BTW... I bet the site will get hammered with emails from people wanting to get to Stevie!

Thanks for the heads up on this, but damn, look at those ridiculous high prices!
I would rather save my money and use it towards new Stevie tickets to see her on tour (hopefully soon to a city near you). :)
Private reserve? He might have "reserved" or held back some shirts through the years to do this or he has the original art and had some redone. (one does say reprint) 300 dollars for a shirt?
The one deal that seems worth it is the Street Angel sweatshirt at 150 bucks.
I wonder what the whole "Think About It" is all about.
Chris' email is on his site, maybe we can all start emailing Chris about news/rumors of tours, cd releases, etc... since the official site is not a good source anymrore. ;)

I'm saving right now because you never know when she might come around here.
Back in 80's Chris was a good source for info but I don't think the email address is for info etc.

Not to mention that anything Chris designed looks like crap. That's the reason there are extras to sell in the first place.

How tacky....another way to make a buck off his sister's fame. I personally am not a fan of his. He can sell the stuff as it is his given right but he doesn't have to charge such astronomical fees if he really respected the fans and the artist who is his sister. Give us a break! JMHO.

I don't think there's anything wrong with selling the old stock at those prices, if in fact it is old stock, then the price is justified.... Plus, you know if he was selling them for 30 or 40 bucks a pop, ebay would be littered with them for sale at a higher price.
The tour books are at a pretty good price.

Wow that is tooo funny, I find it hilarious too!
To me it means: Either he's really on the skids again OR he knows something we don't know, about Stevie getting ready to sink into obscurity and he better sell his stuff NOW while he figures there's still interest in her :thumbsup:

$50 for a SYW tourbook?!?! I'm sorry but I do think these prices are crazy.
But one thing I can't help but wonder --is this some sort of an indicator that Stevie isn't planning to produce anymore? I mean we all know Chris has basically made a living living off her projects. Does his selling all this old merchandise signify that there aren't any upcoming projects for him to siphon cash off of? :laugh: :confused:
HejiraNYC
12-05-2006, 09:56 AM
Well, let's face it... with no new Stevie album covers to f*ck up or new Lucky Charms tour merchandise to "design," Chris has probably been twiddling his thumbs for the past year. Lori probably finally told him to put down the bong and get busy doing something useful, such as finally cleaning out his, er, Stevie's attic. He discovered these old relics and came up with the idea to sell them and price them so high that he would sell one or two a week without any effort whatsoever. That would be just enough money to pay for the ganja.
I think it would be better if Chris started selling those pre-loaded Stevie iPods (with Stevie's sig engraved on the back, perhaps) for, say, $1000 a pop, and donating the net proceeds to the Soldier Angel foundation.

I know Chris has designed stuff for Stevie and worked for her during tours, but this just strikes me as so freakin' weird--he's pretty blatant about wanting to make a quick buck off his sis. I wonder what Stevie thinks, if she even knows. Anyway, my perception of Chris really changed when I was provided a link for the pictures of my friend and I that were taken when we did the $500/ticket thing with the tour back in '04, and whatnot. Well, that link also has photos of Chris posted...hanging on other women. Yuck.

"That's a bummer about your sister, Man! Oh wait, she's appearing at Caesar's Palace tonight!"
That made me laugh SO hard today! Just the right thing to lighten my day. But to equally ruin it, I clicked on the CN site. PUH-LEASE! And whoever agrees that he ought to get those prices for stuff, not to offend you, but OMG, really????? I mean, if we sell it "slightly worn" shouldn't we get some money back? It's an old concert "T" not an Armani suit. I dunno, I mean, yea, if you want it, and it's vintage, it's gonna cost ya, but you know MAYBE $50-$80. But not $150 or more. IMO, he's so gaga gor cash, that he'll sell a few, take the site down, then come back 5 yrs. from now w/ dbl the prices.
At the technically last show for TISL, the KFOG show in SF, he was practically giving them away at WAY below cost. Crap part was that he wanted cash only. UGH! I had pd thru the arse for several shirts up to that point, then he offers for like a 3rd less, but no CC's! SUCKED, and now here he's UPPING the price of several of those TISL shirts. Takeing CC's now I betcha. Just seems so wrong. Solely my humble opinion as well. :confused:

But you would think Stevie would support him.
Maybe he wants to buy something really stupid that she won't pay for. A boat? An underage bride from Russia?

Those prices are outrageous and I say that as someone who has paid out of the ass on Ebay to get my hands on old tourbooks I wanted to copmlete my collection. Sure what he has is "new old stock" but they are so out of line with what the market will bear that I doubt he moves very many of them. He'd be so much richer if he'd just mark them down to a reasonable price that people would pay instead of trying to price-gouge. What a tool he is. I know you can't pick your relatives but boy did Stevie hit the loser-jackpot with this guy.

You can get the Say You Will tourbook cheaper at the FM site and through Fanfire (is that the name? Can't remember). Not that it's a great tourbook or anything but it's a hell of a lot cheaper there then it is through Chris Nicks' site.

That SYW tour shirt with the set list on the back just reminded me that I saw the same exact show 8 times during that tour. I didn't even really need to spend the money on the tickets, I could have just bought that shirt and have known exactly what they were going to play. It was written in stone... or in cotton, I suppose in this case.
The kicker is "set list subject to change." That's so charming.

Stevie's been seen in quite a few t-shirts over the years (although mainly in the 70s and 80s) including a couple of Mac ones, a Eagles tee and a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers one. The Buckingham Nicks website probably has the pics.
