Electric Eliminators Jacket on Ebay!!!!

[LIER ONE]

I am in the patch making business (I make patches etc for the garment industry). I can tell you that a 1 off of an fully embroidered patch of that size, from overseas (even with shipping it is still cheaper than doing it here in the US) is about $50. That is with a mark-up (everyone has to make money) and shipping. I had wanted to start selling replica patches from each of the gangs (both full size and mini), but the costume maker (we know who that is) has the liscense to do all patches etc.

Patch quailty looks really good.  Eliminators logo is an uncomplicated design and she's done a good reproduction.  Well worth the money you paid.

no, from the d, sorri... had the east coast on the brain.

Well worth the money you paid.

i couldn't be happier w/ it, man. do you think it's worth taking it to an embroidery shop to have the bolt worked on to shine?

thanks for the repsonses ILLER...

Apropos of nothing, I find it very interesting that you chose to have your board name include an ellipsis!

a trail off into silence.

Personally. I would leave it as it is because its about as close to movie accurate as you'll get. 

But if your adamant about going down that road, you could use that reflective material that they have on safety jackets.

That "couple" is now down to just one, as one has sold

and, while it does not indicate the final selling price, it was less than the $300 BIN because it shows "offer accepted"; i'm guessing it was a good deal more than the $100 ILLER... recently paid!

[ILLER...]

wut are you basing your guesses on? i would have happily paid the $300 even.

…proximity to Buy It Now price

As I say, all speculation on my part; however, generally, if an offer is made that is too far from the BIN, the seller tends to find it unreasonable, and does not accept.

That the offer was accepted leads me to believe that it was closer to $300, than to $100

i would have happily paid the $300 even.

I'm sure the seller wouldn't complain if ya sent that additional $200!

heh

don't occupy yourself w/ wut i spend MY money on.

I bet it will go for a lot of money.
