Two B-7s and an A2

[Roughwear]

Three cheap priced jackets. I'm surprised the seller is selling two B-7s at the same time- he must be desperate for the money as he would make more if he listed them with a decent gap.

This goatskin A2 appears to be a relined/re-knitted Cable, but with the high BIN is it a good investment?

Looks to me like he doesn't plan on selling either one!

He walked into a Salvation Army store near or in Portland Oregon about 10 years back and found a whole rack of them. He bought all of them for a fraction of what he is asking for one jacket. He starts high and relists them cheaper each time.

He sold be a B-7 jacket and the matching pants. They were listed for $3500 the FIRST time. And by the third or fourth listing I bought them.

These are probably very good examples. I bought a jacket from him and he forgot to take pictures or describe repairs/patches on the jacket. It was listed at $2200 the first time. So I would not buy from him anymore. He took forver to ship the jacket even though I paid within 5 minutes of winning the jacket.

So if you're patient they will be less expenisve most likely.

Hope this helps.

Some folks have all the luck.To have seen a whole rack of them in a salvation army store would've been a heart stopping event for me!

I've never found such a deal either. They have always had a premium price tag therefore it has become a hole in my collection.
I've never actually cared for the B-7 from a display standpoint(over the standard ETO dress) so have never pursued one. Looks like I never will!
