If anyone was thinking of bidding. Hope you’ve been saving your pocket money :O

my phone says site not safe.

Why not make it £2.50 a go PER SHIRT i'm sure you'll get over 10000 people playing and it would make more money and everyone a fair chance and enter as many times as you want 4 tickets for £10.
It's raised only £8k so far, which is not a loty if you think about it.
I could Never afford the shirts at the prices so that's me out.

I'd love a poppy shirt but I'mm afraid to say those ones are well out of my league

 

[Jack Russell]

Some alarm bells ringing for me.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Some alarm bells ringing for me.

Why?

 

[Yamalroite]

What amount do these usually go up to?

 

[Jack Russell]

Why?

Having done some research on the internet.

Seems genuine. Searching shows that Royal British Legion is linked with them.

 

[Flaneur]

What amount do these usually go up to?

Raul's went for above £2k last year I believe

Some alarm bells ringing for me.

Many years ago, my boss made the observation that "You wouldn't believe anything, even if God told you, until you had checked it out". He was quite right! We live in an age of fraud and scams. I cannot define what I am not happy about with this although it does seem a bit fishy that they have every shirt from the Leicester game including the subs. How authentic are they?

I would certainly not risk any money on one because there is this element of uncertainty about the whole thing. Also, not a single dissatisfied review? There is always someone who is not satisfied when it comes to reviews. It is not difficult to set up a batch of favourable reviews.

I am not the oracle, but I am not satisfied with this. Apart from anything else, I would not be prepared to pay those prices for a sweaty used shirt. The prices for new, unused shirts from the club are way over the top for a 'tarted up' T-shirt, so these prices are ridiculous in my eyes.

It should be understood that these are my personal feelings and I am not trying to impose my thoughts on others. The water may look inviting on a hot Summer's day, but how cold is it? what is in it? how deep is it? etc.

Is there something about this that you do not understand?

 

[KBWWFC]

Didn't say you were, but you've just done the equivalent of seeing a dog turd on the pavement, and rather than sidestepping it, you've rolled in it, screaming about how much you hate turds

Hope that clears it up

My phone still says sites unsafe, so I'll wait for the dog's owner to clean up the ****.

Yep
Those pesky royal British legion lads are trying to steal your pennies xx

I’m sure these are genuine as wolves publicised it.
The 2 reasons I won’t be bidding are:
The shirts are not washed after the game. I know it being “match worn” and not washed may be a positive to some collectors. But if I’m paying a grand for a shirt then i dont want sweat and mud. Rauls shirts seems to have a rather large mud stain on.
Secondly, a lot of the autographs look very badly smudged. Rui’s is really bad.
I do like the fact that they are signed on both the front and back. But I’m not paying a grand to have shirt where everyone will ask why it’s covered in mud and the signatures are smudged.

The site isn't the British Legion, it's an outsider they're using.
Danger is third parties being able to access your details: passwords, account details etc.
Not me saying it: it's my pesky phone's system trying to stop my pennies being stolen by others.

I made the mistake of thinking that you were a grown-up. Clearly that is not the case if you have to resort to this level of degradation.

Rui wears gloves though

would you worry about them being unwashed if the shirts were from the woman's team?

The sale of Bolton shirts has now finished. Most of them sold for £80.
Liverpool shirts still have 16 days left to go. Salah is £2736 and Jota is £1884.
KEVIN DE BRUYNE is £4028

To be fair, you really didn't give a solid reason not to trust it, and your first posts were shady suggestions of something being wrong without making it clear it was just your opinion, giving the impression you might have a good reason not to trust the sale.

 

[Yamalroite]

Now grown up and every thing, well sort of. I struggle to understand why someone would want a sweaty shirt signed by someone potentially half there age.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Unwashed shirts in the middle of a pandemic? No ta.

Post #13 states my case. That is my case, not the case. There is nothing else.

It is for a fantastic cause, so far prior to this year 2.3 Billion pounds had been raised from the sale of the poppy shirts for the RBL

Surprised at those figures Mendes hasn't got involved, 2.3billion wow.

 

[Supadavewolf]

I'm confused.

Which Wolves player owns a Jack Russell dog that has done a poo someone has trodden in?

 

[Me Babbies]

For those of you wondering regarding authenticity a few years ago I bought Big George's poppy shirt, from a BL auction of similar type. He was a sub in the poppy games and never came on the pitch.
The shirt came with a full certificate of authenticity from the club all above board.
Top player shirts went for around 800 quid at that time.
Our global reach was nowhere close to what it is now, so I'm not surprised if this year's shirts go for a couple of grand or more.
