Hi there...
Someone is willing to sale a leather jacket wich was owned by Freddie in the mid 8Os. The Seller is a local cult hero in Munich, but he is requesting anonymity. I will recieve pictures over the weekend.The look is not classic black vor red. It is mixed sort oft leather with primary colour black and various coloured stripes.
Does anyone know what a reasonable price for such a item is ?
Thanks !
1) cost of actual jacket
2) add $600-$1,000
3)if iconic add another 130% of above
4) add 20% commission of #2 above
Could potentially fetch a lot at auction. COULD NOT. Who knows. And auction houses take a big cut of the sale as well.
If this person has no children/family and knows you're an uber Queen fan. . I'd expect far less.
Just ball parking it. How much did Freddie 's Wembley yellow go for? 20K?
That one was iconic. ...so who knows
I'mreally just pulling figures out of my ass
Good point on the iconic thing, surly a factor finding the right price. I was over there and had a look at it. Uh...totally not iconic I would say. It's from his personal wardrope I guess, not seen in a video or on stage. Taste-wise more Mr.Bad Gay than Guy...not my style, and the mixed sorts of leather with the stripes are a matter of taste.
The seller is requesting 1600 Euro. The condition is good/average and needs some cleaning.
I left him alone with my ( lower) offer and give him a few days to think about it.
I can see your points...
Yes, there is a label. It is a Zaspel jacket made in WEST Germany. My research so far is that those jackets were priced around the 1000 DMark back then wich would be like 300 british pounds. AS you know the Internet and eBay ruin the market you can get those jackets for a fist full oft Euro Coins nowadays.
The guy gets it by heritage from someone who was in Freddie s Munich Party entourage. There is no picture oft Freddie wearing that jackets but he gave me some Informations in names and a few other things I am not willing to share at this point.
QZ on a tablet...Oh boy !
