I'm not disagreeing, but unless I'm picking stuff up at a gig, I tend not to buy anymore when I used to buy constantly.
I usualy get all my band stuff at gig cause none of the shops sell anything like that anymore. I getting a t-shirt and a puppet in London hope the puppets don't get sold out ^-^
That's always the best way to do it, for sure. When I was living in Colorado, the are in which I lived was a little remote, so ordering online was pretty much all I did for anything you couldn't find at Walmart. I kind of became accustomed to things like shipping charges and such.
It was nice to actually go to a Dev show and buy a shirt and a couple of puppets. Dev's merch prices are resonable at the venues. I remember back in the 90's some of the big bands were charging $35 - $40 for t-shirts at the venues, and the quality was shit! Metallica! Yes, you! I am looking in your direction!
I still have every tour shirt I've ever purchased. I had a girlfriend for a while that had this great idea of turning my old shirts into quilts and throw-pillows, but she never got around to it. I still like that idea, though. Someday I'll either learn to do, or have someone do something like that for me.
