Re: My biggest pet peeve...
Q&A from Ebay Listing:
Q: Dear Seller, just trying to give some good advice as I am an ebay seller myself and game used collector. If I were you when listing your game used items. just display them thats it. Don;t have someone model them or wearing them for the picture. Not there is anything wrong with your daughter but most collectors hate seeing a Jersey being worn or used other than the player and will cause people not to bid on items or turn them off from an auction. Just trying to help!! Aug-25-10
A: You made some very valid points and I appreciate you taking the time to offer them. I have sold many, many game used items over the years and had followed the advice you stated. This time, however, my daughter asked me if she could make some extra working around the house. I told her that if she modeled the jerseys I was selling, I'd pay her 5.00 for each one that sold. So, if bidders get turned off by the way I display my items, then so be it. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to offer your thoughts. My way (this time) is the correct way. Take care. Jeff
So I sent the seller an e-mail saying how a lot of collector's feel that it can destroy the value of a piece if they see people showcasing it on their own backs for their auctions and in part of the long response back, he said:
"I've been collecting jerseys since the mid 70's and have worn many, many jerseys to shows. Star jerseys, such as Rose, Morgan, Walter Payton, etc.,"
