Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

I got this:



I don't want to keep both items, and I'm definitely going to sell one of them. Part of me says the cleats, since they're so bulky, but that leaves me with a broken bat. :P Or, I could sell the bat (since I already have a 2007 blonde gamer that isn't broken) and work toward collecting a full set of 2007 Votto game items. Lots of possibilities with this one.

The two items come from the Ryans. I forget who had which, but at some point one Ryan posted the cleats and the other posted the bat. I recall when the bat was posted that it was in two pieces... now it's glued, which takes some of the fun out of having a broken bat. :P

I was thrilled to pick up the 'Glory of Their Times'-related player letters and checks. I collect handwritten letters by pre-wwi players, so some of these fit my collection very well.

I especially like these:

I got robbed, not a steal-kidding. It's a total crap shoot when consigning, that's part of the thrill. Unless you are Ben, then you are guaranteed to break records when selling.

No, Nick was the seller of a Posada bat, like Steve

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Congrats Steve.
My Posasda was from their first WS year and with his rookie number that he wore for all of 8 games. Light but definite use. Strange how little interest there was for possibly the earliest Posada bat and the descrepency in prices between yours and the GU 9. I'm assuming a couple people were able to match yours?

Nick, you got a steal. I would have gone for the rookie year if I collected Posada.
Congrats to both of you!

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Yea, I am was very pleasantly surprised with what my Posada bat went for. Especially considering there were 2 other Posada bats in the auction. I guess the World Series years are really carrying a premium.

I'm not going to complain, that Brosius bat was mine. And Mr Masi, guessing all good with your Posada sale?

Thanks for posting my zipcode. Hah hah.

Anyway, I received an email from Tina this morning (just got around to checking everything) that Goldin is going to eat a significant portion of the shipping cost for me, so the shipping will be only $37.75. I think that's terrific customer service on their part.

Of course they are going to eat some of the cost. You called them out on a public forum when you should've known or had some sort of idea how much shipping and insurance would cost to send to Honolulu in the first place.

Come on rookie....

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Speaking of Goldin auctions, who pays $3,900 for a Bernie Williams bat, $2,900 for a Jorge Posada and $1,000 for a Scott Brosius. Do these people bidding not know what items are worth?

Dane
Why don't you go to FedEx website and look at the cost to send a bat from NJ to hawaii
Your insurance was $8

Yes, sorry about that. I just saw what I wrote. Apparently, the "shipping + $8" got erased between "$65" and "insurance" on the post. I've been having random issues with my touchpad and cursor erasing text when I don't pay attention, so this doesn't surprise me. I do apologize for the misinformation/miscommunication, as that wasn't my intent.

I got the 1990 Strawberry gamer. Really wanted the 86 one but it was out of my range. Looking for the elusive Dykstra.

The '86 is worth $3000 and sold for $1180, which is a joke.

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Not any auction house. There are a handful (three?) that charge actual shipping and insurance fees. I think my shipping bill for Goldin is $65 for the single lot I won. $95 BP, $65 insurance... $160 *poof*.

-JUST FOR THE RECORD....
see below.
HW is an expensive ship (there is no "ground" option) and no, when you ship 1000+ packages at once, you really cant use 3 different services. Thus far fedex has NOT LOST A SINGLE PACKAGE WE HAVE SHIPPED SINCE WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING AUCTIONS.
in #9 in our rules, under shipping, it states we use fedex and require tracking.

Re: Goldin Auctions- what did you get???

Well, I'm paying $42 plus $8 insurance to ship the jersey to HI. but the last time I purchased a jersey from Goldin it was packed really well in a big box so no complaints. I'd rather pay a little more and be assured of a safe arrival than have them pack it in the smallest package possible.

You are right there. MLB Auctions makes me want to puke. I have never heard of good packaging from any team. Just throw it in a box in a team store bag and I guess that is good enough to them.
