    However selling and trading occurs because people want to skip the ebay fees, same as with auction houses.

    I fear if there are fees, especially significant ones people will not use this avenue....they will either go back to ebay or a new site will pop up.

    A good example is there used to be a local website here where people shared info on autograph signings.... it went to a pay site...and since then 2 other free ones have popped up.

    You all do a great job and i love this site, i think $ can be made on advertising and the auctions...the trade and sell between members, i feel, should be kept free.

    These are my opinions, i mean them in the most positive way.
    You make a lot of sense in your post. I kind of feel the same way, but as long as the fees arent too bad i would still make a few posts. If they are steep then good bye GUU. Maybe the people that are looking to buy items should just post them in the WANTED section and seller can find them that way. This of course would take a lot more time on both ends but in the end it would be free. Maybe somebody should start a new GU site.

    Not so much of a problem that the for sale section is not up, but the silence makes me feel like I am dealing with MLB.com. I know there was a time period where the new system would come out, but I think that date range has past.

    Simple update would not be bad for the MANY posters that use this site daily and ENJOY the site instead of the cold shoulder.

    Once again AWA85@live.com if there is anything new.

    Thank you.

    It has been a while....I am sure the other members wont mind a few bugs in exchange for having a forum where we can trade...even an outline of the system....pretty much anything at this point.

    Beyond just wanting to have another resource to buy from, the Items for Sale section drives traffic and helps maintain the interest of all the members and attract new members. That is a common goal of the GUU and the members. It would be great to hear something- even if they are not going to bring the section back at least people would know where it stands.

    Well,it was me who won it at $64 (I max bid at $105). I found this photo prior to bidding which made me go for it.

    If I ever sell it I'm making a note to call you.

    Brian,
    How about a Blyleven and Jack Morris GU Jersey to sell to a fellow Twins collector? What do you say? It would end up in the right home.

    Bryan,did you see the recent ebay Jack Morris G/U Cleveland jacket that was for sale? I forgot that you collect him.
    I did and it killed me not to bid. Especially after seeing what it sold for. However I had to make sure the Twins TATC jersey ended up in my collection.

    From 9/4/2007:

    "After the consignment auction ends, we will be launching an enhanced platform where people can list items for sale on the GUU site. We will explain more about the upgraded platform in the near future. As for now, we will simply say the new platform will be much more beneficial to collectors and especially potential buyers looking for legitimate merchandise."

    It certainly appears the new platform is the consignment auction. And if the auction isn't the new platform then it is time to get a new software programmer. I miss the old days when GUU wasn't a business.

    Quit wasting your time on this site and sell your stuff on eBay.

    These people have been pulling your chain for months now.
