I always enjoy the creativity in the products write up.  A Snow figure ??? lol.  I doubt he paid that much for a black leather biker vest.  I can get them retail over here for £30 (roughly $43).
Thats a Warriorcleon T-shirt next to it.

stranger still, BOTH of these auctions have been pulled, and now show as "has been removed, or this item is not available."

I think this is the same vest as pictured above:

It’s a bargain (if it were approximately 15% of its ridiculous starting price!)

Will it come as a shock to anyone that the vest pictured above, which might have sold for about $80, received no bids with its unrealistically greed-inspired opening bid of $400?

I think not...

just put it up on eBay - if you wait until near Halloween (but not so near that you don't have time for it to get to 'em), you might get double that 130...

Yeah, it has to do with the Hells Angels holding the copyright to the skull and wings design, despite the fact that the two rockers look NOTHING alike!

And really, I don't think it's an issue to sell a vest you already own, but to produce additional runs of them

This could be why a lot of people are still selling their vests anyway, including our multi-seamed, $400 friend from above, who, incidentally, has relisted the item at half that price (which is still more than half what it should be, IMO!)

That auction can be found here:

Ah, also - some sellers have taken to obscuring, or just not showing, the warbird, to get around the copyright issue, and ask prospective buyers to request pictures of the full vest...

Back before Dale at A1 vests got the cease and decist order, he stocked sevral variations of the warriors vest.  One was a black vest with tan piping and the others were sheepskin leather which looked a LOT like this vest. Got a feeling that this may be the vests origins.  Its definatly the same patch.
