Opinions on Gil hodges game used glove

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Haha you are 100% right. I just like buying off eBay because they protect me at least. I already told the seller refund me and keep 20 for his baseball little leaguers. I have good intentions and am glad this forum is here filled with people like you. As you see, I look out for the fellow collector as well when things pop up on eBay and I shoot PMs out, so thanks for helping me out in return with the opinion. Guess I'll keep chugging along and looking for the next diamond in the ruff, cause that's what makes me wake up in the morning.

So this was on eBay?? You worked out a deal, without knowing what you are buying, and now within hours you are returning it. It's a good thing ebay offers such good buyer protection. Stephen, you do this all the time - please just be up front and disclose information if you come on to this forum saying "please help", and expect people to bail you out. You are just wasting everyones time when you don't. I know you don't want someone to snatch it up from under you, but when you say "I just picked this up", most people will look on ebay and see the auction anyway - so just cut to the chase. Best of luck!

Did the seller offer a return policy off ebay? In my limited experience, I have not been able to get a refund when I took a risk and had a seller end early. Consider yourself extremely lucky if he's willing to refund.

I did not work out the deal OFF ebay... I just had him lower his BIN price from 750 to 250.

He already refunded me, and I donated 20 of the refund to his little league program.

That makes sense then. Ebay makes it easy for the anyone to buy stuff, and ask opinions later. Was the $20 for the seller, less the shipping he had to refund, and the cost of the label to ship back to him?

No I never made him send it. I bought it last night, told him wait, and then asked for a refund when people on this forum helped with advice. I just simply donated the 20 for his youth baseball.

I was not trying to hide anything. I do almost all my buying on ebay. If you thought I was hiding something I apologize. Yes I worry about someone snatching things up from under me which has happened about 4 times when I posted on here lol that is why I buy first then ask, as I can always return on ebay.

Nothing personal but could you please post your eBay ID?

Why would you need my ID?

Blocked bidder list. Like I said nothing personal but you buy things and then decide to return them on a very regular basis. I am sure I am not the only one who would appreciate it. My wife does the same thing on Amazon and it drives me nuts.

My first red flag on the glove would be the guy said it was from 1955 or 55 as you stated. That was the year they won the World Series so I know 100% that anybody in there right mind wouldnt sell a glove from 1955 for 250.00 of any of the players from that team especially a Hodges glove down to the bench warmers. I see you are a collector of Brooklyn stuff don't you think that would be unrealistic a glove from the 55 season for 250.00? I'm sure the guy selling it would have done some research to know what he has before listing it and throwing out a wild number to list it at. It always seems people use the "My Grandfather" or " Came from an estate sale" to make it sound legit when they know it isn't . I always laugh when they use the "My Grandfather got it" when it relates to a Babe Ruth autograph. Just my 2 cents on this post.

My grandfather's estate wasn't worth squat.



He was a nice man though.

I get offended when you say I do this all the time.

I have made over 300 purchases for over 50K this past year and only posted 3-4 things on here for advice.

How about this? Post yours and I won't give you my business I promise. No hard feelings.

I do like how you only got offended by me saying you do it "on a very regular basis" but when someone else said "you do it all the time" that was OK.

I rarely sell on eBay but this is my ID vicsd please do not buy and return an item from me because you have buyers remorse.

Stephen,

You do know that people can search for all of your posts? Since you have joined, many of your posts have been asking for help and advice. I think that you have been called out on this in the past as well?

I don't want to be caught up in your battles, I just think that you should be honest about your involvement on Net54.

Jeff

I am obviously aware that you can search my posts. Yes I ask for help. What I am saying is that I bought a few baseball cards back in February which were fake and that is documented on here (I believe 3 of them) and then recently got burned with the photos (which I like) and the glove. Oh and that fantasy gehrig piece which I keep on my desk till this day to remind me to research first. I do not understand why some people on here get so uptight about me buying and then asking for opinions. I have done business with a lot of people on here whom I still talk to and text to this day. I guess it may just be an age gap thing as to why some people get so upset on here. I move fast as do a lot of the people who collect in my generation. I act first and ask questions later (as long as I am protected) because honestly I have picked up a few great pieces by doing this... Yes, I'm still sour about that Royals Robinson pin which I posted on here before purchasing that sold for $250 3 minutes after I asked for opinions. Whoever did that on here had no problem doing it so that is their method I guess (lay low and pounce quietly) much like mine is buy first and learn along the way by asking questions after. I have lost no money by doing this and have harmed no one in the process. They people who were selling these items were the deceptive ones not me. You ask about my ebay ID as if I get buyers remorse. What I get is not buyers remorse. I have never bought something "REAL" and then returned it ever. I only return fake items. So as long as you are kosher on ebay you would have no reasons for me returning anything. It's basically a way to keep the scammers from getting over on me. If it's too good to be true it probably is (however I lose nothing if I am protected).

Sorry for the rant, however I just don't understand why I am met with backlash for simply asking opinions on items. I buy them to keep not to resell anyways. It's not like I'm asking you to buy it from me. I would just like opinions to see if it is worth keeping and I would have no problems returning the favor for items I am knowledgeable about.
