Team of the century‏ signed football price?

[Michael]

I'm thinking of bartering with this guy who has a signed 2010  Team of the century football. It has all living members of team of the century.

Before I make the trade, I was wondering the price of the football if you were to buy it. Thanks

He never supplied me with a picture. I'm going to ask him now.

Not a big football fan, Michael. Who were a few of the names on the Team of the Century?

[bigwull]

it would also help if we knew what shape the ball was...spherical...o r one of those egg shaped things...

I did a little bit of research and found out it is worth around 2k.

That's good for my first barter; don't you think?

I would get it checked out if possible beforehand. $2K for a football is a lot. The condition of the signatures will matter, and if it has no paperwork authenticating it, then the prices drops considerably. There's a lot of factors with sports memorabilia that can make it tricky. And that $2K number...is that the asking price or the sold price?

I will get a picture late tonight. The 2k is the price I would have to pay if he were to sell it to me but, we are trading.

On the email, he said he has COA.

Ok. Just trying to make sure you don't trade a bunch of stuff for a low quality or possibly fake ball. But if the COA is legit, then you should be good.

Yeah, thanks for reminding me that. I do appreciate it that you're giving me the tips so I don't dig myself into a hole. I think it's legit.

Also, this guy lives down the coast from me and it's a few hours drive away. Is it possible to trade through the post?

[rockandrollrods]

It is possible, but you run a major risk that the other party changes their mind or "forgets" once your end of the deal is done. I've got a buyer from Craigslist right now that is mailing me the payment on some vintage flatware because we're about six hours apart. They don't know me from Adam. I'm honest and will of course mail them their package, but I'm a little surprised at how fine they were with sending me money and never at least speaking to me on the phone first. Not with something like CL with it's no accountability anyways.

[bigwull]

you rarely see phone numbers listed on Ebay...yet people send their money willingly...to complete strangers....so its not a strange event....
