Default What's it worth?

Hello everyone!

Please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place. I browsed the forum categories and did not see anything for apparel related discussion.

I have acquired a pretty rare (from my experience) Harley Davidson jacket, and have no idea what it's worth. I can't find any information about it online. I do not ride (someday) and have absolutely no use for this jacket right now, so I wanted to list it on ebay / amazon / classifieds.

I'm pretty sure this jacket came from a Miller Highlife / Harley contest. The only thing I remember was seeing a picture saying win 1 of 14 jackets. Now, I'm not entirely sure if that is this particular jacket, but the picture looked identical. I've had this jacket about a year, so the contest was likely early spring 2014. I'm really hoping someone can at least provide some more information.

Thanks for the help, and again I apologize if this is against the rules or in the wrong spot.

It's going to be worth whatever someone will pay. It may be rare, but with all the different looks and styles that are available, it's going to take a certain buyer. I wouldn't be expecting any big bucks out of it. It would probably be worth more by just keeping it. It'll save you $4-500 on a new leather jacket if/when you decide to ride.

Used stuff is worth 10% of it's original cost.

Hard to determine the thickness and quality of the leather - based on that and the person won it and they have little or no knowledge of it - I wouldn't go too high in price

It's still secondary market, private seller. $50 at most. But don't take my word for it, let us know what you sell it for..

In all reality, in excellent condition, it's worth about 1/2 of whatever retail was. It's a 2014 and probably not as rare as you'd hope. Plus, the MoCo has so many style jackets, none are especially unique.

Put it on eBay with no reserve and you will find out exactly what it's worth. Do it now while the weather is still cold.

Keep in mind also how it fits, some people may buy it if the price is right, and if it doesn't fit, try and sell it off again, it is hit and miss when someone cant try it on.
