MEARS Mumbo-Jumbo?

[cigarman44]

I don't blame you or anyone else. The whole situation is very confusing to me also. I would use some caution, but not much more than usual. Prior to this situation this company has an amazing certification record.

One Dave I do not believe works for MEARS Auctions and the other Dave it appears is quitting if I understood his post. They replied, but the main player has not and I am not going to ask him why - Call him or email him if you really want to hear answers.



"This did not happen..." - Was he saying this didn't happen or did he mean this shouldn't happen?

This forum accused an individual of being the buyer, who said they weren't. I wonder if Dave Grob was quoting Robert to know of this transaction or if he had discussed with with Troy before making these statements.

I am just confused as by MEARS not replying, I wonder if Dave Grob confirmed what he wrote with Troy as being true. Could the eBay seller have contracted MEARS about buying the item and they offered $4000.00 not knowing it was listed on eBay? No one has addressed this possibility - Just a flat out accusation that they contacted the seller and offered him twenty times the sale price.

Could be true, but Dave Grob didn't verify this, he just repeated what Robert had accused the wrong person of doing. If it is confirmed that MEARS attacked an honest sale through eBay, shame on them as we would never approve of such activity. Yes, a statement from Troy would be nice, but after some comments in this discussion they may not be reading this thread anymore. Even if they are, they may feel replying not to be the answer.

I keep saying, if anyone is really concerned, the MEARS contact phone numbers can be found on their auction web site. Call them and ask for answers. I think we would all love to hear them.

I believe him saying "this did not happen" was in response to the sentence right before that, "The jacket was listed on E-Bay, and as a public selling forum well known to MEARS personnel, MEARS personnel had a chance to bid and win the item within the spirit and intent of both E-Bays policy and the ethical guidelines that MEARS personnel are to buy product under."

Where is Chris Nerat to do some investigating? Oh he stopped writing and went to Texas.

Too much speculation here. Someone pick up the phone and get some real answers.

That's probably what happened. Thanks for floating another possible scenario that everyone missed.

It's also possible that Joel was one of the Simpson jurors. In fact, I've not seen any evidence to suggest he wasn't.

Jessica or OJ? I'll give you a clue, I have not been to Las Vegas in three years if that helps.

I highly doubt that this Ebay seller decided after the fact of selling it on Ebay for only $200 that it was worth more and then decided to contact MEARS and offer it to them for $4k. Think about it, if the seller thought it was worth more they would have put a reserve on it or if they found it it was worth more during the auction they would have cancelled the auction before it ended. I am sure that this seller was floored when they were offered 20 times the price than what they just sold it for on Ebay.

If I was the winning bidder on Ebay, I would contact the circuit clerk in the county that the seller resides in and file a claim in small claims courts for the amount that MEARS sold the jersey for. Small claims in some states will let you file a claim up to $6k before it turns to civil court, it just depends on the state. Some states even let you file the claim through the mail but you would just have to appear for the court date.

Actually I contacted the seller thru ebay asking who they sold it tomnand they stated that it was not their jacket, see my post, they stated - "The jacket I had turned out to be a fake. Not mine". obviously it appears they are lying for fear of any reprisal.
