www.collegejersey.com hits Pay dirt With Game-Used College Jerseys.
If you're looking for a real college jersey, there's one place to turn - www.collegejersey.com
The company, which was founded in 2003, showcases more than 12,000 items on its Web site. Its easy-to-use site offers a wide range of game used and team issued jerseys, uniforms and equipment from most of the top schools in the nation. "All of our items are one of the two," he said. "If the player put the item on, and they went on the field or court for a game, it's game-used. Team-issued means the item had to be made specifically for that program but was never used.” Each of the items are obtained directly from the schools and guaranteed authentic.
As its name would indicate, www.collegejersey.com focuses on college items. “That's our niche. We want to stay focused and serve the customers who want items from the college ranks." It carries jerseys, helmets, pants and equipment, including shoes, pads, facemasks, chinstraps and helmet stickers. "The concept has remained the same and hence the www.collegejersey.com name. You can purchase a complete game used college football uniform or just one item, like a jersey or pair of pants.
www.collegejersey.com offers jerseys from college football, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball and soccer. These include hard-to-find jerseys from bowl games and All-Star Games. "The bottom line is we have hundreds of different schools and bowl games to choose from and up to 500 different items per category" www.collegejersey.com founder Scott Kent said. "No one else even comes close to the width and depth of selection we offer”.
Since he was a child, Kent has been a sports fan, and college sports have always been his favorite. He thought it would be great if he could ever turn that passion into a way to make a living. Then, in 1997, he was searching eBay and saw a college jersey for sale, which began the wheels turning. Having just completed his MBA and having experience running a small business in high school and college, he jumped right in. “I contacted a school and purchased 10 jerseys”. He added his knowledge and did a nice write up about the player and sold them on eBay. The business took off from there.
"We have everything from good quality used items to outfit your local team to high end memorabilia to be proudly displayed your rec room or office. The used items include jerseys, helmets, pants, shoes, pads, chinstraps and other accessories These items sell for as little as .99 cents each. On the memorabilia side, we have everything from an Alex Smith Utah to a Doug Flutie Boston College jersey. There are several great things about collecting or purchasing college game used items. First, unlike the mass produced items, like college authentic football jerseys, you can purchase any number you like. Whichever number you do choose, you can be certain that the item is high quality, because it is literally what the players wore! Plus unlike the pro teams who all were the same basic template, college teams use hundreds of different football uniform designs, and change them every couple of years! If you are looking for a Nike football uniform, Russell football uniform, Reebok football uniform or any of the other dozens of manufacturers, we have them!
“The fun part for us is digging into a new purchase and deciding how to properly market the items. For example, if we get a pair of shoes that were worn by a player of note they wouldn't be sold as basic equipment, they would be sold as memorabilia.” "I work with an equipment room and I buy directly from them and they'll sell me all their shoes. I then piece through them and say, 'These guys have some memorabilia value and this one doesn't and it's more for outfitting a team. In the course of our purchasing, there is a lot of value there where we sell the equipment to somebody else that can reuse it." Kent said when he goes to a university to make a purchase he says, "I'll work with you guys to get whatever you don't need anymore. Sell it all to me in one bulk purchase. I then take that purchase and I decide where to place the items and how am I going to market these items in a way so the customers can best use them. If there are high-end items, they belong on the memorabilia side and we'll market them appropriately. The rest of stuff, say if it's a bunch of shoes, we'll market those to people who are looking to outfit a team or just get a high quality pair of athletic shoes for a great price."
