Maybe. It is an average price for the product, a fused, boxy, machine made suit in black. However, it is also in a size that seems to be harder to find and that may enhance the value. Naldinis are more fairly priced in the 125-140 range, IMHO.

Naldini suits are nicer than anything I have seen for $150. I know the one I got some years ago was worth more than that. 100% wool suits made in Italy are goign to be more than $150 anywhjere you look regardiless of teh name tag. Here is one for $250:

If you believe the above, then why bother asking?

Checking to see if anyone had any substantial information to the contrary. Judging from your post, there is none. So why do you bother asking?

It's not nice to ask a question and then, when you get an answer you may not like, to be a total asshole about it.

the fact that it was made in italy means nothing. that you believe that somehow adds to its quality means a whole lot. This is a great site. Browse around and educate yourself then come back and realize how foolish you seem right now.

Naldinis can be had at Marshalls and other discounters for the 125-140 range I mentioned; hence my answer as to whether "it is a deal". As to the nicer suit for 150 question, it is readily possible to do better than a Naldini on the 'bay at 150. Inasmuch as you asked about a suit listed on Ebay, this is a fair comparison,
However, if you really like your Brown Naldini, good for you!

Your real question seems to be whether or not the suit at that price is a deal. Considering that major off-price retailers sell it for less, then no, it's not a deal. Your question as worded, however ("Think it is a deal?"), seems to go beyond the mere price and invites personal opinion. Asking for opinions and then retorting with disdain invites ill will and is self-defeating.

Do you like the suit? Can you afford it? Do you trust the seller? Are you satisfied with your options should you be dissatisfied after receipt of the suit? Then have at it.

The suit in question is not brown. I just dont buy that price range you quote at retailers - I shop at those places enough. I havent seen a Naldini for $150 on eBay so I cant say I believe that until I see it. I asked a question. You gave an answer. I doubt it. Its all good though - opinions are for everyone. Thanks.

My, how gauche. I'm afraid, disregarding for a moment your childish language, that I don't understand your question. What would you like to know about me? Would knowing me better qualify my answer in your estimation?

You come to an Internet forum, which by nature all but insures the anonymity of the participants, and curse at those who respond to your inquiry because you don't know who they are? How sad for you. Best of luck in life, son.

Who are you to comment on disdain? I debated a response because it sounds bogus to me. Just because someone responds, I am not obligated to accept it. I dont care abgout ill will and this isnt even an issue to be defeated over. Ridiculous.

Dear sir, had you read carefully my response you would note that I opined only as to the suit in question. Your question asked whether a black size 50 Naldini suit was a deal at 154. I said maybe. I did not definitively say it was not; I certainly did not say it was. If the buyer, a hard to fit size, was looking for a fused, boxy, machine made, black suit and was willing to pay that sum, then it is a good deal for that buyer. Ultimately, a good deal is extraordinarily subjective.

The fact that you have not seen the suit for sale in the 125-140 price range is, of course, of little moment. It is just possible that we travel in different circles, live in different cities, and visit different stores.

Finally, whether you "accept" my response or not is completely irrelevant. You asked for an opinion, you got one. Do with it as you will.
