My initial thought when your venture capitalist partner mentioned adding it to the classifieds was a silent auction might be a better alternative.
But I found myself wondering what would you do with one ? It would be kind of difficult to hang on your wall because of the size. Then again all you would need is a hanger.
aint gonna be no auction. that isn't why we inserted ourselves into the husbanding of the brand whose assets we purchased. maybe i'm just a severe unsentimentalist, but i've always just thought of tools as tools, and a wetsuit is a tool, not a collectible. i was given a jersey that has the signatures of all members of the pro tour team (including the tdf winner), and when the other jerseys are in the clothes hamper that jersey is what i ride in.
i do have one signed wetsuit that means more to me. the company i sold my wetsuit company to decided to move its manufacturing to china (i was long gone by them). i was given the last wetsuit my old factory made, signed by everyone who worked in the factory i built. that wetsuit is meaningful.[/quote]
I'm not sure who'd want their wetsuit signed...as that is definitely a tool. It's probably worth less now though with Lance though.
