December 13th, 2008what is the reasoning…
behind someone buying a leather jacket, that looks EXACTLY like most of the leather jackets out there, typical moto style, at a thrift store for $20 tops, and then trying to sell it on eBay for $200? Seriously?
I’ve been looking on eBay for moto jackets, since that Wet Seal one I was going to buy [...]
