Default FS or TRADE: A piece of RC History

All,

I'm selling a few collectables and thought that this special piece could go to a good home. I have a 190mm Alfa body painted in pearl white with a blue hue and blue trim. It was signed by several racers and people in the RC industry at the 2004 IFMAR on-road electric worlds. It is the ONLY body that was signed by so many people.

It was signed by the following:
Masami Hirosaka
Surikarn Chaidajsuriya
Atsuri Hara
David Spashett
Brian Kinwald
Oscar Jansen
Craig Drescher
Simo Ahoniemi
Jonas Kaerup
Chris Tossolini
Chris Ashton
Barry Baker
Bob Novak
Sean Cochran
Daisuke Yoshioka
Billy Easton
Jacob Delano
Mike Reedy
Gil Losi Sr
M. Gibson
H. Carstens

There are other autographs, but I couldn't read them clearly. Pictures can be found here:

You may check my reputation with my ebay name (ptjoe1).

This is really a rare opportunity for RC fans as this was one of those times where the best RC pros from around the world came together in one place. I'm looking for EDIT reasonable offers or trades. I would consider interesting electric car/truck parts/items in trade.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Over 300 looks and no replies. I'm looking at getting into 1/18 offroad racing. Will consider trades. If there is no interest, please let me know where I can advertise this. Ebay?!

I don't care who it's signed by...$400 is too much for some permanent marker on a piece of Lexan.

I would agree. The price is the problem. The body and paint job cost you 55 to 70 dollars max and you expect to make 400 more fore autographs that where free?!?!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm open to offers and/or trades. Basically, this was made for someone that ended up pursuing other hobbies. It's been in the closet for over two years now.

As for pricing, the same point could be used for anything with an autograph and a pricetag. It may not have value to some people, but it would to others. Not to mention the time and $ to attend the event and get the autographs.

Point is...this should go to a better place than the back of my closet.
