Grey Flannel Auctions - How Did You Do?

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

Lou,

The 10min rule applies to ALL lots. As long as one lot has been bid on in the last 10min, they all remain open (to bidders who had bid on that particular lot prior to the 9pm deadline) until no bids are recorded on ANY lot for a 10min period.

Respectfully,
Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the clarification. They way I read the policy was that it applied to each individual lot, not to all of them collectively. In any case, I'm still pretty satsfied with the price I picked up the jersey for, so there's no harm, no foul with how it turned out.

Glad to hear! I made the same mistake when I first start bidding on auction lots. I still don't understand why they have their auctions organized this way.

I just emailed both steiner reps. Looking forward to see what they have to offer. What kind of price do you think they would quote me at for a bat simliar to the one in the GFA?

Ok I just looked and the bat ended at a little over 20k.
After buyers premium, shipping, insurance and sales tax if the person lives in New York. your talking about 22k to 23k

My first question is WHY???????

I am not knocking you for wanting it and yes I know everyone has there own reason for paying highly or over paying for something they really want.

But I cannot think of anything justifying that price.

Its a Home Run bat yes I understand that which does sell for more of a premium then a regular game used bat and if the person is a big power hitter with possibilities of breaking a home run record or shooting for the 500 home run club or maybe even a home run bat from a World Series Champ Season.

But here is my thinking you can pick up a Jeter Game Used bat from Steiner at any time from 2k to 4k depending on the weather.
Since its a Home Run bat lets add a thousand or 2.

Jeter a borderline Hall of Famer as far as I am concerned
Not a power hitter.
No where near breaking any Home Run records.
No where near joining the 500 club.

How does a bat of my personal opinion value go from the 5k mark (which im even stretching because I don't even think its worth that much) go to 22k+????

I am sorry I just don't see it.

It's no secret that with a a name like Jetefan I'm a Jeter fan.....but for 20K plus I'd try to fill that empty slot on my bat reserved for the Mick!!!!

Back to the auction, I picked up the pre-steroid Barry Bonds Pirates bat for around $ 950 plus the vig. Rex
