It was an auction I posted on Ebay making fun of some of the auctions that were being held at that time. The shirt was like that because someone put up a "vintage Estes rockets t-shirt" for some absurd amount like $30. It was like a white undershirt with one of the Estes iron-ons on it. It had a hole in it, several stains and the owners name (Jeff) WRITTEN on the shirt (by a 5 year old probably) with a green magic marker... It did not sell.

You think that's bad, I have seen half-eaten cheeseburgers as well as actual dawg excrement for sale on ebay. They both actually had bids too.

Too bad this guy does not have the "Best Offer" option for this auction.
I'd offer him $39.98 PLUS a half-eaten RANCID Cheezburger, a half-consumed totally melted Cherry Slurpee, a case of well-aged steel-can BLATZ Beer, and a free copy of the Frantics "Boot to the Head" song made famous on the Dr.Demento show.
With the price of $3000 he either has TAKEN far too many "Boots To The Head", or NEEDS a good, firm "Boot To The Head" RITE NOW !
