Jersey question

Just a couple of tips about buying jerseys on Ebay.

1. Probably 75% of them or more are not official merchandise, but are marketed as official. So what's the difference? Sometimes you'll find that the font is slightly off or that the sleeve logos might not be exactly right, etc., but other times the knock off is an exact replica. If having a fake doesn't bother you, no big deal, just pay close attention to the photos and make sure everything looks right.

2. The advice to wait until 1 minute before auction close is dead on. In fact, I suggest using a free service like www.auctionstealer.com that places your bid for you automatically 10 seconds before auction close. I've used it for years and won every auction I've ever tried as long as my max bid was sufficient.

Good luck!

 

19 bucks isn't really that bad for shipping. They build in their own handling charges, which usually includes having to go down to the UPS place or post office - which as most of us can agree is a major headache.. Lotsa companies charge handling above the shipping costs as well..

 

Auction stealer eh? I buy and sell stuff on Ebay and always wondered how some buyers were so perfectly attentive to the last 60 seconds of an auction.. I'll have to check that out...
