The seller has another buyer who is willing to pay more for it, but he plans to actually use it instead of displaying it like myself (I collect military memorabilia). Honestly, I think the other buyer is an idiot if he's going to use a helicopter helmet that has spent an undetermined amount of time in a storage locker in the DFW area. These things have a substantial amount of Styrofoam padding in them, which deteriorates badly under constant heat. I don't worry about it as all it will end up doing is sitting on a shelf with a bunch of other helmets I've collected over the years...
OK, just got a text from the seller saying the other guy isn't responding. This has been a rollercoaster ride, not sure if I'm going to bother at this point. Stay tuned...
