Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
Mark Grace game used bat from his final season, given to former teammate Scott Service as a gift. Service gave the bat to a police officer and I bought it from the police officer for $50 through ebay.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
buddy bell 1978 cleveland indians red jersey and 1982 texas rangers jersey purchased from the same seller in two auctions. they were listed as a 'bell' jersey. the red jersey was my holy grail of items wanted,i looked at least 15 years for it. i purchased both of them for under $1000 total. i would have paid a lot more for the red jersey alone. to me it was a steal.
take care

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
Not MY steal, but someone out there took a Goose Gossage bat right out from under me!
A few years ago, I was surfing ebay late one night and someone posted a Goose GU bat with a BIN at $100. I thought "Holy Crap!" and clicked over to baseball-almanac.com to check that the number on the knob, and it checked out. By the time I clicked back (what, 30 seconds??), someone snatched it up.
Who got this steal? Are you out there??

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
I've had tons of steals on eBay but here are my best:
Kurt Abbott 2000 World Series Game 5 Bat---$75---After the purchase, I come to find several photomatched pictures of Derek Jeter holding the bat after Abbott shattered it

Rafael Furcal game worn 2nd homerun 2003 season cleats---$79---After the purchase, I found out that his 2nd homerun of the 2003 season just so happened to be an 11th inning game-winning homerun.

Felipe Lopez game worn 2006 helmet---$100---After the purchase, the seller e-mailed me a photomatched picture, but I ended up finding another photomatched picture from May 10th,2006, when Lopez stole 4 bases in one game, all while wearing this helmet

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
This is probably in my top 3 favorite game used items that I own, and it was a steal in my book. I saw these Torii Hunter 06 game used cleats going off at 3 am one night and I didnt think I would be able to afford them. I stayed up but the price never did go any higher! I do believe with shipping I ended up getting these for $75. I also photomatched them to the game the guy said he got them from.

I also got these shoes at a steal of a price. I met a guy on Ebay after I bought some shoes from him. He offered me Shaun Livingston game used shoes for 35 and I decided to buy them. I bought a red, white, and blue pair from him.......or so I thought. He ended up sending me the pair below and I was MAD!!!! I didnt like that pair, until I photo matched them as 06 playoff shoes. That was the only time he ever wore this style, and I even matched them down to the marks on the shoes. I bought the photo from Getty, blew it up and had Shaun sign the photo. I plan on getting the photo and shoes framed together.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
I won on ebay almost two years ago a Greg Vaughn Sam Bat (see pictures) off ebay for only $15 plus shipping . The bat has so much use ,it is amazing .
The seller posted crappy pictures on the auction , so I had him email me better pictures .
After I won the auction , that is when the fun started . It took me about three months to receive the bat . The seller claimed the bat was damaged through transit by UPS and that UPS told him the bat was beaten up and he was filing an insurance claim .
I was trying to tell the seller just have UPS ship me the bat and if I am not happy with it I will file a claim . For I had a feeling UPS was describing game use not actual damage .
Well after many heated emails back and forth , I told the seller I was in touch w/ a UPS supervisor and I would email copies of invoices to the supervisor at UPS to make sure he only received $15 for the bat instead of the $100 it was insured for . This changed the sellers tune pretty quick . I finally received the bat in perfect game used condition .
I emailed the ebay seller after I received the bat and explained the bat was in great shape . I have never seen a seller leave positive feedback so quickly . I gave him positive feedback despite the trouble....

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 agree ! But if people are dumb enough not to do some simple research before selling an item ? They have a computer , put the damn thing to work !
In my case , the seller is selling a FREAKING SAM BAT and post a picture of the back side of the bat . Sam Bats sell usually somewhat higher than others , in my opinion . I don't the seller lost out too bad . Maybe $30.00 , maybe more , if he had better photos .
A Mizuno of Vaughns just sold for $25.50 plus $15 shipping on ebay . The Mizuno auction could have gone higher but I stopped bidding at $25.00 because I already have two of them .

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".

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
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. :D
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.

Dont forget your assuming the seller doesnt know what the bat is worth, maybe the seller does know what it's worth and just wants to get rid of it because they have no interest in it.
Then you turn around begging them to "please charge me more for your bat" (this was a metaphor - didn't mean actual begging)

Attached is a Duke football that I got from eBay. The ball was offered with a "Buy It Now" price of $150.00 - so I bought it immediately.
The football has been re-sold but I have to make one additional comment, when I saw it, I could not believe my eyes.

Thought I would learn to post my first picture today and show something I consider a steal. Picked up a 2004 Sean Casey game used Reds jersey for $107. Pretty good for a fan favorite of many Reds fans.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
Interestingly, my ebay steals have been in varying flavors. Some were for bad titles, some were for wrong category, and some I still to this day have not figured out how I got so cheap (listed correctly in title and category).
Probably one of the most blatant was listed as "Notre Dame Practice Jersy". The winning bid was $25.49 (by me) - it actually had another bidder on the item. It ended up being a signed, game used away jersey from the late 1980s (possibly 1988 - national championship season - but haven't photomatched it yet) with incredible wear. For those of you who know anything about Notre Dame jerseys, any jerseys pre-1991 are rare, especially from the 1988 season.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
That's a nice Jeter bat! My best ebay steal was $99 for a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio (vintage signature) on the sweet spot, Hank Aaron, Roger Maris, Bob Feller, and a couple of other players. I got the ball authenticated by PSA after purchasing it.

Bat was given to a ball park manager of the Nasville Sounds by Derek Jeter. The signature on the bat is from around 94-95. Currently working on getting appropriate documentation.

Wow! Why do you have to put the guy down like that? This is why people dont like posting in this site. You just couldnt ask why he believes this is a Jeter Minor League bat.

Thanks for your comment. It's appreciate by many, although most won't say it because of the backlash they know they will get. There are some who think they have all the answers and feel the need to let it be know.
I never understand why some people have to be rude and think that they have all the answers. Yes, the question definately could have been asked in a better way. I didn't care for it myself, but took the high road and just answered the quetion.
There are many game used items out there that can't be backed up with documenation or proof.
This particular bat was given to a ball mark manager of the Nashville Sounds. Documentation is forthcoming. However, many will still argue the authenticity.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
i should arod have to answer such rude questions from hblakewold if he isnt trying to sell him the item regaurdless of the authenticity it would still be cool to have a bat signed by jeter.

Everybody play nicey now ! :eek:
All right lets get back to the topic at hand !
I got this beauty of an item for $30 after shipping . I bought quite a few team balls off of a local ebay'r . He then offered this "poster" without sending pictures . So I passed on the item .
I thought it was paper poster so I did not want to risk buying it . Upon seeing the pictures after the seller listed it on ebay , I wanted it . It is a hard plastic sheet that apparently was hung at the stadium or a store or ??? cause there are a bunch of two sided tape on the back of the board .
This was signed in Caracas, Venezuela during the Braves vs. Devil Rays series they played down there .

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!
Tony,
It is plausible that Jeter did use the bat . Unlike today where most of the minor leaguers have their own names engraved on their bats .
Back in Jeter's years in the minors there wasn't a boat load of bat companies trying to sign players like today . There was Louisville , Rawlings , Cooper , and was Worth still making bats ?
In the 1970's Frank Wren used to live a few houses away from me when I was kid and he always gave us bats . They were all PRO STOCK's or team named . The Jamestown Expos he played for , I will have to double check that info. Yes that is correct , also West Palm .
I do agree that Howard should not be concerned with your task of authenticating the bat . Unless he is being sincere and is genuinely concerned for your welfare that you may have been duped in your purchase of the said bat.
Cheers ....

Thanks! The bat is a 100% authentic Derek Jeter Cooper Game Used Yankee Team Signed bat. I have documentation forthcoming that will confirm it. Bat was signed in 1994 (see example). 1994 was the only year jeter signed his signature this way. The end of the signature is the way to tell it's from 1994). Also, being a Yankee Team Bat from the early 90's, you're correct, there would be reason to assume/believe he used this type team bat.
As far as Howard being genuinely concerned for my, definately not the case. When I first joined this forum and showed my two louisville slugger blonde game used Arod bat, many made comments about it's possible, but Arod was know to use black bats in games and blonde bats in PB. Howard did nothing but attack me and my bats. I was new to this website then.
It's not just me. As those who came to my defense, they saw it the same way.
I don't know why some people thrive off being rude to others. There are some pretty knowledgable people in this forum. And then some like me who is learning. There's no reason to be rude or attack anyone, unless attacked first I guess.
Anyway, thanks for you comments. Tony

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.
