Title: I have some Kansas State fan memorabilia items I'd like to sell
Post by: Cyclone42 on July 22, 2012, 12:07:06 AM
I have a coworker who had an ex-husband who left her with some K-State fan items, and then up on died on her before she could give them back to him. She convinced me to take them, since she really isn't into watching sports at all, K-State or otherwise. Anyway, I would like to sell this stuff, since to be honest I am an Iowa State fan, not a K-State fan.

I have an ebay auction active for this stuff, but if anyone is interest, message me and maybe we could work something out.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300742955067?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300742955067?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649)

The best item in the group is the leather jacket. It is 100% leather on the outside, and not suede leather. I have looked for this jacket on the internet, and have been unable to find it, so I am reasonable convinced it is a fairly rare item.   The brand tag says "College Phase by Excelled".

The rest of the collection is as pictured in the ebay auction, except for some items that are not pictured. These include a seat cushion, a couple of shirts, and a mini-poster (looks like a photo taken from a plane or a blimp or something) of a Kansas@KSU game on October 28, 1995, titled "Record Attendance".

I have been asked about selling the jacket separately, but honestly I would like to get rid of all of this stuff, and would like to not be stuck with the rest of the stuff after selling just the jacket.

I know "weird post" is a cliche here, but right now I feel like this is the weirdest post ever.

Also, please post an isometric view of the mini-bill if you want me to buy it.

how bad is the water/mold damage on the items?

The jacket is the worst thing in the lot. 

Where did the rest of the ex-husband's estate go?  That's probably where this stuff belongs, not with you trying to turn a $165 profit off of EMAW.

Hey Mark, did the dead guy fill your need for a capture card, or had you already grave-robbed somebody else for one since 2007?

Mark's coworker isn't really a power supply fan either, so he turned this baby into a cool $9.  Her ex doesn't need SATA in hell, right?

whoa, whoa, whoa. you guys aren't insinuating that mark killed his co-worker's husband are you, because if so wow. i mean it definitely seems plausible though.

Well, I mean, look at his explanation.

I have a coworker who had an ex-husband who left her with some K-State fan items, and then up on died on her before she could give them back to him.

"up on died on her?"  Is that the new "yada, yada, yada, he's dead and I've got a jacket for sale?" 

My theory is that 'clone42 subscribes to fanning's take on working with women, and well, the dude's dead.

You always hear about killers leaving clues and wanting to get caught.  Maybe BeanTownCat has some input here?

Well, well, well.  Seems that our suspect was a pol sci major with an emphasis in FOREIGN POLICY.  Terrorist?  What sort of heinous plot could this jacket money actually be going towards?

The jacket is evidence for now, and will eventually be returned to the victim's family. Forget the jacket.

Yeah, good call. I would've had to pick up an extra shift to pay for it anyway.

You guys are weird. If you would like to file a police report on me, go right ahead and do that. As if having a collection of sports-related items makes me a likely terrorist.  :)

If you want the truth, a really attractive older MILF at work talked me into buying this crap for $230 (the rest of what I said was true), and now I am desperate to unload the crap without a really stiff loss. It is all in really good condition (no mold or anything on any of the items, but the stadium has a bit of dust from lacking the glass cover).  I am NOT making any kind of a profit on this at all.

BTW, there is a bit of a difference between a cheap nylon jacket and one made of 100% leather on the exterior. :)

I think this jacket might be the smoking gun...CanCo, can you do a rendo of Jake riding a bike in said jacket? We can send it to Spencer and see if it is a match.

So now your story is you paid $230 for kstate gear even though you are a mold aggie fan?  Something isn't adding up here.  :runaway:

really stiff loss.

Interesting choice of words.  How long have you been hiding the body in your backyard?

If you want the truth, a really attractive older MILF at work talked me into buying this crap for $230 (the rest of what I said was true),

Can you explain how your desire to eff the widow fit in with the rest of your story about her husband mysteriously dying?  Also, why did you lie to us?  Did you think concealing what you did to get the items would make it more likely somebody would pay you your blood money?  You picked the wrong EMAWs to try to get one over on, psycho.

In an effort to both be together and to inherit this husband's bounty of KSU items, they had to have him killed.  This is the Cyclone's take.  The wife, an Iowa grad, got the mercedes that the  :kstategrad: must've had
