I personally bought this.... In Montreal Canada I'm pretty sure. In a record shop. I bought it in 1994. I posted in authentic post, sorry did not see this till after. There is no tags. I had a guy tell me at a flea market, close to $3000 but I think that is crazy talk. I cannot find many long sleeve like this one. Please help!!

If you can get $3000 DO IT. Otherwise let us know if you want to sell and I can see what offers will come in!

I mean, not sure where to sell it but what do you think it's worth?

Best offer I could find for you was $700, but maybe could get $1000+ out of it. List it high on eBay with offers and see what rolls in.

Yeah $700 seems low. Can't stand ebay. They take so much. Even if I did $1000 ebay will take it all. I feel its pretty rare seeing that you really cannot find one online that's like mine. I personally would like to try and get at least $2000 and would be willing to go through you guys to do it.

The initial reaction to it from some of my regular Nirvana buyers - nowhere near $2000. That said, these were two dealers, but if it was a $2k retail piece they would pony up to closer to 2k.

Well. What is the highest they will go? Would they consider $1200 so I could bank at least $1080 and pay you for selling it?

I checked in again, can't get it any higher than $700 - could consider trying eBay. Might find the end buyer there who may pony up.
