Who wants to tell him?

Ahhhhh,..........Nope not me.

Vintage A2 US AAF WWII Leather Army Air Forces Bomber Jacket Sz40 Crown Zipper | eBay

 

[Micawber]

Nor me!

 

[ausreenactor]

Probably a her from the seller ID.

 

[MauldinFan]

I just sent her a message about it

I just sent her a message about it

You’re a brave guy…
Let us know what you get back .

 

[917_k]

Presumably a friendly message will suffice? Not sure why we need to be smug about it.

 

[MauldinFan]

This is what I got back:

You’re incorrect but you have a right to your opinion. Do your research. Thanks JP

I think it'd be hilarious if she got others telling her the same thing and even telling her a flight jacket forum is wondering why she thinks it's a flight jacket at all... But then again, she probably wouldn't get the point.

 

[B-Man2]

OMG!!
“Do your research “ . That’s hilariously funny . We need a “VLJ Hall Of Fame “. This would definitely be a nominee for it.

 

[mulceber]

What a shyster. You'd have to be blind to confuse that with an A-2 jacket! Well, you tried to help, but whoever the seller is, they're clearly trying to con someone out of their hard-earned money.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Bitchn idea, a vlj hall of fame…….

 

[MauldinFan]

Hey, I tried and I wasn't a putz about it. Frankly, I should have expected the reaction. When it comes to some ePay vendors, they never let reality of their item get in the way of a sale. How anyone could 'research' that jacket and think for a moment that it's an A2, sort of baffles me...

 

[Silver Surfer]

Time for carpet bombing?

Bitchn idea, a vlj hall of fame…….

Sorta our equivalent of the photos on the wall at Pancho Barnes' Happy Bottom Riding Club?

 

[B-Man2]

Right … and the funny part of it is, that all she has to do is Google “A2 Jacket “, and she’ll see it’s not even close , but instead she tells you to do your research . That’s the height of either ignorance or naivety, not sure which one at this point .

 

[917_k]

Okay, I take back my earlier comment, this seller is a moron. But, what we have in their response is everything that’s currently wrong with the world “you have a right to your opinion”.

No, these are FACTS

 

[B-Man2]

Time for carpet bombing?

Hahaha
I’m sure 20 or 30 “Contact the Sellers” should really make her day . But honestly … let her wallow in her own ignorance . I’d almost bet that this isn’t the first time a person wrote to tell her she’s wrong about the jacket

 

[Smithy]

Sounds like Babs is another one of that seemingly endless gaggle of Ebay sellers who doesn't know her arse from her elbow but will argue to hell and back that no, it's actually a foot.

 

[Greg Gale]

Well, I pickled, bombs away. Let's see what she replies

At least the price is 3 digit hahaha

 

[MikeyB-17]

Yeah I’m prepared to bet she won’t be told.

 

[Micawber]

Yeah I’m prepared to bet she won’t be told.

Sounds like my wife at times
