    What is a fair price for a Bagwell, just so I know?

      That seems to be a continuing issue...you feel that people are wrong if they dont think the way you do. I think you are wrong for feeling that way. Which one of us is wrong?

        Plus, if it makes you feel any better, I once spent $225 on a game-used Military hat worn by Tony Gwynn.

        Yeah, not the Tony Gwynn who had 3,000 hits. But his kid, who still can't play worth a lick for the Brewers.

        It wasn't a good purchase at the time. Now, it's even worse. I don't feel good about myself. I often wonder what the hell I was thinking. But, we live and learn.

        If anybody wants to buy a Tony Gwynn Jr. game-used hat, I'll give it to you for $230. It's actually fair market value, if you consider what I paid for it. I even have it photo matched.

        Aw, heck, first guy or gal who offers $200 for it, I'll take it!

          The problem is that people in our society can get away with whatever they want and not be held accountable. A-Rod can get away with cheating, because he's only human. We forgive rich athletes for anything. And Chris would be able to get away with anything, because he has more money than I do.

          Lying, misrepresenting one's sources, etc. are all wrong actions! Thank goodness that not everyone in this world is like Chris Boyd. Perhaps I was naive to believe that Chris Boyd could become fair and ethical and not have business practices that are immoral.
          The ridiculousness I was referring to was your demand of a refund. You know that as well as anyone else reading this thread. Your severely overpaying for an item has zero to do with A-Rod, how much you earn, how much money Chris Boyd has or ethics.

          Buyers remorse hurts. I am sure we all have tasted it at one time or another. But it doesn't entitle any of us to refunds.

          I suppose it's time for me to chime in with the masses and ask that this thread please be locked. This thread is far past pointless.

            But, seriously, before this gets locked up somebody really can have the Gwynn Jr. hat for $200.

            OK. I've stopped being productive here. I promise I'm done posting in this thread. But, again, you can have the hat for $200.

              I'll give you 750.00 for it even though the fair market value is probably somewhere closer to 12.00 and 3 bottlecaps

                Way less than $1000 for a jersey. Very good player? Yes. Superstar? No. However, you are a Bagwell collector. You ultimately set the price. You were happy a year ago. A year later, you decide your not happy. It isn't fair. Not to be offensive, but you have the college-age idealism. I had it too. Twenty years later, and I understand how things work. Nothing ultimately appears wrong with the deal. This is how business works.

                                for the money he charged you, he should name his next child in your honor. how could you in good conscience charge her that much? i think you took advantage of her regardless even if she begged you, she was uninformed and you just bled her thats just my opinion
