Lou Gehrig rookie era game used bat on Ebay

[doug.goodman]

I often make offers on ebay items, and often my offer is considerably lower than the asking price. Usually, my offer is automatically turned down by the seller, I assume that means that a seller can set a minimum for offers that he / she will think about.

I made an offer of $1 for this bat, and it was not automatically denied.

I don't know what that says, but I find it kind of funny.

If I read the Q and A at the bottom of the page it looks like he turned down an offer for 125K the more I think about this the more laughable it becomes.

Don't look now, there is also a Babe Ruth bat listed with loads of provenance and a COA.

An eBay seller can set a minimum, so offers lower are automatically denied

If this joker is so darn sure this is a REAL game used, Gehrig rookie year bat, why doesn't he get the guy who authenticated the Babe Ruth bat that sold for $1 million dollars to authenticate his bat? Then why don't he consign the bat to the same auction house that sold the Ruth bat?

The seller lists the Ruth bat as an example of an authenticator having to do some research to PROVE the Ruth bat was real and original.

I mean, if he is THAT confident about what he owns then why not follow the SAME path that ANOTHER person did (and who got rewarded handsomely for doing so)?

My guess is he KNOWS his bat is NOT a Gehrig game used one an jsut wants to HYPE his (TSA) authenticating company as much as possible and get the free publicity.

Oh yeah, when looking at what this seller has listed on eBay (big ticket items authenticated by TSA) and then doing research on what he has actually sold in his completed items, I find it funny that the highest priced item that he has sold has been for $153 dollars.

My favorite part (in response to a "potential bidder" question):

Take your time ask any questions that you may have im not rushing here and do you know why its because well to be honest with you $100,000 is not really a lot of money i spend that much monthly and now you know. So im not easily impressed by money i know what true power is and its not money. Do you know what is like to be stuck in the desert for 3 1/2 months without any way of going to the store to buy water and having only one bottle of water for those 3 1/2 months. The same bottle never ran out thats right so please you lol you probably think 2 million dollars is a lot of money or how about 20 million its not enough compared to the true riches i know of. Have a good day.
