Show us your ebay steals!!!

[Vintagedeputy]

I just like the price to be fair for all. There are some times I am happy to get a great deal. But when the seller is in danger of being ripped off, then something needs to be said. That's especially the case when an item is misrepresented or the seller doesn't know an item's true value. We should really be careful not to take advantage of people.

I disagree totally. Its the sellers responsibility to be aware of what he is selling, period. If someone undersells an item, well, crap happens.....

"Let the seller beware" is just as good of advice as "Let the buyer beware".

A while back, I happened to be doing a team name search on eBay, and came across a 2001 World Series-marked Danny Bautista LS gamer - only the second WS-marked bat I've ever seen from that Series - listed in the wrong category - I think it was under something like "Fan Souvenirs and Memorabilia". Probably as a result of that, there was very little bidding, and I ended up winning the auction for 46 bucks.

No, I didn't contact the Seller before the auction ended and suggest that they pull it and relist it under "Game Used", in order to increase the bidding. I did come here to gloat, though, as I recall.

Sometimes, it's best not to say anything after the auction, either. I remember a few years ago, winning a couple of signed gamers (they were even in bat tubes) for $12.50 each, from a Seller who lived nearby and had found them at an estate sale, and telling the guy (after I had the bats in hand) that they were selling in the Team Shop at the stadium for just about twenty times that amount. I thought the man was gonna cry.

Nice stuff guys. I once saw a Gary Carter game issued 1988 NLCS Rawlings Adirondack go for about $80 on ebay. Unfortunately I was not me who won it and saw it after it ended.

Well I guess this one should go under steals/ heartbreaks... I got this 1950 letter from Joe Dimaggio on an original Yankee header for $54 framed, matted, shipped.... Unfortunately that was a few weeks ago.. and now it's "LOST" and I'm in the process of trying to get my money back.. anyways here it is.. the J is faded

David,

I was offered a 1988 Gary Carter game issued NLCS bat not too long ago -- maybe 6 months to a year back? Anyway, I may have the contact details of the seller... If you want them, email me. I am sure that if he still has the bat (there's always that chance, right?), he wouldn't mind a potential sale.
