Selling Vietnam stuff to my friend

[Ryan B]

Hey guys im selling my vietnam gear to my friend who actully collects vietnam gear. Im selling him a 1966 dated trenching shovel, A m60 bandolier dated during vietnam, and a vietnam field jacket with freezee liner/ the officers jacket. The uniforms i got at a garage sale. Do you know how much this lot is worth, and how much i could get out of this if i sell it to him?
Thanks

That officers jacket wouldn't be VN. Looks to be the coat for a WWII summer service uniform.

Actully i bought this from a neighbor who served in vietnam in the early years. The cloth is very expensive material and im thinking its private purchase.
Thanks

The tunic is proper for Vietnam period officers.
While interesting the value for the items won't be very much.
Just a rough guess would be around $50.00 more or less.
Mayby some of the other members could provide an exact amount.

I'm thinking the 1st Lt. field jacket with the liner alone would get around $75.00 to $100.00 easily. The service jacket would be another $20.00 to $30.00. None of the other stuff looks to be worth too much. I guess the price depends on, how good of friend is he?

Thanks

Yeah hes one of those ok friends. I might put in on the classifeads instead so ill ask my mom and then i might sell the uniforms on that cause i dont want to lose a lot of my money if they are worth this much.
Thanks

$50 sounds like a fair price when selling to your friend who has more interest in this type of thing than you

[Ryan B]

The thing is it worth 50$ cause i dont want to have this whole lot worth like 110$ and settle at 50 i might want to bump it to like 75$. So im really selling on the worth if the lot but i might drop the price down a little from what its worth.
Thanks

I was thinking around $60 or $70. Though if he's a friend,
you'll want to give him a good deal on the lot.........!
