Any winners in Grey Flannel?

[eGameUsed]

Anyone pick up any items during Grey Flannel's auction that ended yesterday. I picked up one Astros jersey style I had been looking for.

Thanks,

Why didnt this end on time?

I know the 10 minute rule was in effect, but I placed a bid at 8:24. No one placed a bid after me. Bidding was supposed to end at 9:10 then.

It was still going on past 10:00 with no new bids and I ended up losing what I wanted

Wasn't very happy about that

It's not 10 minutes no new bids per item, it's 10 minutes with no new bids for the entire auction. If other items are receiving bids then yours will stay open as well.

One thing I don't like is how they don't show how many bids are on the lot or even the bidder number. It would be nice to see the bid history.

Sorry to hear you lost the item!

[TFig27]

Wow, ok I didn't realize that. The way I understood it was by item.

I too would of liked to see number of people bidding and there bids instead of just jumping up to my max bid.

[eGameUsed]

I thought that if you were the only bidder at 9 pm EST, you were automatically the winner since you had to bid on THAT lot by 9 pm in order to be a part of th1 10 minute rule for the entire auction.

I was going to bid and they I didnt feel comfortable with how I saw some of the bidding was going. Either it was a fool moon out or something was defintiely fishy. Your probably asking yourself what do i mean.

Heres some example, I felt the lots should have went no where near where they did.
1) Lot # 281 - 1998-99 New York Yankees Complete Lineup of Game-Used Bats (9) (PSA/DNA) - with auction premium, taxes and shipping this lot was nearly $5000 - for what?????

2) 1998 Joe Torre NY Yankees Managers Worn & Autographed World Series Home Jersey (Steiner-Torre Signed LOA) same here when everything is said and doen this comes close to $13,000 - for what?????

3) Lot # 114 - 2004 Miguel Cairo NY Yankees Game-Used Home Jersey (Yankees-Steiner LOA) - after everything its about $800 why?????








Here some lots that compltely undersold.

Lot # 109 - 1997 Jorge Posada Rookie NY Yankees Game-Used Home Jersey (Yankees-Steiner LOA) sold for about $1,700 defintiely worth it

Lot # 168 - Lot of Tampa Bay Devil Rays Game-Used Jerseys (3) - $600 worth it for 3 Jerseys including Kazmir

Lot # 274 - Lot of LA Dodgers Game-Used Bats with Some Autographed (11) (JSA) (PSA/DNA) - $650 worth it for 11 bats

Bid on Rodman jersey - LOST
Bid on Mavs Josh Howard and Devin Harris -LOST
Bid on Dr J shoes, LOST

0-3

[otismalibu]

I was hoping to bid on those Dr. J. shoes.

During the last auction, I emailed them a question and they blew me off with the "you're on our bad bidder list." That would imply that I've not paid for an item in the past, which is completely false. I just figured it was their way of saying get lost...you're not a regular customer.

Anyway, I sent a couple of emails prior to the auction (and one during). Also left a phone message for T.J. Favilla. All went unanswered. I tried.

Is the GFC Seller's Premium 20%, just like the Buyer's? Or is it less?

[BoneRubbedBat]

I did win a few bats, but was upset that their website went down right before the auction closed to initial bids at 9, and I was unable to bid on some of the lots I wanted. I called them and they basically said "sorry, there's nothing we can do." So if anyone here won that Carl Crawford jersey for $182+BP, let me know so we can make a deal.

[JackHE]

Some of the NFL jersey prices ended alot higher than I thought - even those with "Light"/questionable use.

Whoever got either the the Falcon jersey lots I would be interested in a couple of them.

Thanks

I won the John Taylor 49ers GU jersey.

[harpt]

I won a 1981 Ben Oglivie jersey.

There was also a lot with 4 different bats (2 1981 Oglivie's, a 80-83 Cecil Cooper, and a Wally Joiner...strange pairing) that I was interested in. If someone here won that lot and wants to part with one of the Oglivie's, please let me know.

[MichaelofSF]

I won the 97 Meggett Patriots jersey

[mfsquirrelmaster]

Deion Branch Seahawks jersey

[TNTtoys]

I too was interested in a lot but the bidding got a bit ridiculous near the end. It was for 6 Mets bats, including a Dave Kingman, Darryl Strawberry, Hubie Brooks, Kevin McReynolds, Kevin Mitchell and Howard Johnson.

I was interested in ONLY the Mitchell and Johnson bats.

If anyone out there in GUU land won this and are considering parting with either of these 2 bats, please email me at TNT_Toys@yahoo.com

[TFig27]

Well, I just checked my Spam folder and I received an invoice saying I win.

I guess they raise your max bid by 10%.

And here I was all day not to happy that I lost it.

What an auction rookie.

I won the Johnny Damon Jersey.

I thought that if you were the only bidder at 9 pm EST, you were automatically the winner since you had to bid on THAT lot by 9 pm in order to be a part of th1 10 minute rule for the entire auction.

That what I thought. I waited til 8:59 and bid. Then check at 9:13 and there wasnt' another bid. So I assumed I had won the auction. Woke up this morning to find out that I had been outbid. WTF?

[DRILLINDK]

Jordan GU Bat---Outbid

[toddhead]

I haven't received an invoice yet. Anyone else not get one?

[TFig27]

I received one. Check your spam folder

[toddhead]

My beautiful wife deleted it... it was just sitting there in the Deleted Folder... she has a habit of doing that... I should have checked there first...

[scottanservitz]

I placed a ceiling bid in the afternoon. Got outbid on my initial bid. My ceiling bid went into affect. I went to bed at 11:00 still the high bidder. Woke up this morning and I lost. Oh, it was the Fred Taylor jersey. I have been looking for one for months. Oh well. Maybe next time.

[saftey45]

If anybody got the Tampa Bay Devil Rays lot mentioned, I would be interested in a few of those jerseys.

As for what someone else was asking about that Carl Crawford jersey; The person who won it, put it back on the Bay and it sold with BIN/BO for $485.00, which I believe was $500.00 even with shipping. Check eBay completed listings...

[TFig27]

Has anyone that paid with check received their items yet? I know they wait 10 days for it to clear, I'm just getting antsy.

[eGameUsed]

I paid with Cashier's Check and received my item on 12/19/2007. That is 13 Days after the auctio close! Incredibly fast shipping. I have always been impressed with how Grey Flannel handles their auction proceedings.

BTW, I am thrilled to finally add an all original 1970s Astros Home "Shooting Star" with Zipper Front. Most have had names or numbers restored. Plus, it was of a decent player, and the first Astros to hit a Home Run into the Upper Deck.

Thanks,

Hello,
I was outbid on the pair of Del Crandall game used bats. I also was interested in the 2 Gorman Thomas game used bats. Also I was bidding on the lot that had 2 Ben Oglivie bats a Cecil Cooper and Wally joyner bats. I was wondering if anyone from this forum won any of these and would be willing to sell any of these bats. Please email me at jlschultz180@wi.rr.com
Thanks,
Jamie

[wllump52]

Won a few lots-- the Will Clark bat, a 4 bat lot (Cecil Cooper, 2 Ben Oglivies' and W. Joyner) and the Griffey Jr. HR bat--

I was surprised that the Griffey Jr. Hr bat went so high -- I have noticed the prices on his bats spiking up in other recent auctions and on some dealer web sites. Same with the AROD Hr bat going for near $3 K-- must be renewed interest in these 2 hitters due to their non 'roid use!

Looks like you found the buyer

[harpt]

Yes, and I also posted on page 2 of this very thread (12/6/07) looking for one of those bats.

I will give you a call and/or shoot you an email Steve.
