notice all the Tapout shorts on ebay

BucksNHB · 07-01-2008, 01:10 PM

i have been noticing a ton of the same TAPOUT shorts being sold on Ebay by random sellers, mostly stores that are consignment shops. check it out, there is quite a few Matt Hughes Signature series shorts, the all blue shorts with the red stripe on 1 leg, and the blue/black/red shorts. i guess that Tapout got rid of some old inventory because any of these 3 styles are-not on their web site anymore.

does anyone know the reasoning behing these styles of Tapout shorts being sold on ebay. especially the Matt Hughes style, they haven't even been listed on the Tapout web-site for a long time. thanks

Maybe it has something to do with the tapout warehouse sell not to long ago and all the people who bought stuff are starting to sell it off.

Or maybe they're knockoffs. TapOut and UFC brand knockoffs are all over Canada.

Yeah I see them in Convenience stores.

Mainly because they arent selling and Tap Out has a shit load of them sold at discounted prices.

maybe because people have realised they sucked and are trying to raise money for sprawls

have you given that some thought

I am in the business, and I have a ton of other companies in the business calling and emailing me trying to wholesale me their Tapout inventory. I'm guessing that the fightwear sites like me are having a hard time selling it against Champs and the other big retailers. Plus, in my opinion, they have become much more of a main stream brand so fighters are not wearing them anymore. Personally, I think it is only a matter of time until someone like Nike buys them and totally destroys it.

I just noticed most of the ones people are trying to sell for 30+ are the ones Ross has for about 15.99.

They maybe selling the Matt Hughes one's because he wears One More Round shorts now.

There are a lot of knockoffs on e-bay too... be aware... if it doesn't look like a legit item, it may not be. TapouT has a lot of discontinued items and so do their retailers... so it's VERY likely that people are getting them for $15-$20 and trying to capitalize on the retail price and make $10-$20+ on them.
