I don't know how true it is but I've heard as much as a hundred bucks offered for a base. Now my bet is those coaches are serious competitors in league and tourney play but those guys are probably serious about their bases.
Jim and Tony Jones was over my house working out with me when my cell phone rang, it was a coach who buys top dollar everything in this hobby, the coach offered me $800 for my league team bases (46 total), he was ready to put the money in my paypal account right there, I said no with out thinking twice,.............I guess it depends on the coach, I was never into customs that much, but love bases bigtime, I spent so much time on those bases that I just couldn't sell them,...........offcourse Jim and Tony told my wife (in front of me they did this) smile, my mouth dropped, I didn't know what to say when she ask me did someone offer you that much for bases.

P.S. 2006 Buzzfest, a coach comes to my room, asks me how much for my noseguard, I not wanting to sell him said $60, 2 seconds later 3 $20 dollar bills fell unto the board, I looked at him and shook my head, I couldn't say anything even though I didn't want to sell him.

P.S. Back in the day, the $100 dollar stories are very true.

P.S. Serious competitors is a true statement.
