When I look through classifieds I see an enormous amount of jerseys being sold .....now this in itself isn't a problem but what confuses me slightly is this :-
I have had something like 80 jerseys in my time (probably more) ranging from All American to Aftershock to Nexus and I have but one left, my Nexus one.
I have given away all the others and I gave them away on the understanding (I might be gullible here) that the kids / people who were asking for them wanted them to keep.
Now I have seen many other celebrity jerseys up on classifieds and so...do I assume that everybody asks for these jerseys just so they can sell them or is it just a small minority?

yes, they do...:rolleyes:

I know a good few people that sell jerserys to make money, and I think that is why the pro guys don't give them away to just anyone anymore. Any jersery I have gotten for free, dynasty, all american, philly, miami effect (last year they played) I have either gave to younger kids at our home feild (its funny to see the suprise in their eyes), or donated it to a charity cause. At the Boston NPPL 06 me and a teammate got everyone from Dynasty to sign a jersery and we then auctioned it off at a year end tourney to give the money to a fellow paintballer who had been in a bad car accident and was unable to work because of it that jersey itself got like 400 dollars. I think that when things like that are done it shows that paintball is a community and not just a bunch of people out to make a few dollars to buy their next case of paint.

I don't want any and every jersey, and if i actually got an RL jersey it would take near bankruptcy and an otherwise fully 'pawned' house to sell it..

I wouldn't ask someone for their jersey if I was going to sell it, but if I had to sell it it would only be due to finances. Opposite P.O.V if i wanted a rare jersey and there was no other way of acquiring one, I wouldn't see anything wrong with paying good money for it from someone who no longer enjoys it's company.

From R.P.O.V (Robbo's Point of View):) it would be rude to have someone sell the jersey you gave them as a gift.
