    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    I've waited years for something to appear in the marketplace used that I couldn't just order new. But the time between its appearance and my getting it is usually a lot less than six months. So it's a bit of a different situation. Whether or not the excitement lasts depends in large part on...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Getting a real person at PayPal and at eBay are both a lot easier now than they used to be. Typically the wait is less than 5 minutes. 15 years ago, it was a completely different story, with the path to contact a real human deliberately hidden, and grossly insufficient staff resulting in hold...

    If you own that jacket and you don't start a fight club, there's something wrong.

    eBay questions/discussion

    They do, or did, have a "second chance offer" option to give a second place bidder the option to buy if the winner backed out.

    eBay questions/discussion

    Ebay can't compel someone to do something they don't want to do. They have mechanisms to influence, but that's about it. They can assess listing fees, punishing the seller for canceling the sale. They rely on the Feedback system so that social pressure from users keep each other in check.

    That's a $1300 jacket new, and it looks like an older one judging by the label. You did amazingly well.

    WTB Suede Trucker/Type 3 Size 42

    I keep seeing older Aero Type 3 jackets on Yahoo! Japan auctions, and they are typically under $300, which I can't understand why they don't sell at that price. 42 is a bit uncommon in Japan, most are 36-40, but you will see them from time to time. Last year when I was on the hunt for a suede...

    Why won’t Anyone by this Taylor stitch leather jacket ??

    TS offers 20% on new orders, and 30% on clearance, sometimes more than that. Try asking $500, you may find your market.

    1960's Leather Jacket

    The guy in the back doesn't look like it the same jacket as the two at the counter to me. I don't see the breast pocket flaps on him. The gaming machines in the back look like some kind of pinball table.

    Easy way to tell the difference then. Good.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    There are some Schott models that have used a HH suffix, such as the 641HH. I don't know why Schott uses one or the other, it seems to be random. They currently offer the 641HH and the 689H, so it's not a matter of era. I suppose it could be a matter of era when it was originally introduced...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I must have missed that... what was it, did the old one use 696H and the new one 696HH?

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I hope you'll be back to report on how you like it when you receive it. Despite the poor customer service experiences reported by some who canceled their orders, I think Legendary has had a good reputation as a merchant for many years, and I would like to see them continue to succeed. I want...

    Lost/stolen item resurfacing: Is there anything I can do?

    Police won't "do" anything except take the report. And that's all you need them to do. The report establishes a documented "fact" that you asserted that the item belongs to you and was stolen from you. Which, it basically was. It was purchased by you, and then stolen from you when you did...

    Lost/stolen item resurfacing: Is there anything I can do?

    If you want the jacket, buy it while you can, and hope you get it. Possession is 9/10ths of the law. Once in your hands, make the scammer/thieves life hell by any legal means available. Buyer protection, charge back, police.

    Lost/stolen item resurfacing: Is there anything I can do?

    Buy them. Also report them stolen, file a police report, document everything from the original purchase. When they arrive open a claim or charge back or whatever, and state that you have recovered stolen property that belongs to you. Provide the police report to the merchant (or their...

    Langlitz Cascade Unfit compared with TWC at last and Real Mccoys Buco J-31

    Holy cow is that fit way off. It looks two sizes too big. And aside from the fit, it looks absolutely horrid. We've seen much better from Langlitz and it's difficult to believe that this came from them. Although I have personally seen some Langlitz jackets that didn't look nearly as good as...
