Sick that people are willing to pay 2,15 million for a shirt instead of donating it to Africa or something. ;p You gotta think out of the box! There could be so many different ways of spending 2,15 million dollar.
OR buying africa, the bidding started at $3, I think it's at 6.50 now.[/completely serious]

Screw Halomods ("H#" is in the top 3 worst bandwagons I've seen), I wish I had that kind of money.

Whoever has this shirt shouldn't sell it on ebay. Things like this should go to a museum or something.

If someone can sell an empty Jar that says "My Soul" on eBay, I think this could sell. If not, it will definitely go into auction at Christie's or Sotheby's.

I hope that anyone willing to get that shirt realizes that it could be some 12-year-old selling their dad's old shirt and trying to make some money. :lol:

I mean really? How do you all of the sudden find JFK's shirt? And why would you sell it on e-Bay? You could probably give it to a museum and get money from them too. :roll:

Things like these don't interest me. Its like me buying a 50$ shirt, becoming famous, and all the sudden everyone thinks the shirt I wear is worth billions of dollars just cause I wore it, its really stupid.

I mean no matter what amount of money I had, I would never buy a shirt for 2 million.
Unless it gave me super powers and let me shoot lazers out my mouth.

JKF got his face blown in 2. I might put in some money for the shirt he was wearing when that happened as long as it still had it's original blood stains. This shirt on the other hand is worth very little in my opinion.

Chances are it's a very expensive shirt anyway. +700$
JFK's head blown into bits. +10$
Shirt should sell for about 750$ plus tax. 1k max since it's an auction. I'm not feelin' 4 mil.

i can see selling a famous dead guy's posessions for an above-average price, but 2 million? and there isn't even any proof it belonged to JFK. oh well, at least we were amused by it.

If it was the shirt that he was shot in, yeah. But inauguration shirt? Psh, no one cares about that.
