    Seems like you'd need to get at least $500

  2. His arm is going to get *seriously fatigued* carrying that sign.

    I'd probably go for the sandwich board myself.

  3. Sandwich board doesn't work well on a unicycle. Especially if there's
    any wind!

    I look forward to seeing this auctin immortalized on The Tonight Show's
    "Will it Sell" segments. My guess is zero bids.

    "32 HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL UNICYCLE ADVERTISING!" But somebody might
    think it's perfect for their message. Something that goes with a guy on
    a unicycle.

    You know, there aren't that many professional unicycle advertisers out
    there. I hardly ever see one!

    Gregg Vivolo also sells a little "Learning to Unicycle" book that I have
    a copy of. He's a good example of the many people out in the unicycling
    world that don't seem interested in getting involved with the
    conventions, big clubs, or Internet communities. I've exchanged a few
    emails with him. I wish him luck! The advertising places he listed swarm
    with people during the summer months, and it might actually work. If it
    does, there could be work for other starving unicyclists out there!

  4. Haha that is very funny.

    I wonder if anyone will give him lots of money for it.

    Depends which direction you want to go, and how good your gliding skills
    are.

  6. Hey John,
    Gregg Vivolo here! A funny thing happened tonight... I googled my name
    and stumbled accross your thread about my eBay advertisment for 32 HOURS
    OF PROFESSIONAL UNICYCLE ADVERTISING. The idea was spawned when I saw
    all the press about the gal who ran the auction to advertise on her
    body. Her auction yielded about $13,000 but I hear she's having trouble
    receiving payment.

    I figured if there are people stupid enough to pay that sum of money to
    advertise on a womans body then there must be people out there that
    would be smart enough to pay at lease $500 to advertise using a
    unicyclist. Well, as you can see from the fact there are only 3 days
    left and zero bids, I guess I was wrong.

    I'm encouraged that there have been close to 300 hits to my auction and
    there are a number of people who have added me to their "watch" list
    (all of which I believe are among the unicycling community).

    You stated in your thread "He's a good example of the many people out in
    the unicycling world that don't seem interested in getting involved with
    the conventions, big clubs, or Internet communities." I was wondering
    if you can digress on this. I'm very interested in participating in
    these and was wondering if you can share some info with me on these. If
    you no longer have my email address it's
    [email hidden].

    Thanks,
    UniPsychler

    advertise with 'this guy' (http://tinyurl.com/ch2pw)
