This really annoys me - someone goes to the family day, has someone (judd in this case) sign a jumper then puts it on ebay as an 'authentic' item to sell two weeks later. Very low in my opinion.

So is it ok to sell my 1970 Record signed by Jezza ?.....thought I better just check in.
A guy spends petrol and his time getting training, pays ebay commissions,
and you worry or care that he makes a lousy $50 or a little more.
Nobody who is wealthy would bother and this guy may be feeling the financial squeeze of rates, maybe lost his job, or may have had an emergency for all you know.
If he had them for sale every week fair enough, but you dont know him or his circumstances and you choose to criticize him on a public forum

Yes Mr Hack, I do choose to criticise 'him' in a public forum. The poor fella - spends petrol, his precious time getting to training, pays exorbitant ebay commissions - I don't know how he doesn't qualify for a special assistance loan. Just to what are you alluding to? That he's doing it for the good of the Carlton faithful? That he's nurturing the future of the CFC by spreading merchandise so the blue message can get out there? What a humanitarian! How could I be so appallingly blind?
The good faith of the Family Day - I say again - Family Day - is not promoted as 'grubby people turn up to get jumpers signed to flog on ebay day' purely because it's not that. Please don't piss on me and tell me it's raining, I'm not that dumb. Is this 'his' main income stream? Are you telling me that 'he' is doing it to feed his starving children? If that's so I would say 'he' should come and speak to me and I can give 'him' a job. Otherwise - don't come barging in here all smarmy and indignant preaching to me that I should be grateful that someone deliberately chose to use Family Day as a chance to make some grubby dollars while the kids - if you weren't there, there were some of the KIDS there - waiting for hours to get the signature of their heroes while this champion of the people and his cohorts were standing in front of them making them wait, even possibly missing out.
