vintage polaroids...

one of the fun things about Ebay is that there is something for everyone!...during a recent search for a specific vintage photograph, I stumbled upon an obscure market that I didn't know existed...I'm not suprised, because if it is "out there" someone is going to for sure collect it...welcome to the world of Vintage Poloroid Photos...there are hundreds and hundreds listed on Ebay with prices ranging from $3.99 to nearly $20 each...with soooo many listings, there must be a market, and it appears to be a pretty big one...vintage Polaroid Cameras are collectible as well...the old 1960s and 70s Land Cameras such as "the Swinger" can fetch in the $10 - $30 range and the more recent Polaroid One Steps, from the 80s and in working condition seem to bring in about $50 to $100 (Mint in the Box)...moral of the story, "Don't Throw Anything Away"...Happy Hunting!

vintage Outer Space Hawaiian Shirt...


this incredible 1940s Hawaiian Style Shirt was offered on Ebay this past week by seller snappygabs...most of you who have been around the internet rag trade, a time or two, recognize Mr. Snappygabs as one of the premier buyers and sellers of uber-Rare Shirts and Jackets...this amazing shirt is no exception...the unreal  pattern (not to mention the even harder-to-find larger size) sent this vintage Loop-Top Rayon beauty clear into Outer Space...at "hammer-time" this crazy shirt knocked-off at $1225!...well done Mr. Snappygabs...
