Hi everyone,
As you know i'm a huge Penrith Panthers fan so I was excited to see that they were auctioning off the players indigenous jerseys via eBay for a local charity.
Now the auction below was for "Nathan Cleary's Penrith Panthers Indigenous Round Jersey"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nathan-Cleary-039-s-Penrith-Panthers-Indigenous-Round-Jersey-/112407752715
Most people on first glance would have thought its Nathans Panthers Jersey worn in the Indigenous Round? When you go into the description it states:
"Penrith Panthers player's cut NRL Indigenous Round jersey signed by Nathan Cleary"
Now wanting to make sure I sent the Panthers a message today on Twitter and got this reply:
So to the person who paid $1001.00 for essentially a signed Nathan Cleary player issue jersey.....congrats on supporting a great cause....but for $160 you could have bought an indigenous jersey and had Nathan sign it at one of the many club appearances the team does.
Basically the same thing.
Had these been the proper match worn jerseys, id probably be selling a kidney to buy some of them, but in this case, im glad i did the research and saved my money.
Cheers
Matt
