    lol, thought it was listed as 120,000yen. but the condition of that boots looks shitty, I love ann and am particularly fond of these 3 buckled boots, but still don't think I'd spend $200 on something gross like that. Would you call the $600 beatup ccp hawckeyes as a good deal? Buying something just because it's cheap, regardless of the condition and potential of the object isn't exactly economically savvy to me.

      At a certain point of use the value of things are lost regardless of what name is attached to it.

      I've seen people buying and selling stuff that to me is just utter disrespect because of the condition its in..................but then, who am I to tell people how to spend their money?

      I lost out on a pair of Tornado Zips that were selling at a good price because I asked the seller for close up pictures...................seems some buyer was willing to pull the trigger on them without knowing exactly what condition they were in.
      For me, if the thing isn't in Good condition, i'm not gonna buy, regardless of how cheap its selling for

        ^ I believe we might have been going for the same boots. I was also asking for pictures but he said somebody was buying both the boots and blazer. Thought you might have pulled the trigger.

          yes it seems we were.
          I think I've lost out on a few good deals because I always want to ensure I know exactly what I am buying.
          I am not wealthy and with a business that takes everything I have to save up a lot of times to purchase these things so I usually make sure I know what I am getting.
          I have been fortunate enough to have acquired some things through some really, really good deals, but still.................just want to make sure I know exactly what I am buying before I press that PayPal send money button

              I was in contact with Daad Dantone because I was looking for some pants. They have these available in Sz.S (and I think L, as well) for 276€ shipped. Model is Jean11 and the waist on the Sz.Small measures 40cm.
              If you're interested you might wanna drop them a mail at spirito@daad-dantone.com

                "up for the sale is one of the most leather jacket 90% of the people you will meet will have ever seen. Yep, I said it. "

                I'm so confused. Plus, who actually writes in an auction that they outright will not take measurements?

                  The description:

                  "Hello ebayers,
                  up for the sale is one of the most leather jacket 90% of the people you will meet will have ever seen. Yep, I said it. There is no way I would be selling this if it were not too small for me. In advance, I WILL NOT TAKE MEASUREMENTS!!!"

                  including refusal to take measurements doesn't exactly instill confidence, does it?

                  EDIT: Yeah, what he said.

                      Well, he might not know what he's talking about, but it's still quite a good deal for an amazing jacket. And I thought Julius sizes were quite consistent.

                        7NY has Aitor Throup on sale. Sz.32 on the calf pocket for 900 USD.
                        click
                        Whoa... I just noticed. That's a huge discount of 300 USD Well, better than nothing.

                        edit. Maybe keep in mind that those might fit really small. I remember Christian once sold AT pants in a Sz.32 which fit like a 44 - so better ask for measurements.

                            I've wondered about this, because I'm a solid size 1 in Julius tops, but the denim moto I have from AW08 is incredibly tight across the back, and everywhere I see size 2 jackets listed, they say they fit a 46.
