eBay Universe (including Burkeville, VA)
Back in 1982 my dad purchased then-small Burkeville Body Shop in Burkeville, Virginia. A couple years after he was in business he had some t-shirts made with a small logo and a slogan. He would give these out to customers, friends, employees, family members, or anyone else who asked for one. I haven’t seen one of these shirts in probably 10 years.
Yesterday my dad called me and told me to go eBay, type in “burkeville” in the search box and then click on the first result. Well, I did this, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Apparently one of these shirts made its way out to California, and some guy there is selling it on eBay! Go see the VINTAGE BURKEVILLE BODY SHOP SUPER SOFT T SHIRT.
This is so crazy! Only a couple hundred of these shirts were ever made, and they were distributed in a town with a population of less than 500!
There ya have it, you can by anything on eBay.
