Sounds a bit dodgy this site, money these shirts are going for on the bids (£247 for Cooper) you could buy at least 3 more shirts from the shop.

Then pay to have "O'Hare' and 10 printed on the back, put a signiture on it and sell 1 for every game O'Hare plays in one of those shirts for more than what you spent on 3 of them.

Club needs to try other means now DHGate is on the scene 🤣
 

I signed up to the site a while back, loads of hidden fees... 20% VAT plus pricey postage and handling fees etc.

I don't doubt they're real but would much rather they raffled them off or something, give everyone a chance who can't afford £100s for a shirt that might not even be match worn (as quite a few are just match issue).

They’ve come in and taken control of a market so fair play but 30% in fees/VAT that’s a fucking piss take.
 
In 1974 Tony Currie and John Hope organised the training for a football team for the Hyde Park pub in Dronfield which I joined.
John Hope acquired a full set of shirts from BDTBL and emptied them out after a training session. Obviously there was a big fight for the number 10 shirt but I was delighted to get Woodys’ number 7.
Later I passed it on to John Garrett.

The Sheffield Steelers have four schemes every match.

A Shirt off your back raffle. Buy raffle tickets. If they correspond with the ticket on a particular match worn shirt you then collect the shirt for that particular ticket post match.

A money raffle. Big money to be won every game.

Chuck a puck. Try and hit the mascot with a rubber puck in the centre of the rink during the break

One signed programme every game that entitles the winner to meet that player post match.

United should look at copying some of thosr imo. They work well and seem to make good money.

Worth noting when the MWS partnership began players seemed under strict orders to not give them away in the games where they knew they’d be auctioned. That now seems to have dropped off with players wilfully giving them away. Seen it mentioned 4 players gave them away. It’s hardly helping the partnership when that players shirt is then up for auction.

Yes most players wear 2 shirts in a game but some poor sod is gonna buy the Hamer shirt thinking he scored a worldy in it when that shirt was given away.
 
Oh they appear to have removed some of the shirts now, including Hamer. Although a Hamer ‘issued’ shirt is still on there.

It's really poor form that the bid is ex VAT. Buyer's fees are standard in auctions and you'd expect to pay VAT on that too but the bid should be VAT inclusive.

They used to auction the shirts after the games, some of them went for some big money. Even the blood shirts were 70 or 80 quid
 
It’s a concept I struggle with as someone who is in this sector. MWS have form for pushing out match issue shirts etc as people above have mentioned players don’t and the game with their shirts always.

The question mark for me is how sustainable is it there are potentially 50 matches and 50 shirts who by the end of the season. Who is still looking for the 50th Souttar shirt?

United made a similar point themselves when addressing autograph hunters. They said autograph hunters were essentially undermining the market value of shirts. That this was harming charities etc as the shirts the club gave them weren't as valuable. At the time our autograph hunters had proliferated and people were getting them to sell on ebay etc.

I kind of get it for a ‘special’ match, but who the fuck really wants big Kieffer’s stinking match shirt from an average league game against nowt opposition, enough to spunk hundreds of pounds on it?!

Sounds like from the comments that they aren’t genuine ‘match worn’ anyway. Probably bought from the club shop, worn by some sweaty, fat old gripper as she plods through a Joe wicks video with the heating on full blast. Given a quick blast of lynx oriental to make it seem authentic, before it’s bagged up and flogged to some simpleton with more than sense.

Don't know if true or not but seen people saying that alot of the bids are fake/placed by the company themselves to inflate prices.

I’ve never heard that but I know a big Liverpool collector though who’s bought from them and had trouble.

It’s about like eBay in the way the MWS don’t get the shirts. They get listed, auctioned and sold and then it’s on the club to send them.

You would imagine Liverpool being as big as they are have this nailed down but like was mentioned further players swap/give away shirts and sometimes it’s taken weeks to get the shirt and in some cases the sale was cancelled.

People who don’t care about this will question what the fuss is about but take away the collecting element and look at it from an investment pov. A blades shirt from a game v Derby is never going to be money spinner but look at the Maradona shirt if it was proven that the shirt was from the half where he didn’t score the hand of god the value is 10% the sale price.

AC Momento had a condition where the shirts they were auctioning came from the first half of games, again many won’t know but I’d imagine even our players get a fresh shirt at half time.

Roma have a QR code where you can scan and it gives you info on when and where the shirt was worn..

MWS do get the shirts. The current auction listing will be updated with real photos once they receive them from United. That’s how it normally happens anyway.

But given they’re based in Holland it’s hardly a glowing report of their carbon footprint given they’ll be sending most of them back to the UK - probably Sheffield.

Maybe I misunderstood. Maybe he meant it took Liverpool ages to get the shirts to them then?
