    When is a 50% off sale not a sale?

    Everything for the half of the double! :eusa_doh: I've experienced an similar situation couple days ago. Went to buy a new pair of sunglasses and the only store that have my size was offering 25% off, the problem is that they regular price was higher than ALL the other stores.

    Actually you can't outbid yourself. All you can do is increase your Max Bid. The picture above doesn't show the "Automatic Bids", so he was trying to outbid the "8***a" user, and the user 8***a was placing incrementals automatically according to his Max Bid.

    This is a "Private Listing". All bidders will appear this way. According eBay description: "When to use a private listing While there are some cases where private listings are appropriate, such as the sale of high-priced ticket items or approved pharmaceutical products, you should only make...

    Is my G-1 mouton real?

    You sir "stole" this jacket from me in a ebay auction past week :D... I was the "first loser"... or the second highest bidder in this particulary jacket. Gentlemans here have said there's no such thing as winning or losing in ebay. But, I'm still trying to convince myself. Nice Jacket :eusa_clap

    Exactly, I am a kind of person that if I really like something I will pay for it. But... when it is an expensive item you'll obviously know what you're buying or at least have an idea of it's value. The only reason to bidders have gone so far in this auction is if they thought it was an M-422...

    I don't think this case was a dishonest sell. Actually I'm not trying to judge how much people pay for their things either. What amazed me was the fact that it is a truly example of "freaking out" in the last seconds of an auction. No one likes to loose, but some times people cross the line...

    That's my guess too Big J. The problem is... you shouldn't pay that much without a little quick search on internet

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    Hi everyone, After I've lost an auction in ebay of an apparently never worn G-1 Jacket from the early 60's, for a price that I've considered "out of any expectation". I was looking for anything interesting and found an Eastman jacket (M-422A Time Worn - Size 38). I've decided to "watch" it, just...

    1943 - AN 6552 - USCG Aviator's Jacket

    Thanks, the lining is very well made and the center pleat is not the only singular detail in the AN6552 from H&L Block, the lining underarms have an unique detail too. Unfortunately I can't say if it's original or not. But one thing is for sure, if it's not, it is an well made recriation. I...

    Mink oil or Pecard`s

    I've bought my Pecard Antique Leather Dressing today, from ebay (seller:duckpecardduck). It will take some weeks to arrive here, I believe, but I'm not in a rush. Lexol I can find here in Brazil to buy. But I'll wait for the pecard first, and test it.

    1943 - AN 6552 - USCG Aviator's Jacket

    NO, NO... My 7823(AER) jacket do not have the extra seam too. What I meant is, if the 55J14, the AER and the m-422(a) doesn't had the extra seam, it's probably an caracteristic of the AN-6552 from H&L Block. (In the Roger Moore's website you can clearly see the extra seam that I'm talking about...
