Cheaper alternatives to Levis Vintage Clothing T-shirts

I am not embarrassed to say that I have a fetish for the recent Levis Vintage Clothing 1960s striped tee (seen above) because of its classically simple look that's firmly entrenched in early-to-mid 60s Ivy League/Surfer. As I'm more into the classic Ivy League/British 'Modernist' look of that era, I'm presently invested in stocking up on shirts with that style during the season. Problem is that 1) the actual shirt itself is well outside my price range and 2) there aren't alot of good derivatives as far as the I can see. The only exception is a white BDG tri-blend shirt I bought earlier this month which I like, but stuff this decent is hard to come by. Does anyone have a few suggestions?

I'm not sure about this but I think some auction sites feature shirts like this at a cheaper price... I doubt you'd be into that though... it's quite competitive. Penny auction sites could be a good source as well but from what I've read they don't seem like a good idea as well... But it might be good to try it out at least once. If the services are free that is. But what services are free these days?
