Used Aero jackets

[DoubleXX]

Just wondering if anyone knows roughly what percentage of the original price Aero offers for used Aero leather jackets.
Thanks.

I think its half of what you paid although condition is also a factor.

Funny, I wouldn't sell my LHB for twice what I paid for it.

Hmmm...in my case my jacket is unworn. Have to email them I guess. Just wondered what others had been offered.

What style, size and color are you wanting to sell? If it fits someone here...

Yes I would love to buy a used Aero from someone. What do you have? I am around a 44-46. John

I have a brand-new, never worn hair-on-hide Grizzly, size 46. It's posted in the classified section.

If the jacket is almost new it will go on eBay for about the same price when you bought it. If you bought your jacket before the price increase of Aero you might get the same price as you have bought it .
Aero buys their jackets back also, but selling it on eBay will give you a far better price.

Hello !

it seems like selling on ebay might be a tricky business ; I tried to sell my Highwayman there and the only offers I received were from some guys looking for bargains ( 200 GBP cannot be accepted for a jacket in very good condition, from my point of view ). Calling AERO and ask them for a offer or a trade is the best way to solve your problem.

Regards.

If your Griz is new and unworn, I think it would be instructive to compare it to Aero's pricing on their sale jackets, which are basically new jackets that were returned by a customer as not fitting correctly. Aero seems to knock off 100 GBP from the price of a new, made-to-order jacket. While this obviously is not dispositive of your issue, I think it makes a good starting point.

Good tips, guys-thanks.

.... ask AERO for a 46" Windward in brown standard Horsehide with brown cotton drill, vintage brass zipper, extra leather facing onto the waistband excellent condition with lots of grains - it could also could fit a 44" - maybe this is what you're looking for ... AERO's back on Monday from Hollyday ...

cheers

Thanks for the advice Windward.It make good sense. I am seriously looking. The Grizzley I am very much considering, but I have concerns it will be too warm in Kentucky except for the very dead of winter. John

Better to sell used. Aero will typically offer you half of what you paid for it (whether from them or on the used market) - bear in mind that they are going to want to be selling it on, so for them to get the going market rate for a used jacket, they will need to buy it from you as a ways below that. Can't expect anything else, really - they are, after all, in business to make money. Of course, it might seem worth it to you to traded in with Aero if you see the lower price as worth it for the lack of hassle of having to sell it yourself, but I'd give it a go on here and/or eBay first.

I've contacted Amanda at Aero and she said they only take used jackets as trade-ins, so ebay it is...
