Exactly. There's no need to be all that skeptical of very cheap items, like under $20 maybe more or less depending on your situation and the item.

But stuff that's going to be 10,000? Or well over 100,000? I'd want to really do my own checking on the item to spend that much.

On second thought.....Nevermind. I just realized I have the backup glove in my attic. Also for a right hander, also a kid size catchers mitt. I'll take a big hit and let it go for $75,000. Or maybe $75 if you ask nice.
