Now I've seen it all

[Mr.3000]

I know the seller is a member here, this is not an attack on him or his item...it's merely an observation and my point of view.


This seriously has to be the most disgusting and disturbing thing I've seen since making the decision to collect game used memorabilia.

As soon as I saw it I called my wife to come see. After having a good laugh together she said..."If you EVER think of bringing a nasty piece of (explative) like that into our home....don't come home"

LOL I love my wife.


Not sure how anyone (male) could be proud to own an article of clothing (game used or not) that's rubbed againt another mans genitalia for the better part of a day.

Come on. The Cardinals sold URINALS from Busch Stadium which was fairly disgusting. To each their own.

Some people like oddball (pun intended) items and maybe the seller is using it for publicity for his other game used items because as they say bad publicity is usually good pubicity~I can see this making National news!!! If Fig is smart, he should make a call to ESPN or spend the money and put out his own Press Release on PR Newswire.

So don't be pissed off, its at least been washed!

Maybe he should change his user name to "Fig Leaf" sports?

I'll bet A-Rod's wife wins it.


Then she'll immediately have it taken by her attorneys to a lab and have it tested for Madonna DNA to help her in the divorce settlement....

Re: Now I've seen it all

Am I the only one who thinks jock straps just aren't easily displayed? How ballsy do you have to be to make a case for this item? If it sold well, would you get cocky?

And on a side note, why doesn't JJ Putz sell his jocks? Seems like a natural combination, Putz and jocks.

I'm going to stop writing this post now, before you all think I'm nuts.

... as they say bad publicity is usually good pubicity~

Sorry, AllStars, I shoulda posted when I read your clever play on words. But I thought you could maybe hear the loud groin from all the guys on the board.

Honestly Andrew, I am lazy and missed it. I am cockeyed you know.

Re: Now I've seen it all

how come you didn't get a model to wear your game used piece like the AMI girls?

don't you need a mannequin for the display?

you can build something to hang on the wall what wood would you use....how about wal-NUT.

couldn't resist

Re: Now I've seen it all

I'm petered-out from reading all of the puns in this post.

It wasn't too long before the listing got an offer.

[TFig27]

Re: Now I've seen it all

Haha. Read this email I received:

Dear tfig27,

You recently listed the following Fixed Price listing:

190312760845 - ALEX RODRIGUEZ Game Used Worn JOCK STRAP Jockstrap


Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because the following information violates our policy:

For health and safety reasons, used underwear cannot be sold on eBay.


Adult items that are not appropriate for people under age 18 must be listed in the Adult Only category. Also some items -- like used underwear -- cannot be sold on eBay because of health and hygiene concerns.

Re: Now I've seen it all

It's a shame that eBay had to behave like this toward an upstanding member. You don't have to be a whiz to see how their business model works; I slip something in your pocket and everyone goes home happy.

I only wish this could have had a happy ending. eBay was premature in rubbing out this listing.

Re: Now I've seen it all

As much as I might think the idea of owning a players jockstrap is disturbing, to say the least....the idea that someone here took the time to complain to Ebay is even more bothersome.


Just wanted to point out that though I may have started this thread and disagreed with "owning" another males jockstrap....I in no way had issue with TFig or his auction.


It's clear someone read this and complained to Ebay....and it was not I. That's a little overboard. I doubt the individual will have enough stones to admit to doing so. Sad.

TFig, if I saw this as the outcome I wouldn't have started the thread. Unfortunately, some can't have a good laugh without taking it too far.
