Exhibit A

Exhibit B

I emailed asking why the two pics look so diff, but no response.  Been seeing this coat a lot, prices all over the place, include $200+.  Obv this is gonna go for higher, but I'm all confused now about what my max should be!

Exhibit B: NWOT

Shoulder to hem: 31"

Starting Bid: GBP79.99 (~$125.77); 0 bids

Kind of a diff pattern, darker, not sure which I prefer.

Exhibit C: NWT

Size: UK8

Current Bid: GBP70.00 (~$111.07); 13 bids
S&H: GBP23.00

Looks like the same as Exhibit A.  And yet diff in price.  See?!  These things are impossible to predict!

T, 10/27/10:

Exh. A:  like the way it looks on the model, wish spots had a diff color orange in the middle instead of being just black dots.  Also, dunno how you feel about sleeve length -- are 3/4ths sleeves are okay for your leopard?

Exh. B: love!!!  Big buttons are a little gaudy, but everything else, nice!  This could go for over $150+, so if you REALLY want, I'd max at $175, to be safe?

Exh. C: yeah, I can't tell the diff b/w this and Exh. A.  Maybe you'll get lucky and get Exh. A for cheap?

A -- 10/28/10:

Exh. A: sold for $91.60 + $20.00 shipping = $111.60; 8 bids.

Exh. B: ended w/zero bids.  Will watch to see if it gets re-listed.

Exh. C: sold for $137.29 + GBP23.00 shipping = ~$170; 18 bids.

So basically, people like the one that I see constantly, the "plainer" one.  And I am no closer to a leopard coat.  Ugh.
