It looked like the mood of people after the game affected the bidding as the black jerseys went for a lot less then I would have expected - there were a good few bargains picked up on the night.
Joeys black jersey actually went for around £400 iirc (it was his white that went for £1200 the previous week)

It's not the money though. It's is comparative value.
I just find it odd to pay so much for something that really has very little value. Don't get me wrong I'm more than aware of it being that persons choice.
There extremely unlikely to make a profit on eBay or to be honest anywhere, more known NHL autographed game worn jersey's make less. In fact some of the stars can be bought for not much more.
I think the point Electro is making is a personal observation which everyone is entitled to have.
I agree it was a crazy amount of money to spend. However, it's that persons money, so crack on.
Interestingly, I was speaking to a fan who remembers a shirt going for £3,000 back a good few years ago. Says he spoke to the person that bought it recently and its in the airing cupboard. Made me chuckle :lol:
Each to their own Electro.Most collectors have no intention of selling them on so they pay what they do to own the shirts they want.Sometimes the auction goes high but that's the game.If they can afford it then who cares?
I have spent too much many times but it's not hurting anybody.The club benefits and the buyer gets what they want.It's a silly hobby but then so is blowing your cash at the bookies or in the pub.I choose not to do that and happy that what I spend I can afford so I personally don't give a damn what other people think.
I agree with electro. Especially when you see on the marketplace, paid £200, looking for £80. Madness. But then we all choose to spend our cash on different things and there isn't one of us here who hasn't wasted money. So.....
I guess my point is being lost, has nothing to do with how much cash a person has or how they're choosing to spend.
My point is, if someone paid £1k for a turd their crazy or ego's got in the way of commonsense.
It is the value others place on an item that can justify the cost, if only a minority of people want an item and are willing to pay far more than the majority, that makes it a crazy decision to overpay. Usually it's rarity against demand that drives value.
