Dear Sirs,

The other night you purchased a BabeRuth Glove from my ebay account. At the time I was not monitoring the account but my 18 year old son was. He listed the Babe Ruth glove as a BIN for $500.00 and you purchased the glove for that amount and paid via paypal at the same time. This was a mistake. We have recevived 7 other offeres for the glove at a much higher price than what you paid. As such we are resinding the sale and will return the paypal payment to you. So that we are fair with you, we will give you the the opportunity to buy the glove first at a discounted rate of $1,500.00. Please let me know ASAP if you accept our offer.


Dear Ebay what can I do, what will you do?

Dear Mr Murphy

If you want the glove, pay the additional money, if not ask for a refund. There is not much we can do but to tell you, you are able to leave negative feedback

Murph... Crush him on the feedback. It's a Canadian Ruth, ain't worth $1500. Let it go.

I was surprised the glove was listed as a BIN in the first place at that price, considering the popularity of Ruth gloves. What happened doesn't surprise me dealing with neophytes, just the typical ebay BS. The piping on the backside is shot and would need to be redone. I agree the Canadian tag doesn't help it. It is also the cheapest of the RF models.

Not much I can do about but give negative feedback. Tough part is waiting a week for paypal to give me the money back

Seller just emailed and said he doesn't want to risk his 100% feedback and would be sending out the glove. I'm going to take a wait and see attitude on this.

While the glove was not perfect, the great palm markings made it worth the cost IMO

Mike, I thought the RF 3 were a lower grade on this model/childs model

it must be Canadian Babe Ruth Week

was just going to post this link...eh!

Both are post-career, too. Nice stampings, though.

Lot of trouble this week with sons and eBay accounts. Good reason to keep my kids away from the computer. murph, I'm sure it wasn't a mistake and the guy got offers after your purchase and tried and come up with an excuse. I don't know what's worse, the people who try to buy something that was sold fair and square or the sellers who go along with it.

I had flipped the glove ten minutes after I won it. Hate to have to return money

I had a crappy eBay week.

Edd Roush glove that had nicotine breath, a decal bat with a dot matrix background and then this. But this is fun, right?

I have been buying a ton of stuff also that that may be why I hit a streak of bad luck here. I guess these people are doing the same as I am, trying to take advantage of the economy. Only difference is I am trying to do it the right way

Letter of the day

hi, again i am sorry about this, but someone offered me $1200 for the glove, so i am returning your $500, plus another $150, total should be $650, plus paypal fees, total i put in was $675, when they deduct the money, you should get $650 or maybe a little more, again my apoligies, .., jesse



I wonder what tomorow will bring
