owh this kinda stuff... hey dude i experience the same thing. i was a bit shocked when i saw my own jersey that i sold to a friend, went up for sale on mudah a week after. i dunno whether i should be angry or not, but know i know
u guys might have seen my post, it was last year,
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...168&hl=ac+milanbought it including shipping rm79. sold it to my friend for rm60. he sold it back for rm100!!!
since he really2 wanted it, sold it to him cheaper than i paid. i really thought he's a collector too. summore the size fit him.
summore that guy is my colleague, and i am a regular mudah.my user, how come he has the guts to sell it back like that? so i prank him, acted like a genuine buyer, then FFK him LOL
but still

That's the pain of having those unethical sellers who are main priority is to get profit.
I remember you saying that you were lost just now.. regarding the argument that we were discussing.
To cut short and make things easy to understand.. (no need to give gramma story.. manufacting profit la, kitbag la, mamak la) at first we were angry when one reporter from The Star newspaper wrote something about the World Cup 2010 and was indirectly promoting fake jerseys. Then I added that, we are pissed off with these kind of people (selling fake stuff) but not only that, but with unethical sellers.
What do I and the rest mean about unethical sellers?
1. People who buy cheap and then sell expensively. Like the case you had.
2. Members joining my-fjc, then quietly sniffing the infos in the forum (spotted deals, bulks, bargains) and then misused it by buying them (small quantities or bulk, doesn't matter) and then re-selling them at ebay, mudah.com.my at crazy prices.
Example: Recently there was an ebay seller selling some Player Issue jerseys from the Nike Warehouse Sales in 2009. They were originally sold for £39.99 (shipping fee £8.00). Total: £39.99 + £8.00 = £47.99 or RM230++
Then this unethical seller resold one of it at RM750
How many % profit this seller gets? You do the maths...
No need to debate on getting it directly from supplier or what. Clearly we can see.. this kind of seller is so greedy.
Example: Whalloping the rare patches sold at some sellers like at wiggysports.co.uk (rare AXA Fa Cup Patches, retro The Football League patches) and then reselling them at mudah.com.my or ebay. Profit margin might not be that high but it was unfair because the info was first shared in my-fjc forum. There were some members who wanted it but were too late or didn't have the chance to do so because of these unethical sellers who pretend to be jersey collectors but were more to sellers (in fact, some of these people never even showed their collection).
Sometimes I wonder, should we impose a rule that new members or existing ones must show off their collection to gain their trust in the forum (that they are genuine collectors not profit hunters pretending to be collectors)? It's harsh because new members who want to learn this hobby might not have one... So it's a bit hard to apply.
So we had to act fast and ban these kind of members from the forum. Warning was given though beforehand but were ignored.
That's what the argument is about mate.. Hope that we can educate ourselves and others to stay away from these kind of sellers.
