You guys ever have one of those cursed items? I have a pair of NWOT Gustin slim fits that I bought that ended up being too small for me. I've sold them twice now and they've been returned twice. Reason for return the first time: too tight. Reason for return this time: too loose.

Took a while, but finally sold the second of these two camo jackets...the 2nd going for quite a bit less than the 1st...guess not having the original name patch had something to do with it. Not a bad ROI on my $18 investment.


Receipt:



Sale 1:

If it floats in water, it was made by a witch.

i think the owner. there's not really a maker tag, i know they changed makers several times from St. Andrews to Attolini, i was just curious what i'm looking at. probably not for this thread but i figured the knowledge would be here. thx!

I once had a Luciano Barbera item awhile back with Grilux SPA on it. There was also an address. I looked up the address, and google street view showed it as the head offices of Luciano Barbera. Not sure if that helps any.

Luciano Barbera is great stuff, though somewhat under-rated.

Sorry about that, really sucks. At least you got through to eBay. I've been holding for over an hour.


I've had really good luck getting through to eBay the last three or four times I've had to do it--pretty much an instant connection. I well recall the days when you had to hold for an hour or more, but that, for me at least, has been years.

I wonder if they rank your call based on your selling activity - mine's not that high. I held for two hours and finally hung up.

Did you try again? I don't have a huge amount of selling activity, barely 100 transactions in the past year.
