1canpara Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just an observation but I just cant understand why some sellers cant figure out the front and back of a flight helmet and how to position it on a mannequin head....I mean really, it cant be that hard to figure out....just sayin ?

The Rooster Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I dropped a note to the seller of that 2nd helmet a couple weeks ago... . They never changed the pic. Prob don't care…???? Link to post Share on other sites

Blacksmith Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 For whatever reason, I think it is intentional for some sellers. There is one on eB@y that ALWAYS has their flight helmets backwards. Even a blind squirrel occasionally... nope. Link to post Share on other sites
dmar836 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Maybe they think it implies they don't know what they have so that more knowledgeable bidders will wan't it more? Dave Link to post Share on other sites
