Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

I was absolutely convinced the they would go pretty high right from the start - but I still didn't expect them to go that high...

Big suits, big money. 3 of these suits are beauties. The grey herringbone is a particular favourite, as is the PoW check.

Big SIZES, big money.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

200 $ for a vintage suit in a big size is ok in my opinion. But of course it is much money at once.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

To be honest, the grey herringbone and the brown PoW check would have gotten top dollar whatever the size. I would imagine (because I've seen it happen before) each of those topping $250 even for a Sz36.

Following on from the 1930s Catalina shirt I posted above, the same seller had these, slightly more recent shirts in the same line:

Good point. In fact, I think that the suits in the "Holy Grail" thread would have fetched even more money had they been smaller in size. They would have attracted more bidders from Japan.

I pushed the boat out a little and bought this last week:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330584294153&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Arrived this morning and is beautiful - will get some better pictures posted in the suits thread in due course.

Interestingly, it had no back adjuster on the waistcoat so had to sew one in myself. It was unusual because the waistcoat was sized slightly larger than the jacket and there is no evidence of the jacket being taken in or the waistcoat let out...

June Carter's Cadilac?

Looks like the real deal, but the seller seems a bit shady. The car went for a low price for a 46 year old classic.Still in pretty good shape for it's age. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735413497&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Someone just got a stonking great deal on a late 30s BLUE Palm Beach suit.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180757358048?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

Yes. An unfortunate case --for the seller-- of a Palm Beach cloth suit that doesn't meet the masses' criteria (since it's not light-colored) and doesn't attract the hardcore enthusiasts (since it isn't double-breasted and/or doesn't have pleated pockets and/or a belted back, etc.).

 

[SteveAS]

Also, I'd think the 20.5" sleeve (plus 1.5" available for extension) would limit the pool of buyers considerably.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I would've thunk there were quite a lot of size 42 short stout vintage enthusiasts. There were certainly quite a few that would fit the bill from among the folks I knew in the US.

I was the one that bid it up to $53.93 … I was going to have it altered down. Beautiful suit.

Um ... this auction was on U.S. eBay too. In fact, the seller is located in Chicago.

See for yourself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180757358048?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&clk_rvr_id=287619396928

Yes ... but for things that can't be found on U.S. eBay, such as: www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Tweed-Shooting-Suit-/320796841119


Bespoke four-piece shooting suit: matching jacket, waistcoat, plus-fours, and flat cap. Size 42 L. Went for a very reasonable 258 dollars.
