The seller's had a cold drink and he's 'avin a giraffe. They usually go for £25 give or take. Strangely enough, I was talking to a badge seller near the ground at our away game with Carlisle back along, and this badge came up in conversation. I mentioned I had been on the lookout for one, and loe and behold he pulled one out of his pocket and sold it to me there and then.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 19 August, 2013 Author Posted 19 August, 2013 Seen them go for £25/40 but never seen one with the makers name.
RonManager Posted 19 August, 2013 Posted 19 August, 2013 Seen them go for £25/40 but never seen one with the makers name. I've only ever seen mine and it has that on the back. I shall watch with interest!
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 19 August, 2013 Author Posted 19 August, 2013 same as that, pricing mistake perhaps?
Jimmy_D Posted 19 August, 2013 Posted 19 August, 2013 I have one like that, but without the maker's name on the back.
John Boy Saint Posted 20 August, 2013 Posted 20 August, 2013 Some of these regular sellers that are more like shops on eBay will jack the price of an item just to keep their listing count up and which counts towards their better position higher up the search order is maintained. Someone I know does a bit of this trading and he explained it along the lines above, when I questioned in conversation that Heston blokes Waitrose Christmas Pudding with a Crystalised Orange inside being on eBay for £200 yet most of the others were on at £15-£20.
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 August, 2013 Posted 20 August, 2013 I've only ever seen mine and it has that on the back. I shall watch with interest! Ditto
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 21 August, 2013 Author Posted 21 August, 2013 Asked seller if this was correct price......no reply.
Huffton Posted 21 August, 2013 Posted 21 August, 2013 Wasn't made by a local comapny? Outrage! Bates OUT!!
sussexsaint Posted 21 August, 2013 Posted 21 August, 2013 Something to do with fees being waived for repeat listings or something. Lots of items on there for stupid money I initially.
doggface Posted 21 August, 2013 Posted 21 August, 2013 I think that is an amazing badge. Best I have seen. If we modernised just a touch and got rid of the "supporters" bit and replaced with 1885 or something that would be a huge winner to replace the existing one imo.
Donny Saint Posted 21 August, 2013 Posted 21 August, 2013 I've got one but the red and white colours around the outer edge are reversed (white at the top and red at the bottom) and no markings on the back. Can't remember how I came by it, probably belong to my Dad.
red robbo Posted 22 August, 2013 Posted 22 August, 2013 ive got one no makers name got it off my uncle
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 22 August, 2013 Author Posted 22 August, 2013 i have around 400 plus.....i know, saddo.
SaintBobby Posted 23 August, 2013 Posted 23 August, 2013 Have to buy this. Worth £10,000 surely once we've branded properly in the Asian market?
