Me and the other 125 million people who use eBay will.

It's not gouging to sell something for what the market will bear.

It's also "worth" something to the seller to sell it for a lower price to help out someone. That "worth" varies by person and is generally higher if the buyer is in the same association and lower if it's a stranger on the internet.

You guys are talking past each other just because of your past history.

And, in the sense that you wanted me to moderate the forum, from where I stand most of the blame on this thread falls on you, Kevin.

Hmmm ... okay.

I've just never been one to walk away when someone is being picked on, and I seldom back down when I'm having my words, thoughts and intentions picked apart or twisted. I started out objecting only mildly to this guy's selling of this mask, but the more I read it, the more insulting it became. And I was far from alone. So I weighed in a little heavier, and it was disputed, and I answered. Sorry it got silly.

I suppose this thread is one thing, but this history involves a consistent pattern of disputes that I have not had a hand in starting.

Open for starting bid of $100: Clean Mizuno Mask

Used hollow tube light weight, navy blue Mizuno Mask with black Mizuno harness and famous Mizuno "golden-M" brand name patched onto the front of the chin pad velcro strap and one famous Mizuno "golden-M" stitched onto the harness. One of the first lightweight masks from Mizuno to hit the market, if not the first to hit the market. Sold as is.

I paid $15 each for a group of ten masks available ten years ago when the MSRP was $49.99 or 59.99 each {Wilson brand also available}. Its probably worth $100 to someone willing to pay that much for a Japanese made/brand mask made 10 years ago. A value addition to any mask collection. You can't go "skimp" on protection.

Buy it now: $200, free shipping and I'll throw in soft velvet cloth, drawstring storage bag to hold and protect personal valuables {glasses, watch, wallet, keys, etc.} when mask is in use. Bag may double as soft polishing cloth.

Serious offers only!

You can call it whatever you want. I just put it up for auction and people can pay as much as they are willing to for the product. This mask auction is no different that the Riddell Power protectors which sell for $400; they are considered cool and it is worth spending a lot of money to look cool to the buyer.

Just an aside: Why did you create new user name to do this?

Hey Kyle,

Do you use shirts with the State Assn. patch?
