Poughkeepsie A2 at a stupid price

[Roughwear]

Being sold by a dealer in Japan. Only a fool would pay $7000 for it. The seller also has modern painted repro A2s up for sale at mad prices too.

yup, duly noted. his pricing is %50-%60+ over fair value. however, it doesnt hurt to try, i reckon.

I presume you are talking about the painted repros Vic. The two originals 7x to 9x over priced IMO.

i sent a message to the seller, asking if he could tell me where to get some of what hes smoking......no answer. maybe the question doesnt translate well.

 

[Roughwear]

Good one Vic. Perhaps he is too high to reply at the moment!LOL

 

[Nicolas]

Maybe you have to pay the seller, to get an answer? For your message. Laugh.

 

[Roughwear]

Yes more A2s at insane prices from this same guy.

Just look at the horrid green knits on this original A2!

I got this response from him when I asked why his prices were so high.

I am sorry we are just representing the consignment of our clients on their behalf who set the prices and waiting for the right buyer who wish to pay them and willing to work out things with our end clients.

If not, let us just say we are parading them til we find the right buyer.

Just got a second message from the seller.

Sorry we dont mean to put everybody off but sorry, we are also in business and here to serve the right client for us. Beauty and prices maybe subject to the eye of the beholder and that is just our view, if that is not ok with other people who share your views, that is just fine. It is not a perfect world for everybody we guess and we are not here to please everybody as well. But to our clients, we are just serving them with premium service and everything in our capacity.
