Have you ever used a game used item?

I wear my Ramon Castro game used catcher's helmet when I'm up in my attic so because of the low ceiling. These batting helmets can really absorb the accidental contact with hard wood.

Sometimes all I wear is my Babe Ruth game used jock strap and cup around the house. I don't quite fill it up the way the Babe did but my wife gets a real "rise" out of it.

Here is my side...

Of course I would use a non gamer. It's a no-brainer.

As far as an actual game used bat from a player...? Not a chance. There is always someone looking for a bat you have. They might not need it now, but they will someday. Why take it out of the hobby?

Dave.....

You appear to be, of the ones who took the time to post, the only one who is taking the issue seriously.

I agree with you 100%. If it is truly a real "gamer" of a professional player, why destroy it's heritage by using it? Not right.

If you are going to do that, then take it to your grave with you, because you truly have "removed it" from the hobby by modifying the use....no matter how slight.

Upon first contact with a baseball while in your hands......it's impure (no longer authentic in it's original form).

I am not trying to be overly religious here in our hobby, just pointing out the fact that if you plan on releasing it someday, have respect for what it is, and for keeping our hobby "clean". There are already too many people out there fabricating use on bats for financial gain. It could be argued that you guys who use these bats for a moment of self-rightousness are aiding and abetting them in their cause.

So go ahead and swing away........but make sure it's just at "air". Keep it clean, please.

The question should be....


"Have you ever used a game used item? When you sell it, will you list it as used by you?


I know all of you will say yes, yes I will. But really though, you would list it as being used by you? Pretty sure not everyone would, and that is the part that kinda bugs me.

I have used all kinds of game used hockey equipment to play in including sticks, gloves, skates, helmets, half shields, pants, and elbow pads. No better equipment to use than the pros!

If I am going to use a bat, Im going to use it until it breaks. And when it breaks I will either keep it or throw it away.

No point in selling a bat that I used

Re: Have you ever used a game used item?

Nah, never actually used one of my game used pieces. I'm guilty of trying on the jersey's and swinging the bats around the house though, but I think we've all done that.

No never will use a Game Used Item.I think its dead wrong to do a thing like that.
