As for the topshop raincoat. They may have flown off the rails when they were in the shop but you never see anybody wearing one
As you say if someone wants it enough to pay that much then good luck to them and the seller but more than likely the seller will lose another listing fee because of their 'optimism'

I saw one of the Blue Topshop coats in town a couple of weeks ago, it did look nice

I do feel rather pleased that I bought 2 genuine pakamacs, admittedly not the see thru type but at least they were the thick grey shiny ones which are still very nice, a bargain at the beginning of summer at 8 pounds each inc postage. One is in use and the other still in its wrapper in the cupboard for future use as doubt they will appear again at that price.

Both these are genuine pakamacs, I got them at different times on eBay and I dont think I paid a lot for them back then

now they are eally nice pakamacs, the way they really should be, sadly the chances of finding one is somewhat remote now and if it did appear would be way beyond what I would want to pay for it

I can't believe that I gave the first one to the model, she kept saying how nice it was and the words were out of my mouth before my brain engaged, I just hope she's wearing it

The other problem is that neither of them was very big

if you notice though Hotwilly Clegg had the plastic mac in the earlier series but as time went by he had a nylon one instead, presumably the BBC found them more hardwearing

Very observant Merv. Have to say I hadn't noticed

Wonder if it was that as time went on the pvc variety become unavailable, hence the nylon one?

Hi Merv

I have one of those pac a macs,its a large size far to big for me,so if you fancy making an offer then I would gladly let you have it.
