VermontHunter Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I need to replace my binoculars so I'm forced to put something up for sale. Unfortunately I haven't anything hunting related. But, I do have my NFL Superbowl Patch Collection that I have been working on for some years now. This collection is complete up to the current Super Bowl, and the patches haven't ever been touched by my hands ... I have no intrest in opening a NEW Ebay account just to sell this item .. I've done some checking and it seems that each of these patches at the time of thier release went for around $25.00 each and I have all 48 in perfect condition. I would like to get no less than $300.00 shipped or I would consider a even trade for a set of Nikon Monarch 10X42 ATB. Here's what I have to offer .. NFL Super Bowl Patches This amazing collection includes an original patch design for every Super Bowl game ever played. Each is beautifully and intricately patterned with up to 38,000 separate stitches. No mere souvenir or memento, each of these finely embroidered patches is an exact reproduction of the original design commissioned and approved by the NFL. A FREE album is also included to display and protect your prized collection and I will include a second one for future patches. PM me with any questions you may have, and any furthers pictures may need .. Thanks for looking ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 open that ebay account, luke. you'll get that 300 and more i'll bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 open that ebay account, luke. you'll get that 300 and more i'll bet. I would Steve, but EBay requires your credit card info in order to sell on thier site. Tammy doesn't feel that's such a great idea. I personally haven't ever sold anything on EBay but have bought a few things with no problems ... but she's the boss .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartonman Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Are there any ESPN websites, or strictly football or fantasy football websites....did you see if anyone else has one on Ebay....if they do, watch it, and record the price it sold for, and maybe the boss will reconsider........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Have you thought about Craigslist? Selling on Ebay is safe. I just don't like giving them a cut of the sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Selling on Ebay is safe. I just don't like giving them a cut of the sales. Yeah its safe...since MILLIONS do it all the time. But it does suck they get a cut of your sale. You will get your $300 plus probably more there versus here....

VermontHunter Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Are there any ESPN websites, or strictly football or fantasy football websites....did you see if anyone else has one on Ebay....if they do, watch it, and record the price it sold for, and maybe the boss will reconsider........al Just Craigslist that I know of .. as far as Ebay, I did some checking there and they have some patches here and there, but nothing like what I have to offer (complete set with binders) seems they either broke the sets up or never completed them .. Craigslist is a place I've never ventured on, just heard too many horror stories about that site .. I know it's like any other place, I'm just gun shy of that one place .. I've never sold anything on ebay, but have bought some stuff without incident .. If it doesn't go here I may have to pressure the wife some more, I think she really doesn't want me to sell this, but I need a good pair of Bino's .. Just did some checking with seliing on ebay .. If I list my item for a reserve price of $300.00 I will be required to pay a insertion fee of $9.95, for a 30 day listing. And then if I want to post 6 pictures of said item that's another $1.00. Ebay get's 8.75% of the final selling price. So if I sell my item on ebay for the set amount of $300.00, I will owe ebay $47.20 of that sale,, is my math correct ?? Don't get me wrong folks I think Ebay is a great site ,, I'm just trying to figure out the best way of doing this without losing too much ..

Adjam5 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 E Bay is safe Luke. It may cost a bit more, but the exposure to so many prospective buyers is worth it. Oh yeah...and don't worry if you don't have any bidders. Many pro E bayers wait for the last few minutes to snipe items. Good Luck selling the collection.

wtnhunt Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Might try relisting it with a lower starting bid Luke. Sometimes all it takes is one bid on something like this for it to take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
