888 Bathurst Posters

Hi Jamie, I have been chasing a 888 Bathurst # in a row poster but cannot find anything anywhere.
I also want to buy a black Team Vodafone cap but I cannot afford the amount it costs to join the Team Vodafone web sight, so is there any where or any way I can get a Bathurst Poster & os black T8 cap.
I really want to remember this 3 in a row victory but being on one wage we just cannot afford the cost of joining the Team Vodafone web sight, is there "ANY" way you can please help.
As allot of Ford fans want to cellebrate this awesome achievment

Darren you can access the Team Vodafone merchandise section on the website without being a TV member.

As for the posters you will be lucky to find one, unless you are willing to pay big $$’s(I was sent a link from ebay and the amount they are being sold for is crazy!!). I hate that some people only get them so they make a quick buck and those who would really appreciate one miss out.

Everything has a price… but surely $255 for one of those posters is NOT it.

I managed to grab one (even after wasting a minute trying to jump over that damn pit wall with grace); I wanted it for the history of the achievement, and because it was good to see those guys get a 3peat.
After seeing the advertisements on ebay, selling it crossed my mind VERY briefly. But I really like it, and if I was going to get rid of it I would find a fan and not exploit the disposable incomes of the crazy community on ebay.

Anyone that went last year and got themselves a ‘45 years of moments’ Bathurst poster - they’re now selling for $400+ if framed. I had three and actually gave one to my mechanic as a gift!! Makes me wonder how much some of my other unusual mementos are worth…

If you don’t come accross someone who is willing to give theirs up Darren, I can assure you that they are not worth the fuss everyone is apparently making on ebay. If you got it on the day, stood under the podium and got your flag sprayed with champagne then there will be sentimental value attached to it. If you weren’t there, it’s really only a piece of cardboard.

Why on earth is it so hard to get a 888 Bathurst celebrating there 3rd win, I realy am just so happy that they ( Ford ) have won the last 3 Bathursts I really want something to remember it, but it looks like you have to pay for it big time. And I am sorry but that is straight out “wrong”.

It’s one of the problems with ebay at the moment, people grab things purely to sell them - temporarily increasing the cost of memorbilia, but not actually increasing the value. However - considering the number of posters that were handed out (I got there as the first box was opened and there was three small boxes), not many have been sold.

An alternative would be a collectoin of the newspaper articles? They’ll have more details and memories than the placards.

There you go Darren - Team Vodafone appear to have raged a war on ebay and are selling the posters signed from their website for $25.
Beats the $100 - $255 that they are selling on ebay for, unsigned.

A few people in chat were talking about it, I thought I’d find and provide you with the link.

Darren I get the same thing don't worry, I don't know what it is. But I'll try a new account.

Yeah, made a new account and it seems to work.

Don't know what was wrong with the old one, I requested my password, and re-entered and it still didn't work.

I just cant believe the amount of the Team Vodafone Kings of the Mountain 06,07,08 posters are selling for on ebay, it sucks big time as I really really want one but I cannot afford that price.
Looks like I will just have to save my money & get one for Christmas coz by then Jamie would’ve won the Championship & they should have a special Bathurst a Championship Poster.

OK I finally got logged in but to get the cap that I want it looks like I have to join the members area at the cost of $199.00, now I mean no disprepect towards Team Vodafone as they are the Ford team that has it together & winning Bathurst for us Starved Ford fans, but not everybody can afford that price to join a web sight. Sorry but that is just not on at all.

Does anyone know if there is going to be any offical 3-peat merchandise? I saw the boys wearing great 3-peat black shirts on Ch7 over the weekend

what about the people who cant get to bathurst (as live in perth) and are obviously bigger fans that the people who are selling them on ebay to make money, it is crap.
