    I cant believe the mongrels on ebay absolutely disgracing themselves by selling brocky memorbillia at stupid prices cashing in on his passing.....There should be something that can be done to stop this........
    Just proves money makes people do stupid things....Ive got a lot of brocky signed stuff and no ones getting it whatever the price ......its my memories of brocky ......

    Yeah I will never sell any of the Brocky stuff I got signed.

    These people are not fans, just idiots. These people should be shot. I cant believe anyone would sell that quarter panel, its given by Brocky and he i wishing her/him a happy 18th birthday. That makes me sick!

    Ok now this is just getting really f***ing stupid.

    Do these morons actually think, anyone will buy this stuff, for the price they have put on them?

    Just looked at the quarter panel. WTF??? Brocky was sending his wishes to someone, for their 18th and they turn around and put 25K on it?

    On a similar note, I checked ebay for tickets to Irwins public funeral. Didn't find any - which suprised me a hell of a lot. But glad there were none. Tickets to concerts on ebay **** me off to no end - but that'd of been horrible.

    Then to watch the news.. some guy giving his ticket to a kid was so nice.. then a lady gave hers to him for bein such a good guy. Then everyone shedding a tear. Pretty emotional. There's still some decent people out there...

    Scenario :

    You have a quarter panel from one of Brocky's racecars. It has a signature on it from the man himself personally naming you. Someone offers you $1,000,000 for it and you wouldn't sell it?

    Pffft, be real. A million dollars is a million dollars, regardless. The same as in that eBay scenario with the painting, $110,000 is $110,000.

    At the end of the day it's his painting, his quarter panel, his whatever. He can sell it to whoever he wants for whatever he can get. That's part and parcel of living in a free country.

    Whether it was signed by Peter Brock, Steve Irwin or the Pope himself, if it was mine and someone was willing to give me a bucketload of cash for it, they can have it.

    [EDIT : Of course, all this is only my opinion]

    Yes but they put the ad on in the first place.......and without the people even buried properly at a time when true decent people are in a state of shock .... taking advantage of the situation....
    Sort of speaking ill of the dead......not done by real genuine people and a real insult to fans ....of course the world is full of arseholes like these people....

    Difference is, no one has offered this person, the money they're asking for.

    Anyway. Why would you want to buy something, from someone, with their name on it? (Talking about the receiver here, not Brocky)

    smokey_dj, I've got no problem with that. Selling them off because of a situation like that is fine. It's the assholes that list 10-20 tickets at 2-4 times the original price AN HOUR AFTER THEY GO ON SALE! .. I tried to get Tool tickets the day they went on sale - melbourne had sold out (45 mins after they went on sale I was there) and had to resort to getting tickets for the Sydney show way back up in the stands.. only to get home and see the tickets I wanted all over ebay at like $400. It's insane that a business can be made of 'robbing' legit fans. It's even more insane that they sell the absurd amound of tickets in one go..

    </end rant>

    blah blah blah, who cares, no one kicks up a stink when artists die and their paintings sell for heaps, no one cared when senna died that people sold and are still selling memorobilia, brock was just a small speck in the ocean when it comes to race car drivers.

    If people make money because others are stupid enough to pay for it at an inflated price, then more fool they.

    I got one for ya about the tard who was selling the panel. i emailed him and told him how i felt and this is what i got back.

    You mate are a sorry excuse for a human being. Sh!t like that should be kept for personal reasons and not sold to the highest bidder. You are a disgrace to anything that brocky stood for and you deserve to be spat on!!!!

    Thankyou and go fck yourself!

    and he said

    you mate are the sorry fcking c*nt it got sold to a bloke from c.T usa mate cfor the asking price you are the sorry arse the reason it was on here was to show the public but for that price there obviously going to respect it more then us. $20000 more than you got hey heheheheheheh
    f*ck wit

    I rest my case.....:ranting:

    And what sort of reply did you expect?? If you think it's in bad taste don't bid on the parts but why make (what you think is) a bad situation worse by starting a shitfight???

    There was no expectation. What im trying to show is how these people think and give some sort of insight into the reason behind selling this stuff. For the record i never bid on this item i just emailed him. By your response im assuming you think its ok for people to sell there brocky items even tho they are signed specifically to a certian person. If you think like this then maybe your not the die hard fan as you think you are?
