Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

That's a pretty good deal for jackets and trousers of that age. The leather trousers are probably the most desirable piece in that auction. Pity 2 of the jackets are ladies models …

3 Vintage White Wool Cricket Trousers

Did a Lounger buy these? Seller refused to ship outside the UK or I would have placed a bid, too.

You should have asked one of us here in the UK to bid for you ....

Three pairs of cricket trousers for £49! Someone got very lucky!

 

[Rudie]

Yeah, probably. It didn't cross my mind.

Dang! Did a Lounger steal this from under my nose? http://www.ebay.de/itm/320907684645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

I won its twin in a lovely POW a few weeks ago, made the same day for the same person, and hoped to get this one as well. I paid much less for mine, though.

I was sorely tempted to bid on this, but I'm glad I didn't. The exchequer couldn't stand the strain. Still, VERY cool:

I had bid on this when I first saw it, but failed to follow up and it got away. And really cheap, too. Maybe it will turn up again, you never know:

Here's a classic case of Ebay sniping. This amazing 30s vintage suit, which belonged to an old Vaudevillian named Toby Nevius, sat for a couple of days at a low, or let's say reasonable price. I decided to bid on it even tho it wouldn't fit me, just because it's such a cool suit and a part of genuine American Vaudeville history. As the bidding wound down, and the price hung at about $80, I thought to myself, this baby is going to get sniped within an inch of its life. And sure enough, within the last few seconds it looks like 3 different bidders leapt all over it. The price went from $80 to $304 in a matter of seconds. OK, guys, it's all yours. I just hope the buyer appreciates the historic value of this wild and crazy suit.

My eyes started bleeding the moment I looked at that suit - and this was only a tiny thumbnail!

A suit only Rodney Dangerfield could wear.

 

[dhermann1]

Well, as I said, it belonged to a Vaudeville comedian who was active in the 20s. I guarantee you he could be clearly seen in the last row of the top balcony. And what made want it even more was that it obviously was worn on stage.

I worry that that suit is going to end up covered in guiness, spew, and other bodily secretions next March.

You might well have a point there. Then again they did pay a fair amount to use it for that.

Well, you know how silly people are about their paddy's day costumes … [huh]

We don't have much of that around here but maybe elsewhere they do. [huh] I give you permission to give them an "atitude adjustment" if they do.

Well, it wouldn't matter for him, really: wearing that suit would get him no respect. No respect at all!

 

[Dinerman]

Found this on eBay as a cheap buy it now. Hopefully it pans out in person.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Nice! Excellent, classic colour combination … Is the dark material gabardine?

Now that's funny. Just yesterday I was marveling at a photo of a very similar jacket that I have in my collection (the photo, not the jacket) and now you're posting this photo. :eusa_clap
