Completely sickened...

.. by the scum of the earth who bought all our Earnhardt mechandise today, and then had the balls to brag about e-baying the stuff for a profit. We shoulda just removed the stuff from the shelves, but the buzzards were already at the door before we opened. It just made me sick to my stomach. Not everyone was there to do the same thing, but ive heard countless similar stories about the gouging. I was miserable enough today without those contemptuous acts of greed. Nuff' said on that dirty subject. I have had time to think about the future of Nascar after D.E., and i find my thoughts turn more towards Petty Enterprises. When Adam died, i wonder if the future of Petty Enterprised was comprimised by the break in linearity of a typical family history. What i mean is, i doubt Kyle will have another child. Who is to sit in the Petty throne after Rich passes it to Kyle, and Kyle is ready to pass it on? Dale Jr and/or Kerry will pick up where dad left off i imagine, and will have kids of their own to keep the racing namesake. My best wishes to Junebug (Waltrip cracked me up yesterday everytime he called Jr that :) ), he will go through hell for a while i imagine, but i still have my retirement planned around following him and HIS kid around to races in a big ol' Madden style bus. Thanks for listening guys, GMpartsguy......

I agree with you about scum-sucking trash and maggots making a profit off of a person's death....but one question in my mind is,why did Nascar type stores even open?I saw on the news that some were opening early...Now that is fking sick...seems like some merchants had the same greedy fking idea...not saying that your business is one...but you're right it is sick...and I just can't get over it.I was never a Nascar fan...nor watch it much...but I feel for those Nascar fans that lost a legend...and of course his family. I think if anyone had a heart...buy his stuff and sell it and donate it to his family...you know?

Most of the reputable stores around pulled all there Dale Earnhart items off the shelf. I know the specialty stores around where I live did so at the request of DEI. I did find it disgusting that someone is buying this stuff just to turn around and try to make money off of someones death.

I really dont follow your logic on this one GM. I think youre hurting over our loss of DE, but people buying DE merchandise today is nothing more than supply n demand, nothing more nothing less. In a few short months we will all be bombarded by "Official" DEI memorabilia, books, video's etc etc and most will be officially licensed. I don't have a problem with this anymore than I had with all of the Elvis crap that gets shoved down our throats. But for you to bash a fan for buying a scale model or poster today is absurd.

Amen, GMpartsguy. Bigger JG fan than Intimidator fan but still always like the guy. Even at an Al Unser, Jr. fan club meeting (Fontana 1999), Lil Al said Dale was his favorite NASCAR driver. Beware the Mighty Bowtie and God bless, Loren

you *did* sell the merchandise, no? i bet you wish you would have thought of that ebay thing yourself, huh? that is, unless you were giving it away. oh, i'm just sick of all these people profiting on old copies of life magazine with JFK on the front, after all, he died a horrible death. wake up now.

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** That's not his point. His point is that someone bought it all up, and is profiteering off of the situation on EBAY.

I can see the stores being open because people WANT the merchandise. The stores don't have ANY control over what the people do *after* that. I'm wishing I had some Earnhardt memorabilia right now. But that's because I was a HUGE fan of his, and now he's gone. I truthfully don't care if it was only worth 10 cents to someone else. It would be PRICELESS to me right now... :( Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL F1 hcp. +28.67...F2 +151.26...F3 hcp. +373.73 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

I may have been mis-understood in my statement. What people do with their merchandise is purely their business. What pissed me off was the few bad eggs that just had to mention that they planned on cranking up the price in lieu of Dale's passing away. Saying that we should have pulled the mechandise was stated purely out of disgust. A poor opinion that i probably should have kept to myself. There were far more fans than wolverines that came by. My apologies if anyone thought i was bashing people for buying up Earnhardt memorabilia. It had been a long day, and the pure gall of some folks just stuck with me all day. Thanks again for listening to me ramble on. Im gonna grab me a a big ol' Budweiser (shameless #8 plug) and relax.. GMpartsguy... P.S. Congrats to one of the nicest guys in Nascar, Mike Waltrip, on his first win. He deserved that win, and just needed the right wood to burn with :)..

I couldn't agree with you more! I had a friend who went to Rockingham and said that the DE trailer was still selling the DE stuff at the normal prices, but the Die-Cast collectibles trailer folks had bumped up the price on a DE die cast from the normal price (about $30-40) to over $300-400!! Talk about gouging! I imagine there were a lot of folks buying up DE stuff to resell it for profit, but they aren't as sick (IMHO) as the ones who raised the selling prices 10-fold to take advantage of it!

I have saved quite a lot of things, from calendars from the local Chevy dealer to some matchbox cars and trinkets that my brother's family gives me each year for Christmas, knowing I'm a fan.. My sister, who is a die-hard Ford/Mark Martin fan, even bought me a DE coffee mug this last year, and it's a treasured item here! Keep your eyes peeled.. I'm sure you'll be able to pick up some things without getting gouged, if you're careful! On 20 Feb 2001 19:28:22 GMT, [email hidden] (EldredP) wrote:
