Anybody got a list of what NBA ALL Star stuff listed has sold for so far tgis year? Anything good bargins. Seems last year couple years the dunk, skills 3pt contest type stuff would go pretty cheap. Didn't Gasol jersey go real cheap and was photomatched to games during regular season played.
Are you in the marketing department of Meigray or NBA Auction?
Last year didn't exquisite not go after the skills and slam dunk jerseys? Some of those went for reasonable prices.
Like I said, that is because he is controlling the market. He will let you guys win some to drive-up the interest again. Then, once everyone is excited and salivating over the possibility that jtnbafan might be absent again, he re-appears and cleans the house again.
I can't believe he took even the t-shirts this year. What does that tell you?! He is in power-trip mode.
I'm telling you all....STOP BIDDING!!! DO NOT allow him to control the market.
If everyone boycotts the NBA Auction or Meigray Auction until some rule changes are set in place, Meigray and the NBA will start to lose profit. Then, maybe that will force them to change some rules to make this hobby interesting again.
Just imagine the remaining all-star items just closing at $100 ... the Finals jerseys just closing at the starting bid price?. A Kobe, Lebron , Howard, or Garnett Finals jersey closing at the starting bid price?
Going to a bidding war with jtnbafan is NOT going to hurt his wallet. It will only make Meigray and the NBA happier The happier and richer they get, the more they care less about the other hobbyists or fans.
Aren't you convinced yet that jtnbafan/exquisite613 is rich and does not care about the price???!!!
If you want to put a stop to this madness, control your itch, and stop bidding!

The guy spent $460 on a pair of socks worn in one of the worst all-star events of all-time.
So odds are he is going to go after everything in the other events as well, even one of the worst dunk contest in NBA history.
Well I've officially decided to neverbuy from NBA Auctions/MeiGray again.
I've spent thousands & thousands on their items, even bid ALOTof the all-star jerseys up to unbelievable #'s last month.
I easily went over the $30,000 I had set aside for myself & still came away empty handed.
I didn't bid on a single item this go around, I figured instead of driving up the prices like I did last time, I'd let them go for far less then what I would of been willing to pay for.
I was tempted to go for the DeJuan Blair & Kevin Love jerseys especially, but once I saw exquisite/jtnbafan I decided not to.
No point in driving up the prices & helping out MeiGray/NBA Auctions.
Last thing I will ever do again.

I'm curious to know what the mentality of bidders will be for the next set of All Star game used that concludes next week, will you even bother bidding since you already know jt will sweep them all or still give it a try and maybe get lucky?
I was the one who put in a $400 bid for the socks, and was winning for like 10 seconds lol.
How does these things work? i put in a bid of $400 at around 10 seconds left, but they added another 5 minutes to the auction? huh?
Who is this exquisite guy? is he only after certain all-star gear etc or everything up for auction?
When someone bids with less than five minutes left another five minutes is automatically added to the clock. Unlike Ebay there is no sniping on NBA Auctions. Whether you bid with 4 minutes 59 seconds or 10 seconds left the result is the same 5 minutes gets put on the clock. Exquiste has a second ID on there jtnbafan and he buys up nearly all of the big name stuff that comes up for auction using those two ids. He won every allstar jersey this year and last. He also paid 35k for a Kobe finals jersey last year and bought many other Finals jerseys as well. He also bids on the other jerseys that hit. The only thing that will help other collectors is MEIgray adding more teams to its gu jersey program. Then more star jerseys will be on the market. They might not be allstar, finals, special event jerseys but they are better than the current alternative of nothing.
WOW! I've been watching this forum and the auction and all I can do is shake my head ...
Looks like he's not letting go of anything ....Exquisite613 is taking even the t-shirts and socks now. He used to leave these items for the middle income
I think what he is trying to do is control the market. The law of supply and demand.
Since he has invested so much in this hobby already, he wants to make sure that it will cost all fans and hobbyist ( I hope I spelled this right) so much just to own even just a t-shirt or a pair of socks.
If he takes each and every item there is in the auction, it will drive the supply very low, while driving the demand and the desire very high.
The only way to hopefully give us a chance one day of owning a Durant, a Kobe, a Lebron or a Wade jersey at a sane price is to not engage in a bidding war with him. Ignore the NBA auction for a while and let him win all the items for a very cheap price. DO NOT BID DAYS OR HOURS IN ADVANCE, because he comes in the last 5 minutes anyways to snatch the items from you.
If you think that you are punishing his wallet by engaging in a bidding war to jack-up the price ....you are wrong ... you are dead wrong. He is rich! PERIOD!
Until and unless Meigray and NBA Auction put a limit to the number of items an individual can take home (which I highly doubt) this will be the trend. None of you will ever get an All-Star jersey.
He has turned from simply an ultimate fan and collector into a rich businessman who is controlling the market.
Well, those of you who are also collecting in hopes of reselling later will not like this post and comment of mine, but it is what it is.
