Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just bought a GN'R leather jacket, but don't know too much about it. I know it is a Bravado Vintage Leather Jacket made by Wilson, but I'm still confused as to when it was made.Now I know in 2005 Wilson made a GN'R leather jacket as part of their 'rock' promotion. Scroll down to the very bottom of this page, and it has the jacket.http://www.ladydairhean.0catch.com/Axl/Guides/AppetiteLogo.htm(I posted that link for reference to anybody who might've thought this jacket was the one from that promotion)Now here are pictures of essentially the same jacket I just bought.http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/new-guns-n-roses-leather-jacket-m-by-wilsonNotice in the pictures you see the $400.00 retail price tag. (Although with recent things I've read about how low the prices go on these jackets, I doubt that $400.00 price tag has ever really been appreciated, in an auction or anywhere)Here are pictures of the jacket I just won, via the auction.Now for the price I paid...a whopping $43Just thought I'd share my story.

The prices are very subjective because depends on the market but I think $50us is reasonable for that jacket.I don't know how lady dairhean works out her pricing but collectors have an individual idea on the value of items so I would just use that as a very rough guide.

Rose Cooper Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Lady Daihean has no clue on a lot of her pricing or what she's talking about on somethings. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking through it for the past 20 minutes or so, and I saw some shirts I really wanted to track down. LOLBut I definitely wouldn't rely on her pricing...

tat2d1 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 My wife got me that jacket for my birthday when it first came out. Every time I wear it out somewhere at least 3 people stop me and tell me how cool it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
