Here’s a not-to-be-missed opportunity for any die-hard Sharks supporter looking for a truly unique and extra special piece of memorabilia to take pride of place above their bar (or perhaps to be framed and hung on their lounge wall, if the missus will have it…)
Jet Setters, Durban’s number 1 event coordination team, is a fresh company focused on offering clients fabulous holiday getaways, corporate travel packages and a wide variety of event and function services. The lovely ladies who run the company will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that their clients’ holidays, events, parties and functions are the stuff that dreams are made of, even for the budget conscious (and who isn’t in these times?). On behalf of Jet Setters, we have a unique signed Sharks Currie Cup jersey to sell to the highest bidder. All proceeds from the sale will be used by Jet Setters to fund further expansion of their business in the year ahead.
The jersey itself has been signed by a plethora of Sharks stars, both current and former and includes the signatures of two Springbok captains (John Smit and Johann Muller) as well as at least 10 other internationals. Adding to the rarity value, the likes of Ruan Pienaar, Brad Barritt, Pat Cilliers, Waylon Murray, Rory Kockott and Andries Strauss have also put their paws on this one, making it a must have for anyone keen to relive some of the glory days of the recent past!
So here’s how the auction is going to work. We’re setting a reserve price on the jersey of R2 500, which will include shipping to a destination of your choice within South Africa and is generally a steal for such a rare item. We’re obviously hoping to raise considerably more than this, though and again are encouraging you to bid generously on this must-have item.
So, the starting bid will be R2500. Thereafter, bids will increase by R20 at a time. In order to place your bid, you need to be a registered user on Sharksworld and you need to submit your bid as a comment on this thread. The auction will run until 5pm South African time on Tuesday (10 January 2012) and we will close the thread to further comments at that stage. We will contact the winning bidder by email on Wednesday morning (11 January) and that bidder will need to transfer the money into our (South African) bank account by 5pm on Thursday afternoon (12 January) in order to secure the jersey. Failing that, we will offer the jersey to the next highest bidder and if they also can’t pay (shame on you!), we reserve the right to cancel the auction.
International bidders are also welcome, but need to understand the following additional conditions:
- The price will still be in Rand and we will agree on an exchange rate after the auction closes.
- You will need to pay us via PayPal.
- You will be liable for international shipping charges over and above the sale price.
That’s all folks… may the highest bidder win! Which I’m sure they will, come to think of it 
I would love to but my hubby would kill me.
Someone keep KSA away from this thread.
@Big Fish (Comment 2) : Yeah, did he buy up half of the pink Sharks jerseys?
@Big Fish (Comment 2) : was my exact thought! On the other hand…
@Big Fish (Comment 2) : you know it’s only a matter of time…
I would love to own that jersey but to quote Counting Crows “it’s been a long December”
Signed by the class of 2007. to quote Mary Hopkin: ‘Those were the days my friends..”
@CapeShark (Comment 7) : mmmm the same class that lost us the Super 14??…
hehe
@Uli (Comment 8) :
Yes, the same class that got us to the S14 final as opposed to merely finishing mid-table.
@Uli (Comment 8) : Blame Steve Walsh…..ok blame Frans Steyn!!
Howdy people
I trust you all had a wonderful holiday and I wish you a blessed year ahead
Assuming im the first bidder, im in for R2520.
Happy new year all.
@Big Fish (Comment 9) : hehe
@Pokkel (Comment 10) : um…. is Rob in your house atm? lol
@Uli (Comment 13) :
No….but I’m still pissed at Fransie for missing that relatively easy conversion and later not kicking the ball out after the final whistle!
but he is more that welcome back if he wants to come!
@billy (Comment 12) : Thanks billy… currently yours
@billy (Comment 12) : and Happy New Year to you too!
@robdylan (Comment 15) : thanks
@Pokkel: walsh shouldve sent habana off the field in the moments of the s14 final ’07.and then he and the touch judge between the two of them missed the bulls infringing at the ruck
..
Perhaps the sharks wouldve been better off playing for the dropgoal when they had that run of possession in bulls 22m just before half-time ( only for the forwards to knock-on a pick and drive if memory serves right-close to bulls tryline)..3 point on the steoke of halftime wouldve put the sharks 17_10 ahead)..
Perhaps this ,perhaps that,but it is all in the past now
I’ll go in for R2600
@rossh_za: welcome (if you have posted before on sw,welcome again
)
@rossh_za (Comment 19) : thanks for that Ross! Please could you send a quick email to rob@sharksworld.co.za just so I know I can get hold of you?
KSA’s sitting quietly to punch in a number on Tuesday at 16h59:58.
@Pokkel (Comment 14) : lol
@bergshark (Comment 18) :
aai now now… lets not go back into the past… lets rather look at the bright future
2007 was a wash…. lol
At first glance I thought it was a competition to win the jersey.
Nothing for free in Sharks country.
@Predawn (Comment 24) : but it is a competition – the one who spends most money wins this jersey
@rossh_za (Comment 19) :
That’s raising the stakes too fast – play fair!
R2620.
@Predawn (Comment 24) : why would you expect that somebody would give you such a thing for free?
@Big Fish (Comment 26) : is that a genuine bid, my friend?
@robdylan (Comment 27) : because lots of generosity here – I once won CC ticket with accomodation option (seRIAAS
that was so 
of Letgo
ohhh and Windy sponsored jersey on one of the superbrus
so not such a far -fetched expectation.
@Big Fish (Comment 2) :
@rekinek (Comment 22) : I actually think that will keep the price down.
it should be along the lines of it will close 5min after the final bid was placed. In other words if a bid is placed at 17:03 then the auction will close at 17:08 unless another bid is placed.
@robdylan (Comment 28) :
Yebo.
Does anyone know what the sharks 2012 super rugby jersey luks like . If u do know plz post a link
@AYA11 (Comment 33) : Are you implying Luke Watson is going to play for the Sharks?
If only I didn’t have to pay my rent.
@Die Kriek (Comment 35) : Move in with a friend
I won’t be bidding on this Jersey.
Time to let someone else enjoy the prizes. That AND it’s a little close after Christmas.
Delay the bidding to the end of Jan
@KSA Shark © (Comment 37) :
That’s what I would have done. I think the timing means someone is gonna score a deal. Right now it looks like me.
@Big Fish (Comment 38) :
Expecting a few bids to come through today
I’m in for R2700
@rossh_za (Comment 41) : good man, good man!
ZAR 2,720-00
@KSA Shark © (Comment 43) :
I somehow knew you would get involved sooner than later!
@Pokkel (Comment 44) :
@KSA Shark © (Comment 45) : addict!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 43) : There is no ways you were going to let this jersey go without bidding on it.
@lostfish (Comment 47) :
@KSA Shark © (Comment 48) : they’re making it too easy for you…
@robdylan (Comment 49) :
@robdylan (Comment 49) : not easy Cheap….if only it was not January, it would have been a stand-down, that jersey has a place in the SharkShack
@Franshark (Comment 51) : I agree.
The auction should be extended delayed to the end of Jan. The achievable price will double IMO.
R2740.00
Who’s Sharks jersey is it?
What is the money / charity going towards?
@Barrel (Comment 54) : It’s in the article.
@Barrel (Comment 53) : thank you sir!
@Pokkel (Comment 55) : My bad!!!
@robdylan (Comment 56) : Pleasure Bud…and if not why not!!!
@Barrel (Comment 53) :
@Barrel (Comment 54) :
I like the way you 1st bid and then enquire about the details afterwards.
Here IS an interesting question though.
It LOOKS like a player’s Jersey rather than a replica Jersey courtesy of the Supersport “S” on it.
Which player’s Jersey was it?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 59) : BWHAHAHAHA…thats how i roll!!!
@robdylan (Comment 56) : So whats up Rob? Have not chatted to you for a while, whats news?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 60) : if I told you that, I’d have to kill you. And that would be an unnecessary burden on my conscience.
@robdylan (Comment 63) : Burden? Was he already there in 2007?
I’ll just have to wait until I get the Jersey and see for myself.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 64) : I completely missed the fact that it’s a player jersey… that makes it a steal at 2700
@KSA Shark © (Comment 64) : I think we are doing the current owner of this jersey an injustice in selling it so cheaply…
@robdylan (Comment 66) : Same here. Speak to her before 5pm and tell you you will be able to get her much more for it if she let’s you hold the auction over for the end of the month.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 67) : I’m not sure I can legally pull it now…
@robdylan (Comment 68) : unless the winning bidder is someone reasonable…
@robdylan (Comment 68) : I’m sure you can.
@robdylan (Comment 69) : Are you saying I need to win and then say I can’t pay?
@robdylan:comment69: oh okay then: $1 000 000
@robdylan:comment64&65:nice of you ,rob -im sure she will thank you for getting a more market-related price for the jersey
@KSA Shark © (Comment 70) : I think you really want this jersey…. at least, you do for now
If the $1m dollar isn’t legit, I’ll go in for R2800. From what I can gather, that’s where we at…
@rossh_za (Comment 74) : That is where we were at before i’ve just bid ZAR2,820-00.
Cool, let’s make it R3000 then
@rossh_za (Comment 76) : 5min to go.
@rossh_za (Comment 76) : Look out for a last minute bid……. make sure your last minute bid is higher.
@rossh_za (Comment 76) : Congrats it seems like you are the winner.
@rekinek (Comment 29) :
That’s why I didn’t bother answering the question. The Sharks were almost rans last year and spending money on them would be very difficult unless I had stalker tendencies…
ok – no further bids!
@rossh_za (Comment 76) : Ross, please send me an email… rob@sharksworld.co.za
@Predawn (Comment 80) : they can loose all S15 games and come last in CC, if I have the dow I’ll buy it…. ALLWAYS A SERIUOS SHARKS SUPPORTER
@CapeShark (Comment 7) : Looking at the signatures it has to be later than 2007. Jannie Du Plessis has signed the Jersey and he only joined the Sharks in 2008.
@rossh_za (Comment 76) :
Congratulations!
Be sure to wear the jersey when blogging on match day.
