1. Depop

Depop has 800K AU users, mostly 16–26. Trendy and vintage clothing, Gen Z market. That lines up with band tees (vintage) because the buyer profile matches the typical band tees (vintage) buyer.

Seller fees sit at 10%. 10% commission applies to AU sellers. US and UK sellers pay 0% (seller fee removed late 2024).. No prepaid labels in Australia. self-arrange via Australia Post or couriers. Most AU sellers charge $10–$12 for standard items, $12–$15 for bulky pieces. Baking postage into the item price improves conversion.

Sourcing Band Tees (Vintage)

Where you source affects your margins as much as where you sell. Op shops, garage sales, and vintage markets. Check the construction. single stitch hems mean pre-1993ish, which significantly increases value. Look for Winterland, Screen Stars, and Hanes Beefy-T blanks. Australian tour dates on the back add AU-specific collector appeal.

Flat lay showing the full front and back print. Close-up of the tag, stitching (single vs double), and any cracking or fading on the print. Measure across the chest and length. vintage tees run boxy. Good photos are the difference between a scroll-past and a sale, regardless of platform.

Pricing Band Tees (Vintage)

Single stitch band tees from the 80s sell for $80-500+ depending on the band and design. Nirvana, Metallica, and Iron Maiden are consistently strong. 90s double-stitch tees from $30-150. Australian tour tees with local dates are a niche but passionate market. Always check sold listings on each platform before setting your price. The same item can sell for different amounts on different platforms because buyer expectations vary.

Factor in platform fees when comparing prices. A $100 sale on a platform charging 10% leaves you with a different take-home than a $95 sale on a platform charging 9%. Run the numbers before deciding where to list first.
