Contacting goon-gear

     Today, I received a message through my hockey sweater Web store http://webstore.com/~goongear

from one on my readers, asking how they are to get in touch with me. Unknown to the reader at that time, he did exactly what he should have done. He went to my Web store and posted a question through one of the existing listings. I do not list a direct e-mail address on my blog site for the simple reason that spammers and other clowns with bad intentions like to take advantage of such information. My Web store is all set up to alert me via e-mail immediately upon the receipt of a customer question, and I usually respond rather quickly, so please feel free to post questions through any existing listings, even if it is not regarding that particular item. In the case of the aforementioned reader who had a question, it was regarding one of the jersey photos in the right margin of this blog.

     Photos in the right margin of this blog are ALL of items that either are currently for sale in my Web store, or have been sold through my Web store. I list the photos to give readers a visual sampling of the collector-quality sweaters I sell. If you wish to view all current listings, please visit my store by clicking on the link for goon-gear’s Rare and Vintage NHL Hockey Jerseys in the upper-right corner of this blog. If you do not find what you are looking for, please feel free to contact me through any one of the existing listings. I network with many other collectors, and chances are that I can find virtually any authentic, or replica your heart may desire.

     I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Goon-gear’s Rare and Vintage NHL Hockey Jerseys

     In addition to our usual informative hockey sweater tidbits, occasionally we here at goon-gear feel it is ok to shamelessly plug our own offerings. Since leaving Feebay many months ago, traffic for our jersey sales site(s) is entirely up to us. While Feebay, by virtue of its name certainly provided plenty of traffic for us, they also took ALL of our operating profit. When you have to fork over a combined 20% of each sale to Feebay, and Pay Pal (which is also owned by Feebay), business becomes a breakeven proposition at best.

     In our never-ending quest to generate awareness to our leaving Feebay and starting out on our own, not only can we be found here on our blog, but we are now also on Twitter. Goon24 is goon-gear’s Twitter account ID, and our Web store address is http://webstore.com/~goongear

     For those of you who have not yet conducted business with goon-gear, here is a little glimpse into our business. Goon-gear has been buying, selling, collecting, trading, and customizing NHL authentic and replica sweaters (jerseys) since 1991. We sell only old-school jerseys, i.e. rare and vintage NHL jerseys. In short, that means pre Reebok (the 2003-04 season and earlier). We sell new and collector quality pre owned NHL jerseys from CCM, KOHO, Pro Player, Bauer, Starter, Sandow, Sand Knit, etc, NO REEBOK garbage, PERIOD!  

     We are not in business to sell quantity. For goon-gear, it is all about quality. If you are looking for garage sale garbage at trailer park prices, you are in the wrong place. If you are tired of the inflated prices, and fake Asian sweatshop counterfeit hockey jerseys on Feebay, try us. We do NOT sell knock-offs, counterfeits, etc… Part of the reason goon-gear left Feebay was because the Asian sweatshop counterfeit jersey market drove the prices of real jerseys into the ground. Customers were being burned so often that they stopped buying, and honest sellers were paying the price. When you see a 1994 Messier Rangers Stanley Cup jersey being sold for $59 by a sweatshop outlet, a real one that is worth $300+ becomes worthless, UNLESS you know the difference.

     Do not fall for counterfeits, and do not waste your money on Reebok garbage! You get what you pay for! If you really want a jersey that everyone will envy, and one that will last forever (with proper care), then buy an old-school CCM or KOHO jersey! Stop by our web store at http://webstore.com/~goongear and have a look! If you do not see what you are looking for, give us a shout. Goon-gear has MANY more jerseys than what is listed in the store, and if we do not have your jersey, we can probably get it, or customize one just for you! Buy from a trusted source that knows the NHL sweater business, buy from goon-gear! Our web store link is in the upper right hand corner of this blog! We hope to see you soon!
