Do your research before buying and don't screw good people over due to your own buyer's remorse. I don't think it's buyers remorse tbh. I think he is just an idiot/ignorant and decided to blame the sellers for said ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontYardSpecial Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 From what I understand, he is some dude on Twitter who takes requests to search for jerseys online. I don't think he has any special insider knowledge or hookups. He just searches for people who don't have the time, knowledge, and/or patience to browse sites on the internet (like eBay, Facebook, Reddit, etc.) and charges them something like a 10-15% finders fee. I personally don't get it. For me most of the fun is in the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to agree, although I have offered a finders fee on a vintage CCM big block red and green Devils jersey in size 56 or larger. It hasn't helped.

LAK74 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Quite a few people on reddit post their findings by TheJerseyFinder, and they’re often just ordinary replicas you could find anywhere, but the posters seem to feel like they’ve found the Holy Grail or something. I’d also guess many of them probably just don’t have the experience or knowledge, or are so worried about buying fakes, that they don’t want to find them on their own.

I started following that account recently. Like you said, anybody can find what he's posted by just doing a quick search on ebay. It's mostly just cheap replicas but sometimes he links to authentic's that are honestly not that good a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenAnnesRevenge Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I wish my ‘holy grail’ (as the reddit folks seem to like to say) was a $25 replica also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjerina Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 The reason for him and a bunch of other "people" (err, bots) doing this stuff is because you can register here and get a commission if someone buys an item on ebay via your links. https://partnernetwork.ebay.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best is when the Grail Day comes in the form of a Thrift Shop find of some random replica for $25. I love seeing those. I wish my Grails were that cheap.

Devilsguy Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks as I was wondering whom he is since I see him all over that Reddit and on twitter. I didn't know if there was more than him finding $50-100 replicas for high school and college kids. Yeah the hockeyjerseys Reddit is a good source of comedy these days. It used to have a good mix of gamers, authentics and replicas but now it's just people calling replicas grails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I dont understand how there are "What are your opinions on autographs on gamers" post weekly, but few posts or comments about people who wear their gamers and wash them. Personally, I don't care either way regarding autos or if someone wears their gamers, but if you wear your gamer and decide to sell, it should be disclosed.

Devilsguy Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yet another group was recently created on FB but this time in addition to gamers, authentics and replicas, fakes are also allowed. We have officially reached rock bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 If someone asks you for a picture of the LOA there is a 0% chance they are going to buy. Literally happened 5x in the past month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
