'Baracuta G9 Harrington' going for £100 on Vinted. Never shopped 2nd hand. Advice/tips??
-New to the whole 2nd hand shopping scene.
Just...gives me the icks that someone else wore it...
-As p/your recommendations for 2nd hand Baracuta G9 Harringtons (RRP £360), I've found this one on 'Vinted' for £100.
https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/4355747537-baracuta-g9-harrington-jacket-size-38.
Looks "very good condition", good price (???), and in the colour I want.
I'm only really considering it as some '3rd party companies' that sell Harrington's , make/sell for around £50-£90.
So if I'm going to spend that much (and possibly get length/sleeves hemmed (around £35 maybe) ), I'd be happy to splash the £100~ for legit 2nd hand G9.
-Now, I'd prefer to go into London (not far from me) to try on an actual '38/S' G9 for size, before I throw £100.
Have also bought/tried on '3rd party Harrington's (Real Hoxton, HarringstonStore, BenNevis).
Fit is nice/ albeit long, but I'd still like to try an actual G9 if I plan to buy the Vinted version.
-But the profile has no information/reviews.
What do I need to look out for? Rules to 'follow'?
Do I message the seller to say if he can hold of whilst I try on in store / what is lowest he'd go etc etc?
Thanks for your insight into 2nd hand purchasing!

Only worn a few times. Slightly too small and would like to replace with a 40.
