eBay - Get It While It's Hot

Back-to-back posts!  Finals must be over.  Grumpy emailers, do you copy?

Some more cool stuff for sale on eBay right now, so, although we're getting to most of these things a little late, here's some holiday gift ideas.  Time is running out on these auctions, so get there now.  The auctions benefit a charity doing relief work for some really bad flash floods that happened in Genoa a month or so ago.

The seller claims to only ship in Italy, but the pro eBay move here is to win the auction, and then just get them to ship it to the US.  If they refuse, you apologize and walk away, they'll get the item to the next highest bidder.  These items are small enough to ship via the mail (as opposed to FedEx or UPS) so the shipping will actually only be a few bucks.  Because the items are used, there will be no import duties on them:

Lara Gut's race suit from Soelden.

Lara Gut's helmet from 2011 Garmisch DH.

Verena Stuffer's Invicta DH gloves.

(She skis for the Italian Forestale team, and has some single digit results on her resume, so maybe the fact that you've never heard of her makes these even more legit?)

Lisa Agerer's Italian team Vuarnet hooded vest.

(20 race wins and two 6's.  Yup.  Buy the vest)


Lara Gut's autographed bib from Lake Lousie

Note: This bib is not tainted with the ass-whipping of the century


And, finally, apologies to Dustin Cook for not plugging his 2010-2011 Slalom jacket in time.  Looks like he made out just fine though.  (Not a mark on it, just like his shin guards from the Nor-Am SC)
