I like how honest his listing is.

"I know it's a lot, but I'm in no hurry to sell. Maybe you can find it for less in Japan." I appreciate that frankness

Yes. Also interesting if he's on TFL he does not want to sell here, opting to pay Ebay fees instead. I think selling here to an established member is less risky than Ebay.
If you can buy from a Lounger, its always a win win. Seller avoids fees, Buyer avoids fees (aka TAXES). In general, people are more realistic about pricing too. No wacky ass $75 dollar shipping shenanigans feebly trying to outfox the sales platform. I feel like both parties are more conscientious too having been on both sides. Another reason why its so puzzling for certain Sellers to have burned this bridge over stupid things that could and should have been talked out and settled. Not saying I don't buy from the platforms---but I always check the FL Classifieds at least as often as I check in on any other searches I may have going.

Agreed, and actors are people too, but it’s probably a bit different if your face airs on CBS every week. And the Saving Private Ryan royalty checks still clear. Just makes it easier.

If you’re out there, Mr. Goldberg - I’m a fan

Sz 46 Cal (with button cuffs) - $275 Bin
View attachment 519917
I really like this one. It looks real heavy and has great patina with no obvious signs of permanent damage. Best of all it has button cuffs, CHPs with button cuffs are the coolest in my opinion. Price isn't bad either.
Damn this is my size too. I also like the button cuffs. That being said, my relatively modern Cal (that I got from you, no less) is an absolutely perfect fit for me and in better wearable condition.

It looks great on you too! Definitely much better condition than this one.
