Default Opportunity to purchased game used lot

Through a local connection where I live I have the opportunity to purchase a nice vintage game used lot. The lot includes his game used bat, Flip down sunglasses, cleats, and gloves. There are also a couple baseball cards and signed pieces.

The whole lot comes with provenance letters.

What do you feel would be a fair offer for the lot?

I would first ask them if they have any idea what they would want for the items. Whenever I am buying something I like to have a start point. The same goes when selling. The friends I sell to in Europe always want to know what I want for an item, usually a desirable Olympic autograph, so they can see where I am versus their possible offer.

The cleats, bat, gloves, etc can all be priced by looking at past sales of similar items. The special item is obviously the watch, might have to do some serious research to find sales of similar ones. Nice little collection.

Similar to what Jim & Michael said. Ask the seller what they would like for it to at least gauge what they are thinking. At worst they get cold feet on a price because they want to maximize a deal and force you to name a price.

But if you look up some recent big-name auction houses for each item, you can get a sense for what each item goes for provided you are in context to the time (30s/40s) and desirability (Fox isn't a household name, but collectors will come for the Tigers/Red Sox association and the period era vintage - so don't compare it to HOF prices). From there you can glean a general value of each item and what you might feel comfortable offering.

If you do buy the lot and plan to split some stuff off, I'd be interested in the sunglasses.

That's an incredible group of Pete Fox personal items. Best of luck to you on acquiring the magnificent lot. No uniform or jersey?

A die hard Tigers fan would probably pay pretty decently for the watch but the rest of the lot would have minimal value IMO. Even the bat is probably only a hundred dollar item.

I'd pay $300 for the bat and a Tiger or Sox collector would probably go at least to $500. That is a really nice lot.

Agreed. And a lot of the value is as an intact player group. It would be foolish to part out the items.

How much would the presentation watch itself be worth? I understand that each player on the Championship Tigers team was presented one that year.
