Now to think he is going to get seven figures, he's out to lunch.
If they belong to him he can do anything he wants to with them.
The article is as dumb as the listing.
I would HIGHLY encourage people to watch The Pat Tillman Story movie if they haven't. It's an amazing movie and will open many peoples eyes...
$15 well spent

Mike ... I agree with the writer that this item will never bring close to his asking price and will never reach his minimum.
HOWEVER, IMO there is NOTHING wrong with what he is doing. He owns the article and is free to do with it as he pleases. Is it any different than the guys that sell autographs of people who died way too young? Or charge a lot for an autographed card from the year that the person died? There is a lot of memorabilia that sells at inflated prices because of the untimely death of an athlete.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

This was my initial sentiment. It isn't like his description is milking the tragic death of an American hero, he's sticking to football and not evoking any emotional triggers.
I think the writer and anyone who is complaining about the item are people who don't really understand sports memorabilia. Is the price crazy? Yes. Is there anything wrong with selling it? No.
I was meaning to say that I don't feel that there is anything wrong with this listing outside the fact that the seller is asking about 5,000 times too much for the shoes. Perhaps I missed it, but the article is acting like Tillman has been sainted and that these shoes are relics or something.
ok, I offered a buck and was automatically rejected...
