Whacko for Flacco
I was at a bar tonight. Some DC business dudes noticed my University of Delaware flacco sweatshirt. I got it back in fall '09 when I was drunk at Homecoming. This one guy wanted to buy it off of me, because the Baltimore/DC area apparently doesn't sell Joe Flacco UD swag. I wound up selling it to the guy for forty dollars. Plus the two drinks I got, and the tip I would have given the bartender, I wound up clearing about 48 dollars.
The best part is that the sweatshirt had almost little to no sentimental value- I enjoy Flacco and all that, but I can easily get UD Flacco swag when I get home. A new jersey with his five number would cost 35 dollars there. And I had the sweatshirt for almost two years, so even if I had payed over 40 dollars for it(I can't even remember what I paid for it because I was drunk when I bought it), it's not really worth that now. My actual, sentimental University of Delaware hoodie is at home.
It's just one of those things where you wanna laugh and go, "One's born every minute."
Seriously though, that was pretty cool. I heard that Ravens fans really wanted to get their hands on Joe Flacco UD gear, but I'd never really experienced that until tonight. The whole things a win/win- I get money that I need to replenish my stock after having spent so much money on spring break, and when I'm home and have some extra money, I can just buy a new Flacco t-shirt or something for 15 dollars.
