In our continued efforts to provide special benefits to our members, next week Game Used Universe will be running another “Make an Offer” sale in conjunction with Steiner Sports. The program will work similarly to the one we ran recently with JO Sports. Specifically:

Beginning next Monday, June 14th through 8:00 pm PST on Sunday, June 20th, Game Used Universe members can submit a “Best Offer” for any team partnership item on the Steiner Sports website located at http://www.steinersports.com (http://www.steinersports.com/) or any team partnership item in the Steiner database. Regarding the latter, Steiner will be providing us a list of all the items that will be included which we can provide to any of our members who may be interested. At 8:00 pm PST on Sunday, June 20th, Game Used Universe will determine the HIGHEST offer for each item and present all the HIGHEST offers to Steiner Sports for consideration. Once the offers are submitted, Steiner Sports will inform us of the offers they are willing to accept and those submitting the accepted offers will be notified by Game Used Universe by 8:00 pm PST on Wednesday, June 23rd.

Among other things, Steiner Sports’ team partnership inventory includes items from the following teams:

1. New York Yankees
2. Boston Red Sox
3. Chicago Cubs
4. Dallas Cowboys
5. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
6. Syracuse Orangemen
7. Alabama Crimson Tide

Regarding accepted offers, please note that all standard shipping and handling fees will apply when items are shipped.

All offers must be submitted via email to sales@gameuseduniverse.com before 8:00 pm PST on Sunday, June 20th. Please note that if offers for the same amount on a specific item are submitted, the offer with the earliest email time stamp will be submitted to Steiner Sports for consideration. Obviously, if there are no two exact same offers on the same item, the offer in the highest amount will be submitted. Therefore, it is suggested that you place offers of the highest amount you are willing to offer given there may be multiple offers on the same items. We also suggest you make your offers as early as possible in case your offer is in the same amount as another member.

We are excited to make this offer available to Game Used Universe members and hope you have fun with it next week. We look forward to your participation and providing an additional means for our members to acquire quality sports memorabilia.

Sincerely,
Christopher Cavalier
CEO – Game Used Universe

this is great, thank you Chris! do you happen to know if items that are currently sold at Steiner Sports physical retail locations such as their store at the Roosevelt Mall and Last Licks Ice Cream will also be included in this offer? there is a Tino Martinez game used bat I believe was at one of these locations, but not on Steiner's website and was wondering if a best offer could be submitted for this as well? thank you!

I'm glad you are excited as we are about the upcoming program. We will be receiving a list from the Steiner people which will include all the items they are making available in the program that are not on their website. I understand the list is quite extensive so we will need to figure out the simplest way to disseminate the information.

Hello Brian,

Thank you for your post and sorry for the confusion. We were attempting to post the list on the site but it didn't work based on the software requirements. At this point, anyone interested in receiving a list will need to contact us by email at sales@gameuseduniverse.com.

Thanks again for your post,
Chris

Will offers be accepted/declined on a daily basis? With the items still being up for sale on the Steiner site, I would imagine that some may be sold before the official end of this sale.

Chris,

Will there be counteroffers or flat refusal emails as well? Just want to know if I will use my available funds on my offer or go in another direction.

There will be accepted offers, counter offers and offers that were declined for reasons determined by Steiner (eg, the offer is lower than Steiner's cost, offer is simply too low to accept knowing there are other potential buyers, etc).

Please let me know if that answers your question.

Sincerely,
Chris

Hello Jeremy,

If you could do me a favor and please check the email address where you sent your request it would be appreciated. We have had 97 requests from members to send them a list and we have responded to all of them. I re-checked to see if we received any request from you and I could not find one. If you did send a request and we didn't get it, that would indicate an issue with us receiving emails and we will need to look into it. However, since we have responded to nearly 100 requests and no one else has added to your post, I am guessing there may have been a typo when you sent your email or something along those lines. Again, if you can check the address and let me know it would be appreciated.

In any event, as per your request, I just sent you the list to the email address you used when registering on the site.

Sincerely,
Chris

I received a call from Chris this morning and he is having issues with his internet service provider. He is working with them to address the situation and restore his service. He asked me to relay his apologies for the issue and will get back to everyone as soon as possible.

Thanks for posting this for me Greg. Fortunately, after quite a bit of work, the technicians have been able to restore our email and internet service. Notably, since the technical problems centered around our internet service provider, this was not a situation that affect the site, etc. With that said, we have begun contacting people about their offers and should be able to inform everyone of Steiner's responses by tomorrow morning.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,
Chris
