Buy a Sox Hog or Body Whore

fullBike.jpeThis story starts with Curt Schilling commissioning a "custom" Harley Fat Boy with Red Sox logo for an ALS and melanoma research and patient care charity event. The hog went on sale way back in September 2004 and sold to Hill | Holiday. That was all before the Red Sox became World Champions for the first time in 86 years. To support the Sox and their favorite charities is one thing, but to do it twice with the same item didn’t work out as well as they had planned. Ebay’s auction of the Red Sox bike was a dud. The $50,000 starting price of the Hog garnered 5,000 views and only one bidder...and the reserve price was not met. The bike, and the protective plastic bubble, stay with Hill | Holiday.


Another Ebay item on our watchlist for the weekend is Louis Boston Boston’s Louis who is auctioning off prime ad space: his body.

4e_0.jpe Get your company's logo noticed by placing it on a 22 yr. old handsome male. I get noticed everywhere I go.

I am 6' and 195 lbs. I have brown hair and brown. I am a business professional that works with the public all day long. When not working a go out to the clubs and bars or local sporting events. This is a great opportunity for your company!!

Much attention has been given to the market of body advertising from boxers to bald men the market is strong. The bidding hasn’t budged since the opening $500. Bostonist would remind you that $500 would get you quite a sweet banner ad on our little corner of the web.
