    Game Used gloves on eBay (Hundley, Korcheck, Willard)

    maddimae18 (who is a member here) has three "game used" gloves listed on eBay:

    Steve Korcheck:


    Todd Hundley:


    All three gloves were acquired from Heritage Auctions in this lot:


    One problem is (and I messaged Heritage about it) that the Korcheck is a store/endorsed model glove. Another problem is the Hundley was sold as a back-up glove, and given Heritage's liberal use of "game used," that might mean it never entered a game.

    He also has the Willard up:



    I don't know enough about minor league Mizuno mitts, so that one is probably good.

    Anyway, the original lot sold for $310 (including BP), which was a pretty good deal. I guess I just feel a bit disappointed that a well-known member would be selling a back-up/game issued glove as game used, when the glove notably hasn't been fully broken in yet. The store model Korcheck doesn't surprise me, as much, as it took a lot of research beforehand (while the auction was in session) to figure that out.

        FWIW, I don't think I'll get a reply, since I noticed it with 3 hrs left in the auction.

          Probably not. Looks like he made his investment back and still has in my opinion the better of the gloves left.

            I believe that is one of the 2 or 3 ebay usernames that forum member rchimes13@yahoo.com uses frequently.

              As danesei@yahoo.com I'm sure can attest, his concern was not only replied to, but I informed the buyer and he/she was satisfied as well. Thanks danesei@yahoo.com for reaching out.

                Sorry for not posting sooner. I agree that the solution for the Korcheck was good. 50% refund for it being a store model. Though, I'm still disappointed that a game-issued (not entirely game ready) Hundley glove was sold as game used. Though, I suppose that's a matter of opinion, at some level.
