#I don't understand people trying to pass that stuff off as vintage and worthy prices OVER 20 dollars

This happened a few days ago now, but I'm still thinking about it so gonna complain about it on main <3
Went to this local flea market. Lots of clothes and stuff being sold in stands. I don't usually expect to buy something, especially since a lot of stuff is by re-sellers and the prices can go up, but I like to look at the stuff regardless. I came up to this stand with a bunch of really cool printed T-shirts of bands/licensed properties. I remember seeing them some months ago, and I thought to myself, "oh if they have a Beavis and Butt-Head T-Shirt that would be cool. I'd probably buy it." They had one from last time, but even though I liked the design I couldn't convince myself to get it on account of a mysterious stain on it. No clue if that will come off (of-course it was on a beavis and butt-head t-shirt).
Anyway, I find another shirt that looks good! It is kind of faded, but that is chill. It is second-hand of course. I read the tag as $5.00 and thought "oh that makes sense!" I go up to the woman to pay and then she informs me that the tag actually says $65.00!! I was like "UM no thanks!!" That is WAY out of my price range for any SINGLE used-T-shirt. She says "sorry. It is vintage". Flash forward to later and I think about it more and I get PEEVED, because not only is selling a faded, used beaver and butthole T-shirt for $65.00 RIDICULOUS on any account, but to claim that it is VINTAGE?? GIRL THE LOGO ON THAT SHIRT WAS CLEARLY FROM THE 2011 RUN OF THE SHOW??? IS 2011 "VINTAGE" NOW??? IS THAT WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THIS???
#fuck resellers fr#who in their right mind is paying 65 dollars for a beavis and butthead tshirt#who are these resellers marketing towards??#are you trying to tell me a beavis and butthead fan can afford to buy a SINGLE used shirt for 65 dollars#absolutely godsmacking#I bought another shirt from this person last time it was 15 dollars but idk that is reasonable I think#with certain clothing I can get it being pricey like furs and leather products and nice well-made jackets#but RARELY are shirts ever that complicated to make and are usually completely worn down by people in a matter of years#I don't understand people trying to pass that stuff off as vintage and worthy prices OVER 20 dollars#leather jacket? sure I get it a cow died#well-made sweater? yeah sure that stuff can last decades#t-shirt with printed design? that is literally nothing clothing#anyway vent over#resellers out there please try and explain this logic to me I legitimately would love to hear it#squack
