Well *some* of the items are even cheaper when bought used- I got my MKVII from England in a bad condition for maybe about 10 pounds (was about 1998 or so I cant remember that well), it wasnt torn or anything but very dirty and seems to have been stored in some humid cellar...had to wash it two times, then it looked great, had some local leather shop attach a strap (non authentic but light brown) looks still pretty cool...Eric Solo said:I have the same problem. It's hard to spend all that money on Indy gear and then dirty it up. Looks good though.
