So, I’ve been looking for a David Bowie shirt for a really long time, but all of them are either mediums or when I find a small, it’s really expensive.
So I was talking to my friend about why she thinks his merchandise is all so expensive, and she said that it’s because he’s a legend and he’s retired now.
So I said what about The Beatles, they don’t play as a band anymore but their shirts are so cheap. She didn’t have an answer

So, R&P, why do you think David Bowie shirts are so expensive?

MQ: Favorite Bowie song?
MQ2: Favorite Bowie..?

supply and demand… the people willing to get a bowie shirt are willing to pay more. its cool to like the beatles (which doesnt quite give them the credit they deserve,) so if they sell shirts cheap everyone in the world will buy them. Bowie is less popular, the people who want one of his shirts will pay more for them.
this is my theory,

MQ: probably Suffragette City, the whole album Rise and Fall is great.
MQ2: Favorite Bowie… Persona! Ziggy Stardust. IMO Bowie was best between Hunky Dory and Station to Station, but Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Diamond Dogs really took the cake

   I thought David Bowie sold the rights to all that stuff back in ‘97 to some company for a ton of money. So this company is trying to recoup their investment by charging the highest price they think they can get away with.

   MA: Let’s Dance
   MA2: album cover is Aladdin Sane.
