brockys ebay opportunists

[wes_v8]

why would they even sell them? if i was them i would keep it, i got a few things signed by brock and there is no way they are going

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.

ive only ever sold concert tickets onece and thats only cause the 2 ppl i had goign with me had to bail for a family emergency over seas so therefore i would of been out of pocket but i do see what you mean though my sale was just a legit thing i think from mem i even slod them for a lil less than there value and that was after postage ect

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]

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..

i got a plate off ebay ages ago. one with Brocky and his VL commodore, only paid $50 and there was one on ebay that went for somthing like $925. i would never sell it though. if anything that was put on ebay b4 his death not a problem but things like minutes after it was on the news, that p!55es me off

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 wonder how many items on eBay are forgeries ?

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?
