    Re: Game Used Contact - Reds

    I dont think anyone intended to start trouble, i collect cano as everyone knows and if this was happening to me id be frustrated as well. I think dpl was basically stating the point of collector vs. reseller, venting his frustration at his inability to obtain items from the reds shop for his personal collection because people are buying them in order to "flip" them. Ryans auction happened to be an example of just such, i dont mind people making a buck or selling items to fun their own collection but charging 10x what you paid for an item usually leads to you being seen in a negative light.

The Reds Organization makes decisions as to what it prioritizes. I accept that and I tend to view everything as glass half full to the extent I possibly can.

    What I think we can agree on is that you are doing your buying with the house's money. You'll probably bid the house's money and win the MLB auction for the Drew Stubbs in the park homerun ball. It will (in essence) be "free" to you... paid for by other items for which you bought to reprice for the end owner.

    My best guess from a markets perspective is that your buy-to-reprice strategy will motive the Reds to continue raising prices on more and more items (pants, balls, name plates, etc... just as they already did with jerseys and bats). Better the $ goes to the Reds Community Fund, no?
    haha meant to +1 this one, talked to Dan and have to agree with his thoughts on this one, things have changed quite a bit and not for the fair to actual collectors

    $150.00 was the cheapest bat they had!
    $200.00 for batting helmets, with nigh numbers from spring training!

    It was very disappointing! One cool thing, as you walk up up the steps, they greet u by saying "Welcome to Game Used"!

    One of the interns, she is hot, said about the high prices "were a better team this year". Here is pic of her back side, sweet long dark hair too!!
