Comments on Olympic used goods auctionI wonder to whom the proceeds of the auction will go to. But that's a lot of 2nd hand material to sell. The novelty of it is that it was used by an Olympian! I'm betting that Yao Ming's stuff or Michael Thorpe's stuff will sell the most if ever. :) What about journalists' handcuffs or gymnasts' discarded passports? Are they available? @stuart "What about journalists' handcuffs or gymnasts' discarded passports? Are they available?" No, they are still in use. lol Sichuan needs this money, where is it being funneled off too? |
