Did you miss out on a Championship event T-Shirt 2003? Fear not, E-Bay has one! Sz. M

Competition Championship Event

No, this is not my auction. I just found this while surfing E-bay for FIRST memorabilia. And trust me, I have found some cool stuff over the couple years since I started in FIRST.
There were championship pins from epcot (which I got 2 from ebay from 2001 since I missed out on buying one when I was there)
There was a Lego League 2003 Playing Field on E-bay a few months ago.

And now, I give you A Championship event 2003 Houston Texas T-Shirt.

I figure I would post the shirt auction here, for hopes of “keeping it in the FIRST family”.

Thus I give you:

I like that the description says ‘nerd emo vintage’ at the top. Emo? That has um… NOTHING to do with robotics.

Crying because I didn’t get to go to Houston,

Hmm, I wonder if my 1997 shirts from the garage sale are worth anything.

7

I find it funny that they are trying to get 6 bucks for it, I got one for free.

Thats funny, because FIRST wants them back to goto the next regional.

Oh, wait. I guess it isn’t.

So wait… I can make money off of my old FIRST stuff? Wow… that means I could make a quick $60 easily off of all my old shirts! Imagine what a slightly used (heheh) robot would go for… hmmm…

i am winning that ref shirt!

It’s so that the search engines can pick it up. I’m also part of a community called “Tshirt Surgery”, that has people that will take really random shirts (aka the 03 Nats shirt is considered “really random”) and turn them into other shirts, bags, and other things. Words like “nerd emo vintage” are the ones that they search ebay on to get their stuff to alter.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/t_shirt_surgery/ is the link…a lot of their stuff is pretty impressive.

Hey Tim!

If you’re talking about Watzilla - $347.26, but maybe more if we called it “emo” I checked.

I have been telling my team for the past year that a good fundraiser would be ebay and now look, someone has beat us too it.

:smiley:

15

I don’t know whether its legal or not but I’m giving some serious thought to putting all the Microsoft [expletive] the team got on eBay. We’re never going to use it so we might as well raise some money from it.

16

It was a gift. Respect that and keep it.

17

ya totally agree if you start selling stuff that you are given they will stop givening

18

I believe that unused technology is useless technology. Yes, this was a gift, but we don’t really have a use for it. If Microsoft’s goal here was to help teams out rather than promote their products than I doubt they would mind if we turned something we didn’t need into something we need desperately, namely cash.

19

ehh wouldnt be to sure about that. Microsoft gave the product to the team. If the team turned around to resell it then microsoft is losing money, even if its from somethign they donated. Because, the cash you are getting is the cash that they are losing so if you look at it they would kinda be losing double because they donated the product to the team which they got no money in return then they are losing a customer because you sold there product

I wouldnt be surprised if somewhere on the box said not for re-sale

Lots of things sold on eBay say “Not for resale.”
