Mars Jordan - advice needed

[saulsaul]

Hi All

I have a bag only Mars Jordan. Frame and lenses pretty good but suede awful. Cleaning won't help much - it's a state!

I'm thinking of selling this but should I:

1) Remove the suede so this becomes a Crater with a Jordan serial and Gold lenses? (if so, value?)
2) Try to sell as is? (though who would wear with cruddy suede)
3) Other?

Thanks for opinions?

Sell it as is and be clear on the description.

Let someone else who wants it worry about the cruddy-ness

Sell as is brings more value. Some like beater leather Mars pairs

Agreed, I'd sell as is.

Iirc someone was able to do a phenomenal job clean the leather on a Jordan Mars a while back.

thanks for the tag @supersharp.

just a mild washing up liquid solution worked in with a soft toothbrush gets all the dirt out. once cleaned, allow to dry slowly in a cool place. the leather is really thin tho, so steady as you go....

as i said in my thread - they wont return to factory fresh but they make a great wear pair.

I like beater leather Mars, too poor to get mint conditon . If you do sell 'em let me know!

Leave it as it is.

I'm trying to figure out why all these people threw away their original Mars boxes

Because they knew the angst that it would cause you!
