Why Are Some Rockabilia Items So Cheap — And Are They Real?

Rockabilia has been offering authentic, officially licensed band merchandise since 1987. Unless an item is clearly labeled as a Rockabilia Exclusive, we do not design, print, or manufacture the merchandise we sell.

All of the products we offer are created through official collaborations between the artists and their licensed manufacturers (merchandise companies, record labels, etc.). The artists and their partners select the designs, materials, fits, and printers — not us. Our role is simply to acquire and resell their authentic merchandise to fans at the best prices we can.

Our company philosophy has always been simple: “If it exists, we want to offer it.”

While many competitors focus only on current, high-volume designs, we search for the rare, forgotten, iconic, and discontinued pieces that music fans still care about. Almost every fan has lifelong memories tied to specific tours and shows — where they were, who they were with, and how the music made them feel. We exist to help keep those memories alive.

For decades, we have been approached by collectors and companies who have made a living buying and selling closeout merchandise from the music industry. These are people with decades of experience, relationships, and access to leftover inventory from concerts and retail store closures. This inventory includes discontinued items and liquidations from major retail chains. When they’re ready to sell, they come to us.

And that’s where our heavily discounted inventory comes from.

We purchase entire warehouses filled floor-to-ceiling with officially licensed merchandise — sometimes hundreds of thousands of pieces at a time (you can see examples in the photos on this page). Items include men’s and women’s shirts, sweatshirts, hats, patches, posters, pins, stickers, glassware, accessories, and more.

Most of this merchandise is no longer produced and unavailable through other retail channels.

Because we buy in massive quantities and directly from the source, we’re able to offer these items at extremely low prices. Yes, sometimes the prices look too good to be true — but they’re real.

Every item sold on Rockabilia is authentic and officially licensed. Period.

You’re not buying bootleg or counterfeit merchandise. You’re buying real band merch with real history — at closeout prices.
