1920s/1930s Country suit (in Keeper's Tweed)

[Two Types]

This is rather distinctive:

the suit has lots of fine details:

Nice piece.

 

[Tomasso]

Interesting rig. Quality cloth and make, in pristine condition. I wonder how much it will fetch.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Spectacular. Pity about the length of the jacket.

 

[herringbonekid]

nice suit. i can't quite picture how it would look on, with the long jacket.

I wonder how much it will fetch.

good condition and/or rare suits are regularly going for around £350 - £400 ($665) on ebay UK these days. e.g:

I have just noticed that the seller has listed the suit twice:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...ues_Other_RL&hash=item56608bfdc9#ht_386wt_959
The second listing has a BIN price of £800.
Good luck on that!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

So it's very clear for a prospective buyer. If the bid on the auction goes over £800, BIN for £800 from the other listing.

I'm sure eBay will jump on this. Very didgy.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, "didgy", what of it?

Keeeeeeerrrryyyyst, EDIT function please. This lack of edit serves no ******n function. honestly.

 

[herringbonekid]

the £800 BIN one was listed about two weeks ago, so he's decided to try a low starting bid auction.

i doubt there's any devious didgyness afoot. probably just slap happy.

 

[Nobert]

All I know is that, if at all possible, I'm going to try and incorporate the word "didgy" into my vocabulary. To what purpose or usage, I'm not sure yet. But some opportunities come from unexpected angles.

I agree! It is very tedious posting in this section.

Perhaps we should organize as a group and petition management.

With two days left, the price is up to £186. I think it will go a lot higher.

Five hours left and up to £320.

(If we had an Edit function, I could have just edited my previous post)

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I predict this suit will be ended unless it gets closer to £800. I also predict the seller will have a shill push it up there.

Call me a cynic.

 

[herringbonekid]

i predict a winning bid of about £420.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

6 unique bidders so far. Could get spicy in the last seconds as the big boys join the chase.

 

[Two Types]

Since we are predicting, I'll go for £480.

 

[Fastuni]

Not a bad guess... £460 it is!
