I Bought A $4,800 Mystery Box: Vintage Band Tees Galore!

[@RALLIROOTS]

Update: The seller of the 2nd box ended up taking care of me thankfully :) $800 refund and $600 more in product, he was very fair and willing to make it right.

[@JenelArt]

That's good... seems like it wasn't was it was supposed to be...

[@michaelchristenson7840]

Mystery boxes are always fun. Hey you guys be safe during these crazy storms coming 👍👊🤝😎

[@CrèmeFraîche88]

That penny and Shaq shirt is probably all around one of the dopest shirts I've ever seen.thats my favorite duo of all time and Penny is my 🐐

[@closrod8856]

Back in 94, I won a package, through our local radio station KROQ. It was a Soundgarden Superunknown backpack, the CD, a poster, 2 tickets to their show, some keychains, and that exact shirt. It was a Large, so it didn’t fit me. I ended up giving it to my brother. My brother still owns it. Gonna have to get it back from him. 😂

[@nealo6488]

Good collection. I’ve had some of these before. I’m glad you show how to test for dry rot. One buyer told me a tee I sold them had dry rot, I had a back and forth about it not having it when I had it etc. he sent it back and it didn’t he straight up just tore it. His arguement was “if it tears, it has dry rot”😅 I could toe a truck with it!

[@BigDirtDawg]

That skid row slave to the grind tee is 🔥. Underrated imo. Skid row tees in general actually. It sucks the tags are cut out on most of this

[@Debi-1220]

Ryan, your knowledge amazes me.Great video.

[@RALLIROOTS]

I appreciate that! :)

[@whocare7554]

The 1st box was insane

[@eddiehewitt5529]

Interesting vid - cheers Ryan! Great that you show the fails/challenges as well - helps us learn with you 👍

[@L-Jay1147]

I really appreciate and enjoyed seeing the comps thank you for all the extra work 😊❤

[@RALLIROOTS]

No problem 😊 I enjoyed doing it

[@neoanderson726]

I did the math on that last box based on your comps and you did not even break even not to mention taxes, fees , packing materials,

[@RALLIROOTS]

Correct, read my pinned comment

[@benjaminrquick846]

That first box was 🔥🤘🏻! That good the 2bix guy made right by you. A bs move like that could really take somebody down REAL QUICK. Cool vid!

[@mark-oc2lx]

Honestly, mystery boxes are a gamble but 2,000 for that is kind of ridiculous. Definitely 600 tops..

[@RALLIROOTS]

He ended up taking care of me thankfully :) $800 refund and $600 more in product.

[@andydeans8524]

This just shows how scummy the original seller must be. He’s sorted you out, simply due to the negative exposure, however if it was as a ‘normal’ person who ended up purchasing the box…. Just shows the original intention. Obviously knew the product was worth a third of what he was asking for it

[@RALLIROOTS]

@@andydeans8524nah, not true at all. He’s an honest seller who made a mistake and corrected it. He didn’t even know I was making a vid. Hence why he wasn’t mentioned.

[@adammonahan687]

​@@RALLIROOTS how's that a honest mistake though? Doesn't the seller know exactly what he's putting in there before sending it?

[@themediamarauder1582]

@@RALLIROOTS Sad part is if it would have been a small youtuber they probably wouldn't have given anything back. Don't know how someone could even think that box was worth anywhere near $2000 .. Sad

[@suejohnson5794]

Surprised at the prices thought most of the ones you showed on 1st box would be 200 plus. Still learning great video

[@damiansnow8468]

That first box is a win. I don’t think the second box was worth it that much.

[@bbean222]

If it's not currently dry rot, but you know it's new/not washed, do you wash it to ensure it doesn't dry rot later? Or is it in the clear to not get dry rot?

[@RALLIROOTS]

I’d wash it. Yea

[@andydeans8524]

First box has some excellent product. Second box not so much. The prices you show help the viewer ascertain potential value however what it doesn’t show is the length of time you would have to sit on that stock. Those tee’s 2010 and newer will take months and months to sell if you want top dollar. Of course, I know you are aware of this

[@RALLIROOTS]

You’re absolutely right! Very true, time is a massive consideration.

[@BFKforLifeforForver]

I went to that Creed show in Raleigh last week, good show.

[@PhenomenalPhindsATL]

Pantera is one of the bands that Metallica is touring with in that stadium tour!

[@nobetter7747]

i picked up that white ozzy tee recently for $50 off a og owner on my local market place.

[@SRBTeam]

Wondering how you ship more expensive T-shirts? Ground Advantage only $100 insurance…right? You sell a lot of awesome T-shirts!! Thank you for any help. Hope ya’ll are good with storms.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Hey there :) for more expensive shirts we always ship usps priority mail with signature required at delivery

[@jeremyc6188]

Hope you are doing okay with the hurricane down there!

[@Mysteryshopperr]

I couldn't imagine what would happened if a normal buyer or someone who isnt a social media influencer bought the mystery gift off of the second seller who sold you that box. Things woulda been bad, the intentions were really clear, those t-shirts you couldn't even break even or wouldn't sell half of the cost back. Not to mentioned the dry rots.

[@bionance]

hello - quick question o t-shirt guru: i have the first vintage t-shirt in a series of mtn. bike t-shirts from my town - which is known for mtn. biking - how on earth do i price it? any hints? thank you!

[@OhmegadJT]

So the mystery box is only a mystery to the buyer, not the seller? Him charging $2000 for that is insane even if those couple pieces weren’t dry rotted but hey, glad he made it right.

[@colinnewman6570]

Remember when Finger Eleven was Rainbow Butt Monkeys? Quiet little group out of Burlington ON Canada.

[@kafka6192]

Been waiting for ages for unboxing......

[@DeLoisCarroll]

With the dry rot, maybe 1800.00. No profit there, my friend.

[@smokindragon04]

Wow so informative ❤second box a big fail😢

[@k0dyw1thaK]

Your Magic shirt is sick

[@RALLIROOTS]

Thank you 😊

[@cameroncreech4232]

Ricky craven? The autograph shirt

How can we see your resell items?

Our eBay store is linked in the description

[@theoreotux]

I HATE the second box for you, but selfishly, it was nice to see a fail finally. I appreciate your willingness to show this because my overall experiences with mystery boxes have been negative. That 2000 $ box was a joke. That should have been 500-1000 max.

[@skyman2968]

Hi Ryan, can you tell me the name of the person who does your thank-you cards? I'll be sure to tell them you sent me.

[@RALLIROOTS]

We use printfast.com

[@JohnFAME5000]

Awesome

[@colinnewman6570]

Thumbs up and subscribed.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Forebearsgoods]

Damn 2k i can do better than that....if only i wasn't a hoarder 😂😂

[@SteveHanke-h3s]

you don't have to lie to kick it bro. You knew about the Living Dead shirt. You said you didn't know anything about that box. come on man LOL

[@RALLIROOTS]

… 👌🏻

[@irishdesor2203]

Hello I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭,

[@foodchaser716]

If something religiously sells on ebay for $2200....If I bought the same item for $1600 would I be in the green for profit if I sold it or no?

[@RALLIROOTS]

You’d net around $300 yeah

[@neoanderson726]

are you guys safe ?

[@DeLoisCarroll]

Lighting is incredibly dim.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Bump it up on your computer :)

[@kelvingavin9519]

Next time you rob ryan, at least wear ski mask.

[@yoh1960]

Return the second box

[@Thrifterchic]

Second box was a scam I hope you can get some money back

[@thriftdadvintage]

I can do a better box!!! 😩

[@trubullyzzeusfam1546]

Tell me why you look like luke😂

[@RALLIROOTS]

Luke?

[@cyndifairburn4014]

You over paid for the small box for what he sent you.
