What is a pristine Eastman Roadstar worth?

[deeds]

Was gifted an Eastman Roadstar that is pristine. Well, it was "left for me" thinking that i am much bigger than i am. I'm a 42 and its a 46. Do these go for much? worth trying to resell it? its in black leather.

It all depends on the condition of the jacket. Here is the cost of a new one

They're around, what, £1200-1300 new?

You can probably get about $900-1000 if it's new, but if you want a quick sale expect it to fetch $600-750.

Immediate sale, less than that.

I (fairly) recently bought a black size 44 in excellent condition for $650. I would offer you the same amount for your 46.

So you would you sell your 44 for same price ?

Do they make that model still?
Does anyone stock there jackets. I want a size 40

My 44 is currently with Dena getting a new two way main zipper so the amount that I have invested in it is going up a bit (haven‘t gotten the bill yet). Usually I just try to break even on any sales I do here at the Lounge. If I’m able to get the 46, I’ll try them both and keep the better fit of the two. The Roadstar has generous shoulders a fairly dramatic taper. I could find that the 46 is a little big.

If we’re really talking “pristine”, I think a bit more than half price is reasonable. We’re all friends here, right?!

Somebody else may be able to afford more. That was just my ceiling on this jacket (sight unseen) based on the eBay bidding and end price of my own 44. Don’t worry, Is the rule on here you only give “friends“ deals but never get one?

I wasn’t attacking you. To offer a “deal”, one should first have a notion of value as in market price.

Sorry if I got defensive. My take on a couple of the comments was that I was lowballing him on his jacket.
