Just got a GN'R jacket!


Recommended Posts

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.

(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.

Notice 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 $43

Just 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.

Yes, just like anything really. I wasn't planning to pay more than $70 so I'm happy with $43.

Who's 'Lady Dairhean' ?

Lady Daihean has no clue on a lot of her pricing or what she's talking about on somethings. Just my opinion.

It's cool that Lady Daihean created a GNR collecting site. I think she would be better having a price range then actual prices just a suggestion if shes reading

While I will say some of the prices are a little dated, and I might not be able verify all the info on her site, I'm glad she has the site. I've been looking through it for the past 20 minutes or so, and I saw some shirts I really wanted to track down. LOL

But I definitely wouldn't rely on her pricing...
