...LOL... The seller is hoping someone is either crazy enough (or stupid enough) to buy a low-level piece of vintage denim for over $3000.00. Who knows, maybe he'll get it...??? We sell authentic Big E Levi's jackets (this isn't a Big E) for about $110.00 USD, but we only pick out ones with crazy patina...

well that's what i thought, i sold one just like it two weeks ago for $65, and that took some talking, so i wondered if there was something i had missed in my observations of vintage denim jackets over the last 40 years or so

You don't know how much the offers are! I suspect they are all under $100. As my mother used to say on selling, "you can always go down in price, you can't go up!"

 

[countryclubjoe]

I would think for that asking price the seller could of offered FREE SHIPPING. LOL

Ah the old dodgy, wishful thinking seller on eBay!

I've brought this up on the Lounge before but the one which still makes me laugh my head off is from a few years back where a chap had the "joystick" from a Sopwith Camel for sale for an astronomical price. And what did the photos show of said item?...

...a wooden chair leg!

Wish I'd copied the page as it was a bloody classic

Pity it's only a size 42, too small for me

 

[bburtner@moran]

At the thrift stores they bring about 20 bucks! I just bought a nice one a month ago.

This reminds me of a guy I new back in the early 80s, he owned a P-51D. Every year it would come up for sale for around $250,000, this was when you could buy a very nice one with spare Merlin for less then $120,000. I asked some one about it, they told me, when he needed a business lone, he would advertise it, then go to the bank and say see, I have plenty of collateral. Wouldn't work today, they would just google P-51 for sale!

asking ain't gettin'
if it was a reasonable buy, we wouldn't be seeing the link on ebay - it would have sold.
the only way to test value on ebay is to search closed listings that actually sold
