The Original WWII A2 Areo on ebay That Won't Sell?

[WW2 Buff]

I like this Original WWII Areo A2 jacket that is for sale on ebay with the squadron patch and name tag (however, I do not want to buy it). I don't know about the patch? This A2 jacket has been offered on ebay for what seems to me to be a long period of time, and hasn't sold. The seller seems to be knowledgeable and has excellent feedback. He gives an excellent description, and supposedly, he knows some of the history of the jacket and perhaps the wearer. I don't think the seller did himself any favors by posting the crunched out of proportion photos. I'm surprised the jacket hasn't sold. What are your opinions gentlemen?

Just my own guess, but maybe price to condition and size keeping bidders away?

Gonna take some extra cash to refurbish the lining and knits... as most collectors tend to do.

A couple of quick thoughts .
1. Original jackets aren’t for everyone. Expensive , not always in the best condition. And as it was said before but worth repeating, investing in original jackets that you can only see photos of and not hold in your hands …..Is like stepping into a dark pool of water… you never know how deep it is until you’re in the middle of it and it’s too late .
Meaning : The jacket could be in good shape or it could cost you more than you paid for it to rehab it .
2. Size 38 jackets are very small by today’s standards and most collectors like originals that they can wear periodically. So that could be a factor in this one not selling .

Most things will sell if the price is right, so in this case the indication is that the price isn’t right for what’s being offered.
