[suave1477]

Hey guys wanted to see if anyone here bid in the auction?

Did you bid on anything?

If so did you win?

I won the National League helmets and the 1957 Cubs team signed ball....

the helmets to me were a steal...

I would have liked to win the AL helmets... really want that O's helmet... but the price shot up quick

Nathan im probably gonna get hammered for this but who is that player?

Before answering please keep in mind I am not a Hockey fan nor do I follow the Rangers.

I am just curious is he some kind of SuperStar or is it just because it comes from a World Champion Season?

I bid on several items including:

Bid and Lost
Bruce Smith GU Redskins jersey (went for $1060)
Jim Thome 1999 All Star Jersey (went for $790)
Deion Sanders GU Cleats (went for $530)

Bid and Won
Lavar Arrington GU 2003 Redskins Jersey (tons of use)
Santana Moss GU Hurricanes Helmet (with Team COA)

Generally, I thought the bidding was pretty aggressive given the economy and most of the items went at pretty good numbers.

I won the John James 1983 Houston Oilers jersey. Mr. James, needless to say, is a former Florida Gator.

My winning bid was $250. Nobody else bid. How are they coming up with a final bid price of $330? 20% buyers premium should make the price $300. Are they including shipping? I've never won anything from an auction house before. I read all the insructions but can't figure out how they're coming up with $330.

I would call them and find out.

I am sure they will correct it for you. Seems like it was just a glitch.

I had an issue one time when there online auction was showing that I was being out bid because they were having a computer glitch and all it was, was me bidding against myself. I realized what had happpend and they said no problem they will give me the item for my lowest winning bid.

He's an above average defenseman who was a major part of that Rangers team.

Most Stanley Cup Finals jerseys go for much lower than that. I'm sure for a Rangers fan, this would be an ultimate holy grail. Which means that it was probably Barry Meisel who won it.
