1st Gen Racing Jacket Value?

[QUA1L]

I have the chance to purchase a couple pairs of first gen racing jackets and don't want to get ripped. First, do they look real? If so what would be fair price for them? I don't know squat about racing jackets. They come with bags, but no boxes or paper work.

Both looking good, I would say they are legit.
In my area are two for sale: asking $ 62 / $ 118
If the frames and lenses are in very good condition maybe up to $ 130.
AFAIK you can't get replacement lenses.

You can see on ebay they are going for $200.

Yes, but on eBay well used 2nd Gen M Frames and hodgepodge Razor Blades are up with a buy-it-now over $300.

You can get a Water Jacket, which is essentially the same pair with a strap, in Vaults, polarized for $180 right now. Not many colors available, but anything aside from rare colorways should fetch under $200 in a fair market.

I would say$200. I have 3 pairs of water jackets to include the blue frame.

So if I paid $85 for these I'd be ok?

I'd say that would be a pretty good deal.

Hell yes. And you can sell me a pair!!

 

[QUA1L]

Hell yes. And you can sell me a pair!!

To clarify, it's $85 each. Still a good deal? Im going to try and talk my way down to $150 for both pairs with bags and spare nose pieces.

I think the nosebombs alone sell for $50 on ebay.

$150 for the set is a pretty killer deal if they're in good shape.
