I made the mistake of saying to my coworker that I couldn't wait until all this Jeter hoopla was all over and done with. From her reaction, you would have thought I suggested exterminating all the fluffy kittens and cute puppies in the world.
Marketing ploy to pull in people to buy the crappy plaques and photo collages, ready to be hung in middle-management offices and man caves across New York City.
What a deal!
They're not even offering it in Georgia red.
I like that it comes with a warranty. You know, just in case you spill something on it they can replace it with another game worn uniform from the same game.
This lifted my spirits today.
@editorkid That's brilliant
@editorkid much enjoyed
@editorkid Much appreciated.

So what you're saying is he had a shitty game?
@BillLehecka 1-4 would be a fairly mediocre game, really.
In for 3 !
If Amazon had sold this during seligman, I'd surely have bought it and an inflatable doll for the Meh office.
How much extra would it cost to have it dry cleaned?
The $1755+ sales tax kills the deal.
Maybe they should throw in a speaker dock.
Can't blame Woot for trying to make a little extra dough. As I said in their forums, I doubt that they purchased this to re-sell. Too much risk. They're probably selling it on consignment for some sports memorabilia retailer. Hell, if some reputable company came up to me and said, "Your website has way more exposure than mine. Will you broker this sale for me and I'll give you 15%?" I'd be all over it. Free money, basically.
I could be wrong, though. As I have no clue about Amazon/Woot's internal resale practices.
@jsh139 stiener sports, dba the devil
@somf69 I don't know much about the sports memorabilia racket. Are they really bad? At least this proves my theory, that Woot is selling this stuff on consignment.
@jsh139 On woot, items other than the main item on pages (and moofi) are sold by third-party sellers.
@LionMan Drop shipping is the best shipping. /sarcasm
I would have been in for one @ $25,999.98, but at $25,999.99 it's no deal.
@shawn $5 shipping killed it.
@Thumperchick @shawn and they couldn't even be bothered to wash the uniform...
@shawn they should have just priced it at $26,000
@DaveInSoCal Well you know how much cheaper it is a penny less (we had a thread on that somewhere)
Looking at the dirt spots makes me think he slid into some poop that day.
What if your wife washes it????
I was going to buy it, but then I realized I needed two pairs of pants to properly clothe my Derek Jeter centaur statue. Meh.
