Yeah. I didn't think the Falcons sale would draw too much interest.

Honestly I prefer to just sell at market value. Some teams seem to be worth more (SJ, Red Wings, Kings pants, etc) so they can fetch higher prices. Others are sometimes just average priced. It seems that thats easier nstead of selling for how much you got it for + finders fee.I've got an ettiquette question...
What is a fair "finders fee" for getting a pair of gloves for someone?
Personally I would just ask the person to cover the cost of the gloves plus shipping, but that's me.
I just want to know what I should offer someone else if they get something for me. Just because I don't expect a finders fee doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

I think finders fees are more about the buyer who can't make it to the sale, rather then the person actually going, so they offer it because 1.) they've been searching for something for a long time and finally have the chance to obtain it so they're willing to overpay for it or 2.) they want to get someone's attention so they can actually get their items. There's plenty of people who buy for others and even more who don't or are unable to help others out at that time.
I've helped out a few members when I've gone to sales. I obviously appreciate if they throw a little something my way but I don't expect it at all. I usually tell them to cover the original cost + shipping. That way you also have a friend and a person who can help you out if they're going to a sale and you're not.

I've been to the Habs sales numerous times and I usually get there an hour and a bit before opening however dupes and his buddies are always there before me! I'm usually within the first 10 people who get in. You enter through the team store and then into the concourse. Tables block off the area and each set has a specific item. I usually go with some friends and our rule of thumb has always been grab whatever you can that interests you and if anything we can trade with someone else or just out it back after. I imagine all nhl teams accept cash/credit/debit.
As for finders fees, I bought some stuff for thinkingjack at the habs sale and all I asked was for him to cover costs plus shipping.

Well in Montreal, the sales starts at 9 and ends at 12 (I think). Usually within the first half an hour you grab everything that interests you, go to a corner and try stuff on.
