That seller is very familiar -- a forum member, or just a long-time eBay seller?

Nice lookin' piece, but them shoulders is jest too narrow.

I wonder if it is someone on the forum trying to thin the herd

 

[Tattoo A2]

That jacket has been on ebay for a while,,, never big enough.

Don't know, just know the seller's handle is somehow familiar.

Looks pretty nice

 

[blackrat2]

Yeah that and his Perry have been up for sometime now, the Dubow is nicer than the Perry and more solid

I'm a little bit floored by the asking price on that G&F M-422A. $1400? For that price, I'd expect it to be patched up, and have the name of the original pilot on its name plate. It doesn't even have its original liner.

"Correctly refurbished by Steve Sellers..."

Maybe we can get some first-hand input.

I was looking at the asking prices on originals on eBay earlier today, and I think these prices are chancer prices as @Micawber would say. I am glad I bought my original A-2 in 2005. At today's prices I am out of the buying market. One original that I don't wear is enough.

Fair point - still a high price for an M-422A.

Oh, not questioning that -- just wondering if Sellers has any information about the jacket (or seller, for that matter).

If he does I’m sure he wouldn’t disclose any info about his customers, nor should he .
It’s all private information. To do that would be like BK doing what was discussed in the other thread .

But what if it's good feedback?

It’s still private info and doesn’t feedback usually come from the person purchasing the service or item?

Well, I wasn't expecting a full resume disclosure like the BK debacle (just read the updated thread), just feedback on an eBay dealer -- but really more about the jacket offered than anything.
