THE Original Browncoat back up on eBay.
Some of you may recall a few years ago when Shawna Trpcic and Jonathan Logan auctioned off the original screen-worn browncoat for $12,000. Well, now it's back up on the auction block. With a $300 starting big and no reserve!
And yes, I can confirm that this is indeed the original, not a replica or even one of the two stunt coats that are also out there. It's being sold by the same eBay user who bought it the first time around.
Note that while I was involved in helping Shawna & Jonathan with the original auction, I have no connection to the current one (other than confirming that it's legit), so this is not self-linking.

And Beth'll, can you please use capitals in your posts, per site rules? Thanks.

Beth'll, considering that there's no reserve on the auction, it's anyone's guess! Someone could get it for a song. Or the folks who missed it last time around (or became fans since then - it was over 2 years ago, remember) could get into a huge bidding frenzy.
Personally, I hope it goes for more. Partly because I'd like to see this gal at least get back the money she spent the first time, partly because a higher resale indicates even more demand for Firefly memorabilia now than there was two years ago, and partly because I work at eBay and love high GMV numbers. :)
The only part of me that would like to see it go for less is the part of me that's bidding. But I already know I'm going to be *far* outbid by serious collectors and/or rich fans.
Oh. And since my joke about Nathan's birthday snowballed into Operation Browncoat last time (it still blows my mind how much they were able to raise!), I should mention that *my* birthday is next week. And I'd be more than happy to take this as a gift. hehehe

I just hope it goes for more than the $8K+ that OpBC bid last time.
