Seems dumb but if people are willing to spend the money...
That's completely hilarious hahahah
I thought Maggie was paying his way.
Wait do we get a refund if he doesn't make London?
Gotta get @xcprobs on that list!
People should pick up twitter handles like @usatfsucks and @iaafsucks and put in their bids.
Anyone want to guess on what it will take to win? In less than two hours has rocketed above $400. Almost 10 days to go with it. I could see it going for $3-5K at a minimum.
I'm not sure if I want to say he's brilliant or dumb.
This stupid who cares. Don't you losers have anything better to do than obsess over some dopey overrated Oregon runner.
I think Symmonds is bidding it up.
im winning... but i don't want to win because i have very little money
Is this allowed? Or is he going to end up having to rub it off like Fleshman at NYC Marathon.

Wow, Nick really thinks he's a shoe-in for the Olympics. He's going to piss off some sponsor if he comes up short.
I really can't see him getting anything less than 3rd unless he gets injured.
Has nobody noticed the dates he gas put for the Olympic games?
Is he planning on chopping his right arm of for more left arm exposure and do the Paraolympics instead?
It will be interesting to see how much the price increases. A British sprinter just tried to sell himself for sponsorship on ebay and the winning bid was £32'000. Seems like it was all a hoax though

In the ad he writes:
*Due to antiquated and crippling rules put in place by the IAAF, I will be forced to cover up the temporary tattoo with tape at all IAAF governed meetings. I will, however, have the tattoo on under the tape and will remove the tape as soon as the rules permit. In all interviews conducted before and after the event I will mention the sponsor's Twitter name and why it has been covered during competition.
This seems like a really good way to get publicity simply due to the controversy he will cause. The name will get in lots of articles and talked about by commentators anytime these rules get criticized.

How much would a tramp stamp go for? I think we're on to something.
The guy is a huge tool.
