No. Guys here are buying them from the aforementioned site, and reselling them on eBay. More power to them.

Got the WV I ordered today. It is what it is advertised to be. It's not Platinum or Gold but the original (not Douglas) WV. I could take it to my first association meeting in January, lay it on a table and say $70 and I would be stormed (not a good plan). I didn't need it, I am perfectly happy with the CP I have, but for the price I couldn't resist. I will probably just give it to my oldest son. The younger son has the same CP I have so he don't need one.

Thank you "lmathews19" for the inexpensive WV CP info.
Mine arrived today (ordered 12-17-06). Good deal for just over $38.00 total. Probably an old or discontinued model.
Made some strap adjustments and CP seems to fit me well.
Not used to a 13" model as my original CP (many years ago) was 18" and my current Pro 9 CP is 16". I am sure I will "adjust".
Certainly more protection than the "ribbed" type.

Thumbs up
I got mine today.

It's a quality piece. I got two for about $65(free shipping for orders over fifty bucks). Nay sayers can bark all they want, but they're new, great quality, and dirt cheap. If they're new old stock, NOS, you can't tell. They seem quite fresh.

It's great to see that the deal was legitimate and you all are receiving your orders. I'm glad I could help my fellow umpires out and hook them up with probably the greatest umpire equipment deal I've ever seen. I just happened to stumble across it by typing in a google search Sunday evening b/c I was doing research on what type of CP my brother should get, and in the process I was able to hook some of my partners up with a great deal, I'm delighted because of this.

Good luck to you all and Merry Christmas. Be sure and let your associations know of the deal when you have your winter meetings. Being an umpire is not cheap.

Luke

I ordered two, and they are scheduled to arrive next week. I do not really need one, but also could not pass on this bargain (free shipping on orders over $50). My son will get one of them (hopefully it will fit OK, he is 13), and I will put the other one to good use somehow, starting with me deciding if I like it better than my current one. Thanks, Luke, for giving us a "heads up" on this.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. Where on earth did he get the retail price he came up with? I'd love to see his expression after getting nailed with a 90 mph pitch right where the collar protector was supposed to be!
