But there’s a catch. Just because you list 14 tshirts, doesn’t mean you are going to get at least $140 in return. Oh hell no. Most kids are cheap. Fuck, I’m a cheap bastard, I know how this works. No kid is really interested in all 14 items (hardly ever) and doesn’t really want that chintzy Up Front tshirt in the pile (especially when quality originals are available). So most times, selling in lots barely ever benefits the seller. But buyers love them. It’s a great way to get a stack of tees for $50.

There is a way to make lots work out BETTER for you the seller, though. Take clear pictures. Just because you are lazy doesn’t mean you can get away with one picture of 45 shirts. That won’t cut it. It definitely won’t cut it at your bottom line either. So clear pictures are key. Also key? Descriptions of each shirt. You can’t expect a buyer to pick out there favorite shirt in a pile of 50 if you don’t call it out by name. Also, ebay doesn’t keyword search your image. No one will stumble on your Earth Crisis lot if you don’t specifically mention the keywords “Earth Crisis.” It’s as simple as that.

So lets rate the lots from bitterseth. How’d he do? I say he gets a solid 80 out of 100. His descriptions mention all the bands and describe the tees. His pictures aren’t terrible, but they aren’t stellar either. It’s really hard to gauge the condition of these tees from the pics. BUT, I’ll give him extra credit for this line, “Bid hard and pretend half of these bands didn’t deteriorate into total garbage.” You determine what bands he is talking about …

Set Your Goals Tee For a Grown Ass Man

By b. murphy | Published 02/12/2010

The last time Set Your Goals hit Worcester, Mass (Gig Life Tour, I do believe), I asked Matt if they had any tees a “grown ass man” could get away with wearing.

Two things.

1. Yes, I enjoy Set Your Goals. Obviously, not strictly hardcore. But I can hang with their style. Plus, dudes are chill.

2. According to M. Pike, anyone with a mortgage or children is a “grown ass man.” Actually, his definition is probably more accurate than that but those parameters convey my point.

So I asked Matt if they had any shirts for me, a “grown ass man.” Matt assured me that they did, and that I would approve of the selection.

This shirt is probably not appropriate for a grown ass man.

Now, while it’s cool, this shirt is probably not appropriate either.

Sadly, I couldn’t find an actual picture of the tee, but it did have this print on it.

Bo Jackson, Ball Player. I can dig it. Definitely an acceptable graphic for me a grown ass man to wear. Thanks Matt. Thanks SYG.

Oh and yeah.

Set Your Goals Elephant Skin Logo

By b. murphy | Published 12/30/2009

Set Your Goals. San Francisco Pop Punk.

Hardcore dudes, good times.

Something about this tee spooks me though. It’s not the upside down Jordan logo, mind you. It’s the elephant skin crackle. It could be the bootleg crackle. It really looks bootleg. Sort of funny.

Get into it.

Set Your Goals – Mutiny Sweatpants

By b. murphy | Published 10/03/2009

I’m a fan of Set Your Goals. I’m not going to pretend to be all macho and say, “psshhh, not for me.” Nah, I’m a fan. Good dudes, as well.

BUT

These sweatpants are the JANKIEST items I’ve ever seen. It’s like they were a complete after thought. Like a tee was developed and someone threw some sweatpants on the press when no one was looking. Worst cross of Juicy and Hardcore I’ve ever come across. Yuck.
