I'm getting sick and tired of people using the "bad trader group" just to b**** about not getting their way, or even for eBay matters. That's not what it is intended for. eBay is where you b**** when an eBay transaction doesn't go your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lawyer. If a client came to me looking to sue someone for not selling them a jersey, I would laugh my Arse off and then ask them to leave.

According to him, ME law (where the seller is apparently) states that since he (the buyer) won the auction that places him in a legally binding contract/agreement that the seller cannot break unless he agrees to it. The buyer is not letting it go that the seller had the item supposedly stolen and wants the seller to come up with the jersey that he purchased.

Good luck enforcing it. Unless the jersey was worth thousands and thousands of dollars, you'll spend more just consulting a lawyer than the jersey is worth. 2) Impossibility of performance is a defense to a breach of contract case. This includes an item being stolen. Question becomes, can the seller prove it (i.e. was a police report filed). What was the sale price of the jersey in question?

spudrock512 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 If that is the jersey, maybe he should count his blessings. Just for fun, I tried to find any picture of the Bruins wearing this style jersey, and I couldn't find one. The jerseys with the numbers on the front and back should have the 'B' on the sleeves. Plus, the fonts on the front and back are different. Looking at past classic auctions, unless this jersey had great provenance (which it doesn't), the amount that he paid is way too much. Classic had a Bill Cowley 40's Bruins jersey that sold for just over $7000 and that jersey came directly from his family. That was back in 2004, but still.
