It's not just postage, there is also this buyer's premium crap they add on. image.png17.84 KBI realise the clubs hands are tied here and had very little say in the matter. The league probably signed a deal to auction shirts exclusively. Flight of the Nix podcast's Alex said there was a MWS office in Melbourne but that no longer exists. So shirts would have gone there instead of having to go to Amsterdam and then back again to those winning the auctions here or in Australia. Hopefully next year clubs will be able to use their own platform or it won't be worth doing these charity auctions until it changes.
So stupid. I hope this is used as an example to never do something like this again. Honestly wished the Nix used a bit of creativity to get around it, like auction off a Ronald McDonald kid drawing and get a shirt "free" with it.
