Choose wisely. :) Given that this guy doesn't seem to have any other incredibly outrageously overpriced things, I wonder if he/she didn't miss a decimal and really meant $30.

------------------------------------------------------- > But it says "Rare - Scarce / Vintage or Antique" > LOL I seen them for sale years ago and was told that they were gave to SP employees(seller must been former employee,had boxes of office supplies,etc from HQ) at Market street in SF,around the late 80's. I did'nt buy it (should have) but I did buy the matching stationary pad's and the 3' by 5' ft new, SP route map that were also supplied to the corporate office. May be "rare,scarce" now but not "Vintage or Antique" and worth about 30.00$ at most. , Date: 11/18/12 11:06 Re: Espee fans, just $3,000 and the cup is yours! Author: cchan006 wp1801 Wrote:

With the seller's attitude like that, I'm glad I didn't follow the eBay link, and I don't plan to. He's probably wondering why such a high hit count but no bidders? Date: 11/18/12 12:05 Re: Espee fans, just $3,000 and the cup is yours! Author: SPMARKETING The old sales guys (if their are mnay left)should be sitting on fortunes. With all the SP and SSW mugs, pens, scratch pads, matches,etc. I think I even have a few of the Rio Grande gold cups around somewhere. We gave them out until the shippers didn't need or want them anymore.

With no takers! --Jim Baker Date: 11/18/12 17:56 Re: Espee fans, just $3,000 and the cup is yours! Author: young_daniel Well, time just ran out with zero takers. Shoot, I was ready to "snipe" it for $6K too. Seller goofed by including pic of coffee-stained interior......bleh.
Reminds me of the cartoon of the down-and-out fellow with the sidewalk apple stand. Sign says "Apples $50,000 Each". Caption reads "Only have to sell one!". -YD- |
