Did I deserve this?

I agree with most. This guy seems to be a pain to deal with, and like someone else said "I'd hate to deal with him if the item had issues when in hand). I can't recall ever dealing with him, but he has many jerseys that I would love to purchase. However, the combination of the blurry photos (might have worked 10 years ago but even my piece of junk cell phone takes better photos than those) and rude verbage in listings, makes me think twice. Now the comments that he has been known to alter uniforms is particularly alarming.

Hoop-style has 486 items on eBay. All of them seem basketball related.

Then he has 2 "landing nets" and I wonder are those there to catch jerseys thrown into the stands ala Gilbert Arenas?



Here is the listing if interested:

HONESTLY I can understand that the guy is rude and plenty of people are.

What you guys are missing (or at least not commenting on) is he OPENLY said he strips the jerseys and changes them to more popular players.

That would be enough for me and would be MORE of a concern than him being rude.

I am really glad to find all this out. I thought he had something personally against me, but seems he is a jerk to everyone.

The thing is he does have some legit stuff, he used to be a huge player in game used, if there was a game used jersey on ebay he would buy it. There are some of his items i totally question and know are fake. And i know he is in this as a business, i see a lot of things in major auction houses that end up back in his ebay auctions...not sure if he wins or he is the consignor....but when ever i see questionable items in these auction houses i personally assume he is the consignor....ie the bad George Gervin and the bad Dr J.
