Show us your ebay steals!!!

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.

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.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

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.

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.

Nice generic YANKEES bat that has a Jeter sig. How can you possibly claim and also prove he used this in the minor leagues?

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.
