Nice M-422A Edmund T. Church, size 42, BIN 199 USD

[chrgod2]

This seems like a nice "Buy it Now"?! One of the nicest WW2 jackets I have seen on eBay for some time. Good leather, cool pointed collar and an excellent label! Some stitching marks from patches, but not too bad.
I must be well worth the 200 USD price?

Unfortunately for me, it is only shipping in the USA... (Well, I have an L.W. Foster 55J14 on the way)

I think that is a G&F even though it has a Church tag...look at the left pocket it has the tell G&F wider pocket. The pocket flaps also do not look like any of the three Church jackets that I have had. In any event, a nice deal for $200!

I think that's our own JC that bagged that one.

It's not an Edmund T. Church.
It's a depot reconditioned jacket.
The funny bit about it is that the waistband was installed upside down

That is one odd jacket........I'll bet John bought it for the tag!

He knows it's not an Ed Church.... I can't tell for sure what it is. To many changes to it.

Strange, I've seen that on a lot of depot jackets ... seemed someone didn't know or care. Fair enough.

I saw it before John bought it but there were way too many issues to hit the bin. The zipper is a replacement. The lining is also a replacement, the tag is obviously a replacement and the shoulder damage did not inspire much confidence.

Check this one . Same wrong replacement: (collar, zipper, waistband, cuffs, lining) removed Patches. Wrong size label. It is looks like same Jacket designer work.
But price US $455.00

Yes indeed. John and I are working on a special project to purchase specific refits. In the process we're unraveling the story of a master crew of jacket hatchet-men operating out of a discreet depot in Rota, West Pacific. Billy Bob, Josey and Wayne specialized in fitting knits upside down and replacing all parts incorrectly. All this had special meaning and significance in the run-up to the planned invasion of Japan.

But in reality, following a few drinks, I hit the BIN button without thinking ... fortunately managed to negotiate the price down to a more reasonable $200. My last few jacket purchases have been shite, but this one (now returned to and relisted by seller) took the biscuit: http://cgi.ebay.com/WWII-A-2-FLIGHT-JAC ... dZViewItem

Sure, no probs. Haven't recieved it yet but will post pics etc. on arrival. As a jacket, $200 ain't that bad, and the flyer does have some interesting history. Anyway, the moral of the story is don't engage with Ebay after five pints of ale...
If you're talking about the 364th, well, that was a piece of crap. Glad I managed to return and get a refund.

Certainly enough to start hitting BIN without much thought.

the chicken or the egg....

or

you could hit the BIN and then hit the ales....

200 is good price for this Jacket. My first think was you get some rare patches inclusive, removed from this Jacket.
But no Mystic just 5 pints of ale.

There's some paperwork coming with it that could be of interest... not holding my breath but we'll see.

How did you managed to negotiate the price down to $200 after hitting the BIN??? Isn't there some kind of contractual thing going on once you hit the bin?
