ARod home run bats on ebay
There are two ARod home run bats on ebay. One is a grand slam and the other is passing Jimmy Foxx on the home run list. One is asking around $17,000 and the other around $8,000. I know we have have discussions on the panel as to what things are worth and I guess the value can be in the eye of the beholder, but these seem like incredibly high prices to me unless you have Bill Gates or Warren Buffet's income. The two that John Taube has on his site for around $4,000 seem closer to reality.

Re: ARod home run bats on ebay
Agreed across the board.
They will never receive those amounts. Those bats have been listed for quite a few months. When the auction listings expire, they simply relist them.
They are waiting for a "reasonable" (reasonable to THEM) offer, at which time they would consummate a deal. They are probably working with A-Rod under the agreement to "let em ride" for a long while....with the understanding that if A-Rod get's his first World Series title, it just adds to his value.
It of course would, but they still won't get those asking prices for those bats. Just too much for a current player who sells EVERYTHING he touches. It's all about supply and demand....and A-Rod is his own worst enemy in that regard.

And unless you could photomatch the HR bat, I wouldnt touch them. You may have read my post about the 2009 Arod HR bat that was on ebay that wasnt the actual bat.

Maybe 13alexrodriguez has the bat on consignment with JT? I've consigned a few items with JT before, but I never listed them on Ebay as well.

Re: ARod home run bats on ebay
Those prices are insane. An AROD mlb certified 2006 gamer with nice use went for $1,500 on ebay last week (hours after the Yanks clinched a WS berth). I contacted the seller before it closed and he told me he would have taken $1,150 as a best offer. Also Steiner last time I checked had 2009 gamers for $3,999 (and by searching Google there are coupons for steinersports.com that will siginifcantly reduce that amount). Arod will have over 700 homers oneday and there will be alot of HR bats and passing Foxx (4 other active players have done it and the average fan does not know who Foxx was probably) and hitting a grand slam in a random game are not siginificant enough milestones to pay such a premium.
