Re: Anybody's offer(s) get accepted by JO?

YES!!! My offer was accepted!!! I am so excited!!!

Hello everyone! This is actually my first post here on GUU. I've been hanging around the forums for months now and finally decided to join a month back. I don't actually own any game used jersey's as I really don't have a lot of spending money available... saving it all for my wedding. However, I can now say that I own a game used jersey! Hopefully the first of many!

Thank you so much Chris for helping setup this great opportunity for all of us here. And thank you JO Sports for being so reasonable and providing the best game used jerseys on the market!

Mine was accepted. A Rams Jersey of former Sooner Eric Bassey. Not a high dollar item but they gave me a great discount. I guess I should have tried to make a couple of more offers but I thought it was an easy way for us to throw an offer to a company for something we wanted other than haggle back and forth. It obviously was a good way for JO to clean out some inventory and for GUU members to add to our collections. A Win Win for everyone I think. Thanks again Chris.

What jersey did you end up with?

Nothing major. I went for the last Bears orange alt jersey that was left:
the '07 Ricky Manning Jr..

Thanks to Chris for helping get these deals done..

Thanks also to JO for being open-minded.

I second the notes above. Thanks.

I will now be adding another jersey to my collection. Good luck to all.

Glad to be the first to say that my offer was accepted. Thanks to Chris for helping get these deals done and for helping to put some nice items into collections where they belong. Thanks also to JO for being open-minded enough to agree to a program like this that allows the collector the opportunity to help determine true value of an item of interest.

Hopefully, this isn't the last time we see this sort of interactivity as it seems to be mutually advantageous to both buyer and seller.

I think the opportunity to obtain more GU jerseys via JO sports via this program was a great idea and i thank GUU ad Chris for hooking it up. I called JO on friday and went thru each shirt was interested in and got all the info i needed to make what i felt was good offers ( although probably a bit low on one eeck!). JO gave me info on the wear, repairs and any other info i wanted on each shirt. I offered on one of the shirts 30% less than list price which was what they had that shirt on sale for a few months ago. lets see if it is accepted. i hope so as the shirt is from a backup player who has done little to distinguish himself although he may play more this season. I will keep everyone posted.

Again thanks Chris!!!

I read this post and shake my head. I do not collect football, I collect NY Yankees and we all know which company handles the Yankees GU. The thought of calling that company and getting any real and useful info on a game used bat, jersey or any item from them wouldn't even cross my mind. It would be a waste of time, and God forbid I should want a picture of the item I am paying a premium for. JO may indeed charge a premium, but from what I have read it seems to me they back it up with customer service.

Nope. Nothing at 6:03 pm Eastern time. But I do expect mine to be one of the offers that's declined.

No word yet.

Re: Anybody's offer(s) get accepted by JO?

Has anyone heard anything? Any e-mails, counter-offers, etc.?

Re: Anybody's offer(s) get accepted by JO?

Is there a deadline for hearing back about our offers? Are we doing the "by 8pm PDT" thing still? I know it was moved to today (Tuesday) because of the amount of offers but I still haven't heard anything, so I was just wondering when people would be hearing back.

Re: Anybody's offer(s) get accepted by JO?

Hello Mulli,

Thank you for your post. I have heard privately from a number of people who are also thankful for the opportunity. However, it often seems the ones who try to see a half empty glass are often the most vocal.

As promised, JO Sports has been very gracious in this program and has done everything they can to try to accommodate the offers made by our members. In fact, I think it is fair to say the have tried to extend themselves as far as possible regarding the GUU member offers.

Specifically, there were a total of 114 offers of which JO Sports accepted 70. There are also 28 offers for which JO Sports has come back with counter offers and only 16 offers that were declined.

I had the opportunity to review all the offers and I will say that I think JO Sports was extremely giving in accepting many of the offers they did. I hope others will join me in thanking JO Sports for what they are doing for members of GUU.

We will be sending out emails on Tuesday to let everyone know if their offers were accepted and/or if there are counter offers from JO Sports. We will also be sending out invoices over the next few days. Again, given the number of offers, we also want to thank everyone for their patience in allowing us the time to handle all the requests that came in.

Sincerely,
Chris

Chris,

As one of the glass half full guys don't get me wrong I think it is great that they did something for GUU members and I wish the other big companies would follow suit and I commend you for doing something for the members.
