must have been re-listed due to a non payer !

Or, as is very common with this seller, the buyer received the suit and found that it was nowhere near the condition described.

Is that something you know from experience?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yup. And from what I'm told by other chaps who've bought from him.

Last I bought from him was maybe 5 years ago - the 20s shirt I'm having copied - described as "a bit rough". It's Swiss cheese. No problem as I was only buying it to copy, anyways. But still, when I list on eBay I make sure that every hole is documented an photographed. I think it's in the seller's interest to do so.

Not all his stuff is like that. But the occurrences are frequent enough for the seller to have a reputation amongst vintage buyers.

Thanks. That's worth knowing.
