they go for that all day everyday. i already posted the few men's MMM leathers on ebay, none are listed at what you guys are claiming.

where the **** are you guys getting these $2000-$2500 figures from?

**** if i can get that for my leather, if someone offered $2000 for my leather i'd be asking kunk right here ^ if he'd be willing to sell that rick he's got on

On Y!auction and MBok they are sold for $1600-2200. They're usually in good condition, small sizes (44-48) and sought after colours/treatments. On ebay they don't even come up very often and usually in 50-54 w. crappy colours or treatments. Once again black 5 zips in calf size 44-48, not going to happen and if it did it would be exceptional.

if you're paying that they are hosing you, thats more than what they cost new, and if you're paying someone to wear a leather jacket for a few years then there is something wrong.

i'd suggest you step back and look at a newer jacket, 5 zips are aged design wise.
i'd take that $2000 you have and spendsome time scouring SZ for a newer leather wiith better and more exciting cuts ,features and treatments.

WTF? I pretty much have all the leathers I need, might get a new jacket at some point but I'm in no hurry.

I'm telling you what they go for since you don't seem to know. I thought you were Japanese, it seems you are not aware of the inflated prices of Japanese retail and second-hand market.

Have you ever set foot in a Japanese store where european designer clothes are sold? If you had you'd understand why prices are high even on the second-hand market...

you're an idiot if you think a 5 zip is anything more than your standard sears moto style jacket with 2 elongated zippers on a symmetrical jacket.

they're boring as **** compared to dip dyed leathers, the serfraty croc jacket from a few seasons ago with the hook enclosure, or a _7 red leather

yes, i lived in tokyo prior to coming here for school. protip: most American's don't know this. Japanese culture, not popular to buy things used. i guarantee none of you won't believe me until you meet a Japanese person, but take it how you want our cultures and norms are compeltey different, you don't need to compare katrina with the recent tsunami to believe that
