that looks like a leather tag...if so, those are the oldest deadstock levi's i've ever seen...

those should go for at least $3000

[rnrswitch]

What would somebody do with those jeans. I wouldn't be able to wear them.

[Shorty Long]

i tend to think i'd wear them...if i was super wealthy, and a 32

[cheapmuthafukr]

id wear em ever single day... seriously... for the next couple years, then resell em. and have a hell of a story to tell

denim is the new crack

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

what year are they?

honey, you're my religion

Even though you haven't yet expanded

To include a heaven after

Even though I have demanded it

[danzarrella]

but are they real?

the messed up tag doesn't look right.

I'm not an expert tho.

[greentalks43]

I dont understand why the seller has the red tabbed flipped over with a pen.

"Patience, both we and our words are overproduced by influence"

[Paul T]

They''re showing the tab because it's single sided and indicates the jeans are 1952 or earlier.

[Salem]

with 3,800, ill invest in something else......

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

Oh my god...those are insane...and going for $4000...I wonder what the buyer plans to do with them?? The cut looks pretty descent. But still,

[wild_whiskey]

They're worth more than $4000. Jeans in this condition this old do NOT come by very often. I'm sure the bidders are only interested for collecting's sakes. The longer they are kept in this condition, the more they're worth.

Seriously amazing to see a pair of jeans pre-1952 in the same condition that my 5EPs were when I bought them.

[Serge d Nimes]

Yeah, those are rare and a really good size. If they were to be worn they would lose a lot of value. The guy that is bidding has the moniker myyamane. Hidehiko Yamane is they guy that started evis and evisu.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

So this is what they're doing with the money made by selling those really-well-done fakes?

[Edge_Of_Denim]

35 bids. Damn.

[Lars]

I watched the bid history on those, and one bidder overbid himself 19 times during like 8 minutes, pushing the price from $1,350 to $3,480 is that really allowed?

[sonick]

He had placed a proxy bid, and another member was trying to outbid him, but never reached the bid price he had set, thus pushing the price up.

bingo

[Lars]

Aha! I thought he was in cahoots with the seller somehow. Kids these days with their fancy proxy bids and cellphones..

that guy's bids were removed by the seller...auctions like this always seem to be hijacked by non-payers

I would be worried if I had zero f/back, irrational bidders like the one who's winning at the moment. Makes an auction look dodgy, too. Knowing when to cancel zero f/back bidders' bids is always a fine art...
