selling brand new vanson cobra 2

[Hamburger Legs]

I know that I should post this in some other area of the forum, but I need to sell it quick, and I'm selling it at a good price, and I wanted to give my fellow barfers first dibbs on it b4 I put it up on 3-bay.

Oaky, here's the schtick. I'm selling the Vanson Cobra 2 jacket (http://www.newenough.com/mens/vansonjacketssr.htm) for what I paid for it just a couple weeks ago. It's a size 40. It nearly fits me perfectly, but I'm pretty slender at 5'9" 150, so it's a little more bunchy on me than this other leather jacket that I now want. That's including the shoulder and elbow soft armor. I bought it for 550 out the door, and that's what I'm selling it for (well, it might be a couple bux for shipping, nothing crazy though, or if you're willing to wait until january, I still need to pick up my pitbull stands from the barf groupbuy, so I can bring it to you then). I live in L.A. btw, so it's not just a skip and a jump away.

So yeah, I tried it on twice for about 2 minutes a piece. There's absoloutely nothing wrong with it, the salesman just gave me a suite deal, so I took it, then tried on a suzuki leather jacket that fit me better. It's never been on a bike, or damaged or anything, and I have a receipt to scan if you have any questions/concerns or whatever. PM me if you're interested.

So wait, I'm not trying to KNOCK, WHORE, or BASTARDIZE in your little "good price" sale and all. But selling something at a "I bought it for 550 out the door, and that's what I'm selling it for" price(second hand on top of it), typically doesn't fall in the "good price" category. I hate to do this, but it really doesn't deserve special treatment out of the Classifieds forum. As a true barf troll I would know this.

I think it's probably a very nice jacket. And if you paid $550 for it a couple weeks ago, I would suggest trying to use the receipt to return it.

Vanson jackets are top notch from my understanding, so you might get someone who wants this particular one in your size. Good luck with that though. Or maybe ebay.com?

Trying not to bastardize,

ya, did you ever try returning it? since it's only been tried on 2x and basically the same condition you bought it, might be worth a shot.

$550 for me is a bit on the high side for just a jacket. I know vanson's are top notch and probably worth the $ though.

TCG! :rolleyes :teeth

Yeah, thanks for the responses. Well, it's basically brand new, I haven't worn it or anything cept trying it on in the store. 550 without tax and with the 50 dollar armor isn't a bad price I'd say, I mean, that's what I paid for it. The guy kinda cut me a deal, so I wanted to see if I could sell it instead of return it first. I "thought" it was a pretty good deal, so I wanted to offer it here first. Thanks for the feed back though.

Whoa, ok. I just realized that I really want that other jacket now, and bad. I also just noticed (as I was about to try and take it back today) that on the receipt it says "NO REFUNDS". I think I just want to get rid of this jacket to get the suzuki one. Being that it's for a fellow barfer, I'll offer it here for 400 straight up (with the armor).

Ok, you can't tell me that's a bad deal, right? 200 dollars off of www.newenough.com 's price, plus the 50 dollar armor free, and without tax. If you want pictures of it or whatever, just PM me, and I'll take some with my friends web cam.

Damn man, why not just keep it? It's a smooth jacket no one else really will have at any meets.. Not to mention they are really nice.

400 is a sweet deal considering what you paid.

FYI I did not pick up your PitBull stand, some other dude did. I sent you numerous e-mails but never got a confirmation reply. Just wanted you to know that.

Yeah, I was thinking about keeping it, and I LOVE the quality of the leather and the jacket in general, it just doesn't fit me the way the suzuki one does. Being that safety is most important to me because I'm sure I ride like a putz, I thought something that fit more snug would be better. Thanks for the bastardizing earlier though :twofinger hehe

Thanks for the info donoman. I think 400 is a pretty good deal, and it looks like I'll be selling it to some one on this board (which makes me feel good that I can give back a little to barf). I just picked up the zook jacket this afternoon, and am in love with it, so I'm just stoked about having a nice jacket that fits me finally. I think John Hurde (sp?) has mine because I live in LA, and I don't think it'll make a difference when I come up there which one of you is close by a few miles, so he just took em till I can get up there. I'll try to come up on a wednesday, and eventhough I probably won't quite have my bike by then, I can at least hang with you guys for a little bit before I have to head home.

John,
Thanks for the jacket! It's exactly what I wanted! Good seeing you up here also.
