Does anyone know any online store that sells Pagan's Mind shirts? I've looked at all the places I know to look, but I am apparently not looking hard enough. Any help is appreciated.
Given the hypothesis floated by many here that the best way for underground metal bands to make money is selling T-shirts, it's surprising you are having a hard time finding anything that is supposed to sell so well.
e-Bay's typically where I go if all else fails. I've found some good hard to find shirts on there. There's a few seller's in particular who have lots of good metal shirts, but they don't always have the newest stuff. (Here's one seller I like, but I don't think he has any PM shirts - http://stores.ebay.com/DARK-ZONE-STORE) I have not seen a PM shirt in my searches, but I'll keep you posted if I do.Ebay didn't even have any.
Well, to be fair, most people who make the "merch buying" argument only say that it works at shows since you cut out the middle man. Buying through an online vendor doesn't cut out the middle man at all.
True, but buying directly from the band's website does cut out the middleman. Yet, obviously, not every band is taking opportunity of this income source. Perhaps they don't view the merchandise sales as being significant enough to warrant the trouble of sending out the T-shirts themselves, in which case they are more likely planning on music sales and not merchandise sales to keep their heads above water.
Sorry Patrick.
I'm not sure if this speaks for most band's sites or not since I usually don't purchase merch online, but when I have ordered items from a band's website, the band doesn't run the online store. Most band sites I have seen simply link you to a 3rd party company who takes care of their online stores for them. It would be a huge hassle for the band to have to take care of merchandise while they're on the road, so they just have someone else do it for them.
Sorry to hijack the thread Patrick, I'm sure nobody wants to see this turn into one of those arguments for the 25th time this month

Well at least I know that I wasn't just being a complete idiot about my searching if others are having just as hard of a time finding them. Thanks for the help!
What sizes, and types of shirts you looking for?
I feel fortunate! I own 5 different PM shirts!
