There was another CSC sold for $1500 after being listed as an auction, but got changed to BIN and sold?

I bid on this recent Cat's eye, it was a legit full run auction. Brought $1385 with a lot o bidders at the 1k mark. Nice gauge for the vintage market.

Not sure what to think about those other sales.

I'm all for vintage jackets bringing good money, just got to be legit sales.

Maybe it’s a good time to unload some of your vintage pieces from your collection. The market has buyers with money to absorb them. I’d leave them up at $1500 each to see what sells. If no bites, they can go back to your closet.

20.5 pit to pit seems pretty small for a 42, does anyone know if that's normal for a Schott of this era?

Go by photo measurements. Size tag means nothing when it comes to vintage. 1950s was when American manufacturers started messing with vanity sizing. After WWII, American’s average body size also became increasingly larger.

Strong accusation from the new guy. You should report it when you see it. Note that the thread doesn’t forbid friends posting listings for each other though.
It was a question, not an accusation, and that seems to be a surprisingly strong reaction. i haven’t seen the logs of who is friends with who, I was asking a question because - as the new guy - opening this thread looks more like a marketplace than people sharing what they’ve found.

No. It has not changed. There will always be some who attempt to circumvent the rules.

When you see it, report it.
I don’t know who the actual seller is, my question was primarily aimed at the general activity that people are sharing items actively for sale, with pricing, and it being the same shop being linked to.

Evidently this question has upset at least one member, and any rule seems easy enough to circumvent by having a friend or separate profile do the posting.

I’m not tying to cause trouble with what was an innocent question. It’s just not the activity I expected to see in a thread about finding finds and deals, when the forum already has a classifieds section.
