How long ?

[Clark J]

How many years has this A-2 been FS ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Origi...323244?hash=item258fdb986c:g:TVcAAOxyvtdRIOFn

nice but with the leather in the condition it is a bit rough... I'd say he needs to knock $1000 off for it to sell.

 

[WBOONE]

he has no interest in selling it, thats why it has a too high price. people that dont have a interest in A2's wouldn't buy it if it was $500, and the ones that know and care about them wont buy it because it's worth about half that. so it will be up there for years.

 

[Juanito]

Several of his A-2s have been for sale on eBay literally for years--3 or 4.

 

[WBOONE]

Exactly--It also makes me wonder about the current condition of those jackets. How are they stored? What do they look like now?--those pics are years old. Original A2 jackets are not like wine, they dont just get better with age. He obviously doesn't need the money or they would be reasonably priced for a quick sale.

I have that same original Aero contract jacket a size smaller and in better condition that i paid $1600 less for.

If that Star on JC's sale page isnt sold in a week, may opt for the GW Cooper being sold by this seller. Whoops, cat's out of the bag!!

As Edward said, overpriced for the condition.

Fleabay is full of these dipsticks who list stuff for far too much and spend years and years relisting it at the same price. Who was it who said the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? Well that's what you have there.

I think that’s the definition of insanity.
stupidity is thinking it will work if repeated to infinity and beyond.

Garcia Aviation. Have bought a lot of his stuff since the bug bit.

The way the top of the zipper is sewn in on that Star would do my head on. Parallels and right angles!

I bought a US Authentic locally today so as to NOT be able to afford that GW! ‍

Keep in mind I'm the type of guy who has to use the idle hand to pull the other away from the handle on the slot machine...is there a cure to this?

Yes.... hand cuff the idle hand down to a stationary object so that it won’t be able to interfere with the job at hand

 

[Edward]

I often consider blocking auction sites and chapman's Goodwear website... maybe even the sales page on this site. lol! I need to be more active outside so as not to peruse temptation on eBay and etsy

I have a GW 1401-P rough wear A2 and a original Aero A2 so im pretty good for now. Bout the only thing that will make me pull the trigger again, so to speak, is if i come across a original Rough Wear in say a 46 in a excellent all original condition.
