What's happening with Mets game used outlets?

[lengthwise1]

Hopefully not to another vendor who will just add additional costs to the collectors...Hopefully they are telling us the truth...

my thoughts exactly, another hand to feed in the line of supply will not help any of us...

Maybe they are putting the process in place to avoid selling another major piece of Mets history by mistake again?

As of yesterday the auctions are back up. I was at the game last night and the kiosk is full. They appear to be completely back in business.
Apparently the inventory story was true.

It's true, they are back up and running but asking about anything that's NOT upstairs is almost looked down upon. I asked about a players jersey who they routinely sell in the 4 figures. They said they had it and I told them on the spot if they could send one of the 5 guys they have working that area downstairs to grab it, I would buy it on the spot. They said they couldn't do that. Last season I watched one guy get 3 D'Arnaud jerseys and a bat brought up for him when he walked up to the kiosk and asked; granted he might have talked with someone earlier in the week and they had something set aside for him but try doing that now! For all I know it's probably someone on this board too! I asked who I could talk to about acquiring a couple items they've admitted to having (but don't have upstairs in the kiosk) and got another name of someone to contact but at this point I don't expect much. Does anyone have a good line of communication with anyone over there that was able to get a transaction taken care of on items that were not immediately in a kiosk showcase or rack?

There were Piazza logo balls used in last nights game. The list at the kiosk was 40 people long by the time I got over to it and prices started at $200. The likelihood that they were going to get 40 balls from the game was super slim but they said if I left my name and email they'd send me the list; that of course lead me to asking why I try to contact anyone I don't get a response back. The guy's answer; who wouldn't even look me in the eye by the way; was that their "inventory was down". Ok, we've heard that one for weeks now but is it really that impossible to hit the reply button or call me back with a simple "sorry but we're re-doing our inventory right now but we'll send you the new list as soon as it's ready. Thanks for your interest." It's basic customer service that this team just completely lacks. OK, I'm off the soap box now but it wasn't a total loss; I came home with a wad of cash in my pocket! How many of us can say that after a visit to Citi Field?!

I had a very positive experience with them all weekend. On Fri I grabbed a Cespedes BP hat for only $50 and a Thor game rosin bag. I worked with a guy Ryan who was beyond nice and helpful. I wanted a Thor hat and he said he would take my number and text me before Sats game. He got me the hat from the Royal Giants game and I picked it up Sat. Sounds like I may have a Piazza ball coming from the Piazza game and I grabbed a game ready Piazza ball today. Maybe call and ask for him or ask for him at your next game. He was super friendly and very helpful and I certainly weren't buying any big name jerseys.

They wanted 2500 for thor and 2000 for matz from sat, pretty steep for a game worn bench jersey. On a side note, the Piazza patch was on with very strong adhesive, I don't think it was sewn because patches were removed some jerseys and being sold for $100.
