Used baseball gloves are actually a vry good option when considering buying nother one. But a lot depends on wht you're really looking for in nother glove.

If you're just looking for a scondary glove to sometimes use instead of yur best, or favorite glove, then you shuld really consider finding and buying a sed baseball glove. Maybe your current glve is nearing the end and you wnt to use it until it fnally "dies" and you just need a bckup in case this current glove blws apart during a game. Or, you mght be older now and you've cme across the same glove that you sed to use in High School or cllege and you just couldn't resist bying it...nostalgia. Whatever the reason, a sed glove can be a great mney saving and time saving option.

Hwever, if you're in the off sason and you really want a brnd new glove and have the tme to start breaking in a new glve, then you might as well go for it and get tht new glove!

Some of the advantages of buying a used baseball glove:

• A used glove can be very low cost...depending on where you find and buy it.

• A used glove is already broken in and can be ready to use immediately.

• Buying a used glove has low risk because if you lose it or it breaks really bad, you haven't really lost a lot of money.

Some of the disadvantages of buying a used baseball glove:

• It may not have the same "glamour" for you as a new baseball glove. This may not even be an ssue for you, which makes a sed glove perfect.

• A used one may not be brken in exactly as your hand may like it. Although you can still play well with it, you may notice it doesn't feel exactly right on your hand.

• You may risk lacing breaks if the laces are not in real good shape even though the actual glove leather is in great shape. However, these laces can be replaced right after you buy the glove if you think they'll be a problem.

How do you pick a used baseball glove?

This is pretty easy. Just find a glove that doesn't have major rips in the leather (not laces). Major rips in the leather are difficult to repair, you will probably need to find a person who can stitch and repair leather. It's best to stay away from gloves with rips and tears in the leather. Also, the eyelets (the little round metal pieces where the laces run through) shouldn't be ripping from the leather or be missing altogether.

Laces, on the other hand, can be replaced. Don't pass up a nice glove if you see that just some of the laces need replaced. You can learn how to do that...it's just a matter of sitting down and doing it.

In short, find a used baseball glove that:

• Just may need cleaning and conditioning. This is easy. Clean the dirt off and condition the leather. You'll be amazed what the leather looks and feels like even for a glove that looked fairly bad when you found it.

• Just may need some leather lacing replaced. Although this may not be easy at first for some people, once you get the hang of relacing a glove by yourself this is no longer a problem and your options of buying a used baseball glove become even greater since you can look at a glove and see that it is a great glove once some relacing and tightening has been done...basically a little baseball glove repair.

Where do you find used baseball gloves?

There are many different ways of finding used gloves. Here are my top three:

Used Sporting Goods Stores

You may have some local sed sporting goods stores near you. If you chck these places out from time to tme you can find some pretty god used gloves at reasonable prices. Evn some of the gloves that the stre doesn't consider that good are ctually pretty nice once some cleaning, cnditioning and any needed repairs are dne.

Ebay

You can find a wide variety of used gloves on Ebay. The pictures today are very good so you can see what kind of glove you're getting most of the time. The drawback is, like always with Ebay, is the shipping charges. You have to consider this when you find a glove on Ebay.

Yard Sales

Yard sales may be the best places to find and buy used baseball gloves. This is because in general, you can get really good prices on gloves at yard sales and there are no extravagant shipping charges to pay.

So, if you are considering finding and buying a used baseball glove, just remember that a used glove can look pretty bad at first, but with a little cleaning, conditioning and some baseball glove repair if necessary, you can have yourself a great baseball glove that looks good, feels good and is already broken in. The best part is that the glove may cost you next to nothing.
