Man Utd Munich Memorial scarves on ebay!

[GR7]

Was anyone from here at the Man Utd v Man City game yesterday? I watched it on TV and saw that the fans were all given scarves in memory of the Munich air crash from 50 years ago, when 23 people, including 7 players died.

Some people always feel the need to make money :dapprove: and last night they started appearing on ebay and I have just noticed that one has bids of over £5,000 already! It looks like this person has three on ebay!

Personally I feel it's quite sad to do this... unless it is done genuinely in aid of a charity! Would you guys sell such a thing or keep it as a treasured memento?

thats a f**king disgrace if you ask me!! And ayway they re no different to the "old style" scarfs I have seen creeping round each ground this season (Emirates has had these type for a few years!)

[richy22]

Excuse the team but look its pretty much the same bloody scarf!!

They have a tag sewn onto them with the date etc on it, thats why theyre going to sell well.

the £5000 bid looks dubious

^^ yeah, it said the date of the game, who was playin, and what the occasion was. You also got given a programme from 1958 (print obviously) but it wouldn't surprise me if they got put on eBay.

People will sell anything to make money.

I agree with FM though, save it and sell it in a couple of years time.

For me it is a tragedy, but a memorial scarf isn't really a big thing to get worked up about.

 

[richy22]

To put this into perspective... A few years ago my Grandad passed away. During 1966 he worked at Wembley Stadium as Caretaker type person.

On Final day he got a programme signed by the whole England Team, Most of the russians, the ref, think Eusebio was on there too cant quite remember.

It was sold at an auction for £2500 (i think)

Also there was a bottle of champagne with "Reserved for England 1966" that was left over from there celebrations which he also got his hands on... that sold for £1700 i think.

I cant believe that a Man Utd scarf can be worth more than that stuff listed above.

[Beef-Mc]

That's crazy, surely it wont be genuine bids!

Notice the people who bid on it were new members who pushed it from £150 upto £7800!

Mr Mitten said he suspected these bids may have been the work of genuine fans angered at the auction.
He said: "It's spoiler tactics. No one would pay that sort of money. People may have set up an eBay account just to spoil it.
"I can't say I disagree. You shouldn't be profiting out of a disaster."

 

[GR7]

The correct action has taken place - people shouldn't be profiteering out of a tragedy that was attached to a football team that lost eight team members 50 years ago!
