The_Dude_Abides Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Since there's a thread for customization laughter...thought I'd start one about pricing laughter. Some of these folks are clearly on the drugs. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/142039558669 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 The seller of the Stevens jersey has purchased jerseys from me in the past, most recently as of a couple months ago. Mostly concentrates on replicas but sometimes authentics and very, very rarely gamers. Some of the stuff he buys is to keep, but he also buys to flip a lot. For the prices I have sold stuff to him he would have to either charge quite a bit or keep it. In regards to this thread, this thread can get very messy very quickly. I know there are jerseys out there that are very obviously overpriced, but there are times where people like to comment that a jersey is way overpriced when the asking price is only slightly more than what the general value is. It is all relative and I can see this being abused by some who don't know the value of certain jerseys. I am into gamers with a focus on Devils, but that doesn't make me an expert on Canadiens gamers so I do comment on the value of those, but others would.

He's bought a bunch of my stuff over the years as well. I don't think he bought this particular one to flip, since it was so long ago. And I agree, he usually winds up buying things for around what I would consider fair market value, so at least as far as my stuff is concerned, there's not a lot of space to flip. EDIT: More of my former stuff listed by him as well, including one that I believe had an intermediate stop elsewhere.

I got what I think to be fair value for the jersey and god bless him if he gets what he is asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common occurrence on Facebook. That's a pet peeve of mine. That sort of stuff is probably one of the top 2 reasons that fights start. I know most sellers want to get maximum value, but might as well put a price that is a little more than what they are looking for and just put "asking $XXX" so at least there is room for negotiation.

amonte78 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Is it me or are those prices on Blackhawks gamers offered on FB groups a little too optimistic? I mean $1500 for a 10/11 Brian Campell gamer? $7500 for a mid-80s Al Secord? I mean, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevinShow Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Because the team is popular and demand is high so they can jack the prices up because they know someone out there will pay it. It makes me sad because it basically guarantees that I won't be able to afford a Blackhawks gamer anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's buyers asking to bid against yourself. The long-time collectors know never do ask that. It is mostly newbies and flippers who ask that question to me. Had a guy once ask me that on eBay when I had something that had a best offer option and I told him to make a reasonable offer and the worst I can say is no. I think my asking was like $250 and he put in an offer for $50 so I just shot it down and didn't bother to counter and immediately blocked him.

Whenever I get frustrated with collecting Devils gamers and think asking prices are out of line, I just take one look at the prices Hawks jerseys are going for and feel a lot better.
