    I'm with Skweres on this one I bet the price will not stay low starting tomorrow. that is one of the ebay ploys to get the bidding to start. I have seen things go higher than you can get it from a on line shop just because two or three people start bidding aginst one another On the other hand some times you CAN get a good deal if no one bids.

    It's way too small for me, but does look like a great deal!

    She probably has little idea what it's ACTUALLY worth, so she just put it up there for a quick buck to get rid of it.

    Can I suggest 1 thing? Figure out who is going to bid on it BEFORE the "5 hour mark" to make sure we don't have 2 or 3 XMARKSERS trying to outbid each other? Also... maybe split the sale if 1 person just wants the jacket and another wants the kilt? Just my $.02

    In my opinion, 1" is a big deal. Now you may be able to adjust the waist size to allow it to drop down 1" lower but will it be comfortable wearing the kilt that low. I'd measure up from your knee what ever the length is and see if you would be happy wearing a kilt at that location before buying.

    I have asked the seller about the color of the hose and flashes and the size of the hose, but have not gotten a response. I might be interested in buying them if they would fit me and are of a color I don't have. If the buyer is interested in re-selling, please talk to me.

    Nevermind. He finally responded. I am interested in neither.

    I have placed a bid on it. I will check again in the morning. I will have my better half keep an eye on it while I am at work, which is where I will be when bidding closes.
    We'll see what happens....

    Good luck Do you have proxy bid on it? Or can you access it at work?

    No, I do not have a proxy bid on it. This is my first bid on ebay, so I am not sure how that works. I work construction, so access to a computer is not possible. My wife will monitor it, and I will be able to contact her as the bidding closes.
    If it was meant to be, it will be...
