College football jerseys on ebay

[Number9]

Anybody dealt with ebay seller "gameuseduniforms'? Or how about his previous ebay name of 'davidflagator'?
He has a lot of college football jerseys available now, mostly University of Georgia. He has been very good about answering questions and very courteous so I am not casting any negative words at all. Just trying to make a decision on bidding on a jersey and wonder if anyone has thoughts on these topics:

-- I have had really bad experiences with UGA items. A lot seems to be available throughout the hobby, tons of jerseys for each player, and rarely do they show any game use. I bought a bunch of helmets once, NOT from this seller, but NONE of the helmets' masks or chin straps matched any photos of the player after I did research. I did get all my money back.

-- Would a QB jersey have this kind of scuffing on the upper shoulder numbers. This looks like lineman use to me:

-- Lastly, does the bidding by this person concern anyone? In the last 30 days, he has placed 54 bids on 13 items, ALL of his bids were items listed by this seller, they range from college football to major league baseball, and he has won none of them.

Any thoughts? I would like to pick up a few jerseys so I appreciate any opinions and am running out of time to decide. And just to reiterate, the seller has been very courteous and obviously has a very nice collection. I am just looking to see if anyone has any thoughts that would help me make some financial decisions.
Thanks

I emailed the guy a week ago asking questions about the Spikes and Detmer. Never a reply. Apparently he did not want to answer the questions I ask.

Thanks Roger.
I tend to think the UGA stuff is good but the bidding really bothers me; its now up to 64 bids by one bidder, all with this one seller. Seems finshy to me.

I meant to type 'seems fishy to me'.... That this one bidder has bid 64 times, every single bid coming on items offered by this seller, and never won an item.

Is this the definition of "shill" bidding?

Sure looks that way to me


64 bids now, all for items by this seller.

Sad part is, makes me wonder about his items. Some seem legit, and he was very courteous in his e-mail responses to me, but when you see shill bidding, as bad as that is, you wonder 'is there even more going on beside that?"
