The “Linsanity” over the New York Knicks’ breakout superstar Jeremy Lin is making itself known online, as witnessed by the sales of Lin t-shirts and jerseys on popular online retail and auction websites.
Not only does Amazon report Lin’s #17 New York Knicks t-shirt as a best-seller, currently sitting at #12 (Update: It rose to #11 by the time I hit the publish button) in their “Top 100 in Clothing” category – having spent the most-recent “6 days in the top 100” – eBay is also tracking the Lin jersey fever, even for teams where the favored player only played one game.
For example, this Erie Bayhawks D-League #17 jersey – a jersey Lin sported during a sole game for the Erie Bayhawks when the Knickerbockers "sent Lin down to their D-League affiliate" – reports USA Today – is currently up to a bidding price of $4,200 – with 6 bidders warring it out in 19 bids thus far.
There are a little more than 4 days left on that heated auction, the same time left for the other two auction items the Pennsylvania team has listed on eBay for sale.
The team, listed as ErieEliteBBall on eBay, has also placed this so-dubbed “Jeremy Lin authentic Erie BayHawks NBA D-League game-worn shooting shirt” on the auction website, which has gained one bid of $750 as of this writing.
The third and final item listed by the same seller right now is this Jeremy Lin authentic Erie BayHawks NBA Development League practice jersey, which is faring better than the shooting shirt and enjoying 3 bids that have pushed the jersey up to a current bid of $1,025 right now.
With four days left in the “All I do is Lin Lin Lin” Linsanity eBay auctions, it will prove very interesting and noteworthy to learn how high the final winning bids rise.
Do I hear $5,000 in the corner? Sold!
