The Linen Suit with the Bullet Hole...?

Once again this suit is listed on eBay. This is the third or fourth time this suit has been listed and ostensibly sold. What's up with that? Does this guy have an infinite supply of linen suits with bullet holes?

What is prolly' happening is that the seller has a buddy that bids on the suit to raise the bids. If the buddy outbids genuine bidder and ends up winning the item the seller relists the item. That's pretty shady if you ask me.

Yep, shill bidding. Supposedly :rolleyes: , Ebay watches out for that but you see it all the time.

I don't understand the continued fascination with this suit. [huh]


.
No doubt part of the fascination is in the frequent offering of the same suit.
My interest lies in the magnanimous decision to sell it "here" (on Ebay) as opposed to getting so much more money "there" (Asia, or whereever the person claims they can).

More likely a large supply of linen suits and an infinite supply of bullets.:p

heh, I hope he would sell his large supply of suits without holes. All the bullets could be saved to rip oversized basketball shirts and sell those with gansta story.

Seller claims he could sell it in Asia and make a lot more money but wants to give it to Ebay buyers FIRST! Lapels are supposed to have what looks like leftover blood stains. By the way, hate the new Ebay look.

I wonder how much I could get for a hat if I took it out back and shot it once or twice. Linen suits with bullet holes are one thing, but how many can say they own a hat with a bullet hole (and no stains)? lol

True story: Several years ago, a friend of mine sold a pair of my dad's 1970s cowboy boots on eBay by claiming that they were haunted and had been the property of my now-deceased grandfather, a factory night watchman who had taken them off of a dead hobo. IIRC, we got $45 for them.
