Hi,
I’m interested in your opinion on Vanson model B I recently bought from e-bay for USD282 from Japan including international shipping.
According the seller it’s a Competition weight model B, but beside this he couldn’t provide more information.
I sent a mail to Vanson a week ago with the SN for more information about age and details to the cut but didn’t get a response yet.
The issue I have with it is that it was advertised as condition B, light wear.
But the lining has already several holes, also the leather has many visible wear areas this was all not visible at e-bay. The zipper isn’t that smooth either however I have never seen such a gigantic Zipper. What’s your experience with vanson zippers, maybe that’s normal?
I complained about the condition and the seller would agree to accept a return, but not a discount as I think I will keep it.
I think if the damage and wear would have been advertised and the price would be a bit lower I would be quite happy with it.
What do you think is this is a fair price and good fit, or better return?

Don't know what price you paid however it fits very well!
I have not had good experiences in buying from Japan, it's painful if the description is 'poor' to send back if the seller accepts as you still (in the UK) lose out on import fees (at least I did).
