JoeM7392 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 He had a size 56 Devils home at $145 for whatever reason Just that one Correct. Had to take advantage of that one. I asked if he would send me a 52 instead since he had both and that fits me a little better, and he said he would. It shipped today so we'll see what happens in a week or two. Whatever size shows up I'll be happy at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furiousd Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I've only been selling on ebay for a few weeks, and I have a seller etiquette question for you guys. I sold an item on Sunday, buyer hasn't paid yet. He says his card was stolen, which is plausible I guess, but he has only communicated when I message first. Should I open a case and start the unpaid item clock, give him a couple more weekdays to get his card situation (if true) ironed out, or what?

Griff Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I was thinking about this one, but the shipping cost is ridiculous... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1967-68-Minnesota-North-Stars-Game-Used-Pre-Season-Jersey-19-Bill-Masterton/301833528220?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140620091118%26meid%3D1f5b759b75a74f97a375a08482f329f2%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D371497497328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not with insurance ,in Canada you can only get 2000.oo max and that will cost you at least 10.00 mor more not sure what FexEx can do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I was just kidding. If I had $35,000 for a jersey, $70 for shipping would obviously still be too much, but wouldn't bother me. Just to clarify I don't have $35,000 to spend on a jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Honestly, I'm pretty sure that MeiGray or anyone else takes more than 10% on a consignment, so that shouldn't be an issue. The chances of someone buying a $25,000 jersey at all is slim, but if it were a Gretzky or a Lemieux that was rare, they'd have a better chance. Masterson's story has a certain panache but not $25k worth. Further, the seller's story about how they were used by the Stars, then a minor league team, then a bantam team...sounds fishy and I'd need a ton of supporting evidence to corroborate it. I mean, at the end of the day you could be buying a game worn banter team jersey from some kid, for $25k! Good news is, free shipping now so Griff no longer has an objection.

SnakeOiler12 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I would agree with MFitz's assessment, in that eBay's commission structure of 10% is probably among the lowest of your choices as a seller. I've never sold on GameWorn.net for example, but I would assume their commission is likely higher given the extra 20% they tack on to purchases. Does anyone know what their commission is?

Griff Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Good news is, free shipping now so Griff no longer has an objection. Still $70 for me - must be because I'm international. All the way up in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Maybe they're hoping someone sees the auction and makes an offer outside feebay. 0 commission that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 When I consigned three or four auctions ago, it was 15% + $25 per item. Is that 15% taken out of the 20% buyer's premium? Surely the auction house doesn't keep the 20% and also charge the seller an additional 15%? Or do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Wondering if anyone has bought from these guys before? Seems like a good price. Hoping to get a better deal if I get blanks...looks like they use twill name bars. Thanks fellas. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301823913526&alt=web I know some people were interested in hearing about this guy. I got my jersey in today and it exactly what you would expect, a legit 2.0 with no flaws of any kind. Seems like a really nice guy too in the brief communications I had with him. If you're on the fence about it I'd say go for it, can't beat some of the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just checked my invoice, and the 15% was taken from the hammer price, no buyers premium added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow_hound Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) The way it works is Buyers Premium gets charged by auction company to the buyer. So buyer pays a fee to purchase from the auction. Also, seller is charged a commission fee and a flat item fee for listing. So the auction house gets a buyer premium payment a seller commission payment and a seller flat item fee. Seller commission is deducted on auction closing price EXCLUDING the hammer buyers premium. So if you consign to sell for $1000 and it sells for $1000 with a 15% commission, seller gets $850 - flat listing fee. Buyer pays $1000 plus hammer fee and taxes and shipping.

The_Dude_Abides Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Any reason why a Pro Player jersey would have Starter style size tags? Seems odd... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281896819681&alt=web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloS76 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) It's not a Pro Player jersey with starter size tags, it's a Starter jersey with Pro Player branding. If you look at the close up shots, you'll see that the jersey is made of Starter knit. Edit: though to answer your question, it's got something to do with one company buying out the contract of the other. Someone else will probably know better than I do.

I wonder if that makes it super rare or an odd ball? For $25 it looks like a nice jersey. Would make a nice Burke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I watch a couple of sellers with astronomically (for the hobby) priced jerseys and dream of sending them a one word message: LOL. Seriously, I am amazed to see some of the two hundred percent markups and perpetually relisted items. Some people are very patient. I tracked one jersey for about 5 months, it wasn't even overpriced, it was fair, $85. I didn't really need it, but I'd take it if the price was right. I e-mailed the guy and said, very cordially, I know you've been trying to sell it for months, if you have any interest in moving it, I'd pay $65. If not, sorry to bother you. I never heard from him. Roughly 2 months later, it sold for his opening bid price of $85. He waited and he got his price. It is, as said above, totally different than the guy perpetually listing his $100 jersey for $300.
