There’s an amazing Ossie Clark snakeskin coat on eBay.
As you might recall, I have the jacket version.
Unfortunately, the coat is part of a “live auction.” I’ve never bid in one of those on eBay because of all the extra charges. In this case, the “buyer’s premium” is 22.5%! Plus, I don’t like this bullshit: “Most major credit card brands are accepted, however a 3% surcharge will be added to cover the charge made to us by our bank. There is a surcharge of 3.1% for American Express payments.” If you want to cover that charge, I say make your reserve price higher. But making a big production over it is tacky.
My opinion: Bid very carefully, and only if you’ve been CRAVING an Ossie snakeskin piece.
Good info -its such a pain.
mind you I don’t do snakeskin so no lust over this! I’m scared of snakes…
It’s certainly gorgeous, as is Miss Wendy’s. Undoubtedly someone will disregard all the extra charges adn BS to make it her own.
In theory I would sell my soul for that stunning coat that is so “me” it hurts, but unless I get a call from Satan during the “live auction”, it ain’t happening.
yours and the overcoat are really fancy! classic!!
a kiss!!
Hi Wendy-just as well you have your jacket already! You might have been seriously tempted otherwise, maybe?
I like snakeskin, because I hate snakes and knowing they’ve died.
Love your short version. You are the Queen of eBay, Wendy! How do you find such great stuff?
Iheartfashion, I’ve favorited lots of searches over the years. I just have to remember to check them!
It looks incredible.
(I agree with you, just pad the price, you chiselers! Don’t nickel and dime us to death!)
I just read pistols’ comment, and his comment reminds me of some comments from our Zoo trip. I wonder if he was hovering behind us, eavesdropping!
^^^ Nah, the restraining order forces him to keep a distance of 150 feet.
Oh jesus, that coat is the fucking holy grail. Thank goodness I’m not in the income bracket to even consider buying it.
Wendy B, have you seen the python coat and matching hat worn by pimp-turned-preacher “The Bishop?” It’s a stunning get-up!
that jacket is amazing my dear!!!!
muah xx
