Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So that makes it okay? Adidas supply the kits. They are one of the main reasons the kit sold so much because everyone loves the 3 stripe design. Hearts have done a lot in the past to support and promote Mccraes battalion. They have kept strip prices at the standard price, when they could've bumped it upto 60 quid and folk would've still paid it. Pretty sure an eBay seller was getting slaughtered for selling Mccraes badges and stuff for 2/3 quid. But unlicensed. If hearts and Adidas are profiting of Mccraes then why shouldn't that guy? It is just highly disrespectful imo, I'm more disappointed at the folk condoning it on here now tbh. In a free market society, yes, it is OK.

Hugh Watt Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Its all about supply and demand. Sadly Hearts chose a deal with adidas that was a limited run / job lot rather than a continual supply like your chelsea and real madrids get (probably more cost effective for a club our size)... but the size of the run just wasn't big enough to satisfy the demand. Unfortunately Hearts lose out because they got their predicted sales quantity calculations wrong, but thats never going to stop people wanting to buy it. And the more people that still want to buy it, the higher the price goes when any become available. Its that simple. Hopefully Hearts will learn from this and next year's deal with Puma won't be hampered by any supply shortage issues like there has been from day one with adidas.

scorps449 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah, but they put it on at 99p, can hardly blame the seller if someone offers to pay more. i'm selling mine if we blow this league title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarlos Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you think it's funny or amusing to profit of the late great Mccraes then you bash on. At the wind up, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queensferryjambo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Totally, it's an auction site. If folk want to pay a silly amount for a top its up to them. This 100%. I collect Hearts shirts and have done for years. I try to get mainly match worn shirts nowadays. There are trends on what tops sell for what prices. There was a point when 2006 and 2012 home shirts were very hard to get and lots of people bid on them nowadays you are lucky if they go for between ?10 and ?30. All this auction is IMO is two or three people who missed out on getting a new home top in size XL and are desperate to get one. I would predict a year or two from now they will be going for a tenner on Ebay as well. The seller isn't some rip off merchant because people really want his property and are willing to pay for it. The eventual buyer just really wants this and has the cash and is willing to pay big bucks for it. A size medium could go for sale on Ebay tomorrow and go for ?40 that is just the way auction sites work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the big show Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 People will only pay what they want and are willing to pay and what they value the item at regardless of the price it was bought at , bear in mind the guy started his auction at 99p so if it only reached ?20 would all this have been said had he lost out? so in other words he has took his chance and it has payed of . i have sold many greyhounds over the years and made up to 5 to 6 times what i payed for them , i have bought many greyhounds for decent money and never got half back what i payed when i was selling them, it cuts both ways and it all lies in the hands of what a buyer is willing to pay .

queensferryjambo Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 As I said if folk feel cool profiting off a strip that is in respect of mccraes then fine. To be fair to the seller he or she started the listing at 99p and could have made a loss. Also they do not mention anything about McCraes ets they just listed it as Hearts FC football shirt. I do not think the seller would have thought in a million years that bidders would have been so keen to bid so much on his shirt. Oh and yeah the are flying up all over Ebay. People have the right to sell their property for what they want. IMO nobody is being disrespectful to McCraes it is just someone selling a football top nothing more sinister.
