Don't trust craigslist enless you live by the person. I lost $600 on craigslist. I mailed my payment to the seller, but a local buyer showed up and offer more, the seller took his offer and decided to never send my money back and the police did nothing.

"I'm pretty sure a couple days ago I had the inside track on this jersey. Thanks to this thread "outing" the jersey, I'm no longer in the picture. Who managed to make a better offer?"

it wasn't me Mike.

No problem, I figured it's someone local since it would be a huge risk mailing payment for a Craigslist item. Did you happen to see that nice Thomas Sox batting helmet on ebay? That helmet was beat to hell.

I saw it, bid on it, got out bid and bid again. I had the thing won until someone sniped me with 3 seconds to go. I think a Thomas batting helmet, A's jersey, black alt sox jersey and a pair of the batting gloves from 96 are my new goals for my collection. I will never turn away from a nice Thomas item, however...I wanted that helmet, but had a limit on how much I would spend. I think I've purchased from that seller before too, asked if they had any other game used Thomas items for sale...no response and then this pops up.

A couple of months ago there was a different Thomas helmet listed, and I won that auction...cheaper in fact (didn't have nearly as much use, but it also wasn't cracked)...BUT the reserve wasn't met and the buyer decided to keep it.

Oh well. Thats how the cookie crumbles. The quest continues

As far as the price one of his jerseys commands, the A's apparently sold off some jerseys for like $100 or $150 at the past fan fest this year (all hear say as i wasn't in attendance as I am an east coast kinda guy).

I was there. The Thomas was $100, but it was actually already sold before the fanfest doors even opened.

Over the weekend I worked out a deal for this jersey and couldn't be happier with it. I won't tell you the price, but it's a lot less than I was expecting to pay. My original plan was to flip this jersey, but I think I'm going to keep it now. The piling and puckering on the numbers, tags and logo are great and the jersey came from an employee of the Frank Thomas Foundation. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

The only worries I had was how the transaction was going to take place. Imagine meeting someone you don't know at a Walgreens parking lot near O'Hare airport to pay cash for something off Craigslist. Luckily the seller was an okay person and I got out of there quick.
