Re: Chris Boyd's Business Practices - Part Deux

No offense but I wouldn't pay $400 for a Bagwell jersey even with a letter straight from him with a picture of him wearing it, unless I knew someone would buy it from me for much more!!!
To get to the facts here yes you overpaid no it is not a crime to overcharge someone it happens everyday and is part of capitalism. One person has something someone else wants and they come to a price the person who wants it will pay. It sounds like you two did this as far has his "source" in this industry you have to take a lot of everything with large grains of salt. Read the book Operation Bullpen it will teach you a lot. Tony Gwynn once said if you didn't see him sign it with your two eyes then he didn't sign it. You can't believe everything in this industry that is why 90% of Ali's and Jordans on ebay are fakes and 99% of Obama's on ebay are fake you just can't trust everyone. All I can say is learn from this and educate yourself and hopefully it won't happen again.

Classic! Everyone hates drama on this board, yet this thread has over 1900 views vs. Aroid threads that have 900 to 950 views. Board drama always wins!

You want "Fair Market Value?"

Put each Bagwell item on eBay with a $.99 opening bid and see how much you get

Re: Chris Boyd's Business Practices - Part Deux

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

Re: Chris Boyd's Business Practices - Part Deux

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

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.

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

Re: Chris Boyd's Business Practices - Part Deux

My only demand is that people act fairly and ethically. And that they be held accountable for their actions. If that is ridiculous, then I am saddened by your definition of what fairness is. I sometimes wonder why I waste time with people who don't share my sense of what moral is.

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.
