Hi Tom, I'm glad that I didn't bid on the shirt. I did see it and was going to but change my mind. After the auction closed I emailed them and ask if they would be getting any more, he return my email and said it would cost me $15.00 for the shirt and $6.00 for shipping. I'm going to forward this email to you so you can have some ammunition when you deal with him. Why should it be cheaper to buy direct then to get it from the auction? If I can help anymore just let me know.
