For sale: Goodwear Cable A-2

[Monsoon]

It looks a very different colour to the one in the link. More chocolate. Has it undergone any "treatment" ?

Nope, no HWT or any such thing. It might just be the lighting and whatnot.

 

[Dudleydoright]

Yep, getting the lighting right in photos is a b*tch.

 

[Monsoon]

Bump.

C'mon! Buy this beast of a jacket! You won't regret it.

 

[Jeremiah]

I can't for the life of me understand why this has not been grabbed yet?

 

[Dudleydoright]

Maybe because the jacket shown on the GW website looks completely different to the one up for sale ?
That's what out me off.
Plus i can buy an Aero new for a lot less and get my money back if i don't like it.

The other issue is that people spend a fortune on a jacket, call it a keeper then want to sell it so something must be wrong with it ......
Lastly, those who bought second hand GW seem to think that whilst the from new owner takes a huge hit when re-selling, they can shift the jacket for no loss.

I was interested myself and asked questions but the disparity in the photos put me off. Maybe the same with other folk ?

Delete this thread & get better photos. You want $900 for a jacket, take the time to get photos that show it to good effect is my advice.

And good luck with your sale. I opted to but a new Aero

Photos could be better, but in all fairness to the seller, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind about a jacket. Happens all the time and it doesn't mean something is wrong with it.

Maybe because GW and I took the pictures with different cameras, different lighting, different locations, etc.

That's what out me off.

Good for you.

I love the jacket; I just decided that I'd rather have an A2 that had a bit more room for a sweater underneath.

Well, how does it compare to the pictures that you asked for that I emailed to you? Oh, wait.....you never thought to ask that, did you? Only one person asked that, and out of the goodness of my cold, black heart, I'll include them here. You know, they look different from the ones on imgur, the GW website, and here.

So, if you have some sort of problem and think I'm trying to cheat someone, bring it up to the moderators. Until then, keep your opinions to yourself. I like it here and rather not get peeved.

Once again, good for you.

Musical genius, yes. Photographer, not !

And you sir might not be a musical genius but you turned out to be a great photographer .
Can't see why your lovely jacket hasn't sold based on the later photos. It's a beaut'.

To be honest, I think it can be hard to shift leather jackets during the summer, especially given the furnace blast we've just had. It's taken me four months to sell a pair of Aero A-2s on eBay and not before I was screwed about by people trying to low ball me with frankly insulting offers.
