It's been a week since
our last edition of eBay Watch. You know what that means--there should be plenty of new (and equally desirable) collectibles available for IU fans out there. Things could get especially interesting in the coming weeks because fans with can't-fail ideas about how to make a quick buck are now trying to sell off merchandise that references players who have transferred following last season. Our first product is the perfect example.
If only DeAndre Thomas hadn't transferred, this shirt would have been a real gem.
DeAndre the GIANT Thomas T-Shirt
The product description says it all: "Is it possible to call yourself a true Indiana Hoosier and not be a HUGE fan of this guy? DeAndre Thomas. A 6'8, 300 pound power forward. He is an instant crowd favorite and just what Indiana's basketball team was missing (not counting Eric Gordon of course)."
Talk about an understatement. Thomas basically singlehandedly carried our Hoosier squad last year. His 10.3 minutes and 3.6 points per game were what kept us together! He's let overweight kids everywhere know that you can still make the team if you're packing extra pounds. It's a shame that he transferred, but at $13.95, this shirt is still a bargain!
INDIANA HOOSIERS IU -12" Round COLLEGE Thermometer NICE
The enthusiasm of this seller should be shared by IU fans everywhere. This thermometer is NICE. Plus, looks at it's size! Don't believe that it's actually 12''? Check out the tape measurer--proof!
If you're thinking you want the item but don't have a clue where you would put it, not to worry! The seller has plenty of suggestions: "COUNTRY GROCERY STORE - RESTAURANT - BAR & GRILL - GAS / GASOLINE & OIL CAN FILLING STATION - GARAGE - SIGN / THERMOMETER."
For only $29.99, you're going to have to beat me to it!
NEW INDIANA UNIVERSITY IU HOOSIERS GARDEN STONE
Simply put, this rock rocks. Your visitors will no longer feel like outsiders when they see this sitting in you garden. Some people are wary of buying rocks online, but you can rest assured--the sellers certifies that this rock is "brand new and unused."
Plus shipping is only $14.00! You can get rocks like this in your backyard!
That's all for this week, Hoosier fans. Until next week, keep collecting!
