New old stock w/ tags, some surface soiling (selling as is). Listed on eBay w/a BIN today but have NO idea how to price...is there a site to hunt vintage Levi's that aren't denim?

Thanks for any tips!

I would personally do a rediculous BIN with a best offer element. I see you put $200 on em. i wonder if it should be higher just to attract attention. I have never seen a price guide. But I do find when one has something highly collectible, one usually gets lots of notes from people who "know" or at least try to throw you off and talk you into giving it away. it should be interesting to see if you get any mail. with a 29 day listing instead of a 3-10, you may get people who are willing to wait it out to see if you get desperate, but you never know.

I would assume with an inseam and waist they are for a slender man, but of course, marketing them dually towards women would be more the way to go - I guess I thought they were women's initially because of the mannequin.

Also, i bet these could have been worn by someone who was a jockey/exercise rider because of the inseam/waist combo. I can just imagine someone like Mickey Rooney in National Velvet wearing them to knock around the barn . I am 5' and these pants would fit me - obviously i don't know about hips - but i used to ride and some of the guys were about my size. I would be tempted to put "jockey" in there somewhere.

actually, I know whose brain to pick, and I am going to send off a note to him now.
 
Hi,

I asked, Sam, over at Dress That Man, and he seems to think they are women's like you do.
He pointed out this pair so thinks they are more like 50s

(i don't know - they could be incorrect on the date so who knows - they think 50s)
Also, on the lighter colors the stains may not wash out so the price should reflect that.

I still don't know why I see jockey, but i guess you guys are both correct because of the side zip. Men's would be in the front.
 
Thanks! I just assumed right off 40s because of the side zip....maybe Ranch Pants always zipped on the side. I have it open for offers so we'll see!
