Game used item you're tired of seeing.

[Swoboda4]

Within the hobby there invariably are items that for some reason,remain constantly for sale,even though as time passes,the sellers should get the message that no one has interest. I will reveal a few of my favorites. But first,what are yours? Which item,who's listing price has accumulated to never match what profit the seller could finally realize,is your favorite?

Re: Game used item you're tired of seeing.

Great topic! This one is my favorite:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990s-PENN-STATE-Game-Worn-Used-College-Riddell-Football-Helmet-BRANDON-SHORT-/360459766319?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ed138a2f

OK, where to begin? First off, seriously, you want $2500 for a game worn PSU helmet from a nominal NFL player? Really?? That is assuming it was actually his? He's about $1500 to $1800 overpriced right there.

Second, and my biggest issues. The facemask does not match one Brandon ever wore. He even shows pictures to confirm this! He claims the helmet was made in 1992, yet it has a 1990 re-certification sticker? Finally, the #43 he keeps pointing out written on the inside with a sharpie means nothing other than that was the locker tag assigned to this piece of equipment. Go to CBS auctions and you will see PSU NEVER assign locker tags to correlate with the players actual #.

Ridiculous price, inaccurate player and am I just tired of seeing it listed !

This jersey has been around ebay forever and considering Ichiro's demand I am shocked it has not been picked at a reasonable price by a Japanese collector. I can only imagine the seller is being ridiculous with their demands and does not care if it sells unless they can make a boatload of a profit!

That seller's stuff has been around "forever" at exorbitant prices. And I've heard that he isn't one to budge too much.

Re: Game used item you're tired of seeing.

again...its probably the 20 dollars for shipping after paying 99K that might push potential buyers over the edge.....

All game-used bats! I wish someone would create a thread for bats. I get tired of seeing newly acquired and photo-matched bats. I'm sure the rain of hatred is about to pour down on me for this comment.

Glad someone mentioned this jersey. I actually had a buyer for this jersey
and I can't remember the exact number but I offered somewhere around
$12-$13K for it and I received a reply saying how insulted he was by
my offer.

Recently this jersey was being offered on the Japanese auction site
with a reserve with no takers. That's usually the last straw if he's
serious about selling it. Now every Ichiro collector has seen it which
seems to me is his true intention. Most of the top Ichiro collectors in this world are
customers of mine and although they all agree its a nice jersey, its been
sitting stale on the market for so long its no longer desirable. The average
Japanese collector who wants to make a once-in-a-lifetime Ichiro game used
jersey purchase prefers #51 with ICHIRO NOB. The advanced
collector wants something rare that they can show off and brag..not
something that's been sitting on Ebay for more than 2 years.

Judging by his item descriptions, looks like he's using EBAY to show off
his entire collection but I like to use "highest price" as my search query and
I'm sick of seeing this jersey constantly on top so can someone just please
buy it?
