Had one of those c. 1985 or so. Gave it to a former student who is a part-time photographer. She loves it.

At that price, it is very likely that it “WILL REMAIN YOUR PROPERTY””....................................RJM

OK, folks calm down.
Covid and all that straining nerves and fraying tempers.
Swifty - this item is way over priced for a "previously owned" vest. Here is the first page on Ebay when I searched "Fujifilm Photo Vest"

Note as you scroll down the highest price for a Fujifilm vest is $69 and there are other brands like Nikon, all cheaper than what you are asking.
The retailers probably did have it very over priced when new - they do that. It seems adding the words "photo or photography" to something pretty much doubles the price at the least. And if sold by the brand name - well that often adds even more.
When I bought my pop-up blind a few years ago I ended up with one from Walmart's hunting/sporting goods department for $49 (now $79). What appeared to be the exact same blind with a different brand name and the words "Photographer's Blind" was over $200. It did have one of the four zip open window screens replaced by one with a camo sleeve in the middle to stick a large lens through - that was not worth over $150 to me.
When I bought my vests (I have three, one dark gray, one tan and one black mesh) the ones that said photo etc were very expensive so I went to a large "Surplus" store (remember those?) and found vests in even more configurations, materials and colors, often with even more pockets for less than $50, my black one (faded to dark gray the first washing-actually a better color for blending in) I paid $39.95, the on line company that sold it as a photo vest wanted $150.

Who needs a photo vest? A fishing vest is identical at a fraction of the price. You can even sew on your favorite logo.
