Salty M43 Tunic?

**Eddie** · 10-22-2011, 11:00 AM

Hi guys, thinking of purchasing this tunic. It looks ok to me, but I always like to check with the forum first. Does it look ok from these terrible pictures?
Thanks,
Eddie

P.S. Unfortunately the ebay seller wants to do a Uberweisung(bank transfer). Has anyone every had trouble with Uberweisungs before? I've only done them twice before for small amounts of money.

A very cautious "OK" on the tunic.

Most sellers in Germany etc use Bank Transfers as the norm.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, what makes you cautious?

Poor pics is always a masssive concern. It can hide a multitude of sins or conceal a good item.

But I do like the different shades of rayon lining which is a good sign. Pity about the damage to the collar.

Cheers, Ade.

Ah, you're 100% correct, I always wonder, is this a legit "dachbodenfund" where the person has no knowledge or interest in the subject, or a deceptive scammer? Poor pics can make that a hard decision. Yes, it is a pity about the collar, I'm such a sucker for "salty" stuff though. I'd like to chalk it up to being a punk rocker when I was younger, rips and tears look "cool" to me still I guess, haha.

You are right, Dachbodenfund is often used by conmen to sell fakes. But on occasion it is legitimate.

As always, buy the item and not the story.

Cheers, Ade.
