[Blitzmaster]

I have had some pretty good steals,

1988 or 1989 Warren Sapp$212.00 delevered($200 BIN came up about 1:00 am)



2000 Jason Taylor for $250.00 BIN a couple of years ago



and my favorite is this Walter Jones Rookie picked up for $60.00 as the seller thought he was a common player and had "seahawksjersey" as his listing. Comes with a letter signed by Jones himself!

Am I the only one who occasionally emails sellers that their prices are too low?

I hope so ! ! !

Please stop telling sellers their prices are too low, it's their job to do their homework and we love bargain hunting!

I just like the price to be fair for all. There are some times I am happy to get a great deal. But when the seller is in danger of being ripped off, then something needs to be said. That's especially the case when an item is misrepresented or the seller doesn't know an item's true value. We should really be careful not to take advantage of people.

I agree ! But if people are dumb enough not to do some simple research before selling an item ? They have a computer , put the damn thing to work !

In my case , the seller is selling a FREAKING SAM BAT and post a picture of the back side of the bat . Sam Bats sell usually somewhat higher than others , in my opinion . I don't the seller lost out too bad . Maybe $30.00 , maybe more , if he had better photos .

A Mizuno of Vaughns just sold for $25.50 plus $15 shipping on ebay . The Mizuno auction could have gone higher but I stopped bidding at $25.00 because I already have two of them .

I disagree totally. Its the sellers responsibility to be aware of what he is selling, period. If someone undersells an item, well, crap happens.....

"Let the seller beware" is just as good of advice as "Let the buyer beware".

A while back, I happened to be doing a team name search on eBay, and came across a 2001 World Series-marked Danny Bautista LS gamer - only the second WS-marked bat I've ever seen from that Series - listed in the wrong category - I think it was under something like "Fan Souvenirs and Memorabilia". Probably as a result of that, there was very little bidding, and I ended up winning the auction for 46 bucks.

No, I didn't contact the Seller before the auction ended and suggest that they pull it and relist it under "Game Used", in order to increase the bidding. I did come here to gloat, though, as I recall.

Sometimes, it's best not to say anything after the auction, either. I remember a few years ago, winning a couple of signed gamers (they were even in bat tubes) for $12.50 each, from a Seller who lived nearby and had found them at an estate sale, and telling the guy (after I had the bats in hand) that they were selling in the Team Shop at the stadium for just about twenty times that amount. I thought the man was gonna cry.

Dont forget your assuming the seller doesnt know what the bat is worth, maybe the seller does know what it's worth and just wants to get rid of it because they have no interest in it.
Then you turn around begging them to "please charge me more for your bat" (this was a metaphor - didn't mean actual begging)
