It never hurts to try ...

We all know how hard it is to find sponsorhsip.
I am extremely grateful for the sponsors I currently have, but it never hurts to try and find another one:

That's a pretty good idea. How much are you hoping to get?

Re: It never hurts to try ...

I am not looking to get any specific amount. I Am curious to see where it goes. There is a number of people watching that auction and it has one bid already with a bunch of days left.

So I am pleased.

**side note ~ a guy last week offered his FOREHEAD on eBay as advertising space for ONE month and he got $37,700.00 .... for having a company name on his forehead for a MONTH.

This is the company:

(you can see the guys forehead on there)

I would do that for a month. Seriously, I would. Even for $1000, I would do it. It's not permanent, so why not. I'm desparate for money.

Re: It never hurts to try ...

I would do the forehead thing as well ... ever since that guys story broke, there are a bunch of people putting their foreheads on ebay. It pays to be the FIRST one to do it

Yeah, I just checked, and there are basically no bids for them anymore.

I'm pretty tempted to bid on your space, Jeff. Haha.

Re: It never hurts to try ...

Please do!
I've spoken with all of the bidders except for the current bidder at $405. They have only negative feedbacks in the last 6 months. *sigh*

Everyone else seems very sincere and has expressed what they are interested in putting on the car and I am fine with their choices.

I guess we'llsee what happens.

If you bid, what would you want to put on there?

"I shoulda got a mustang" Just kidding. I have no idea what I'd want to put on there which is probably why I haven't bidded.
