The poor person that paid $350 for a generic cooler spray painted orange with orange crush stickers on it. Its not worth $50. What a scum bag.

Wow... even the lid looks like it has the old red paint still showing on the bottom and looks like
orange over spray in the bottom of the cooler... sad

      Only 2 bidders at over $80.00. I think it was staged!

Well, here's my take on this cooler. Being a firefighter here in Indiana, we all must never forget what happened on that tragic day 10 years ago. The loss of life was overwhelming and left me with a sick feeling in my stomach for weeks. As we approach the 10 year anniversary of the worst event in our nations history, we all must understand that life is precious and can be taken away at a moments notice. I don't know what this sellers intention is with this cooler but let's not judge someone from an ad on e-bay. Maybe eng. 23 carried this cooler on runs or maybe the person who owned this cooler perished on that awful day. Whatever the reason, let's be nice to each other and treat them as we would like to be treated. I've always loved these old coolers.... maybe because they're fire engine red!

I agree with you. There is no problem making the cooler at all. The problem is making the cooler and then selling it on ebay. If it had significance to the event I am 100% sure it would be in the add. This guy is taking junk coolers and spray painting them and adding stickers to hopefully get $400+ out of them. If he has a sopt in his heart for 911 and wanted to make the cooler to love and enjoy and be his own tribute I think that is honorable and patriotic but doing it to make money on along with his other fake coolers is just wrong.

$351 !   Quote:  P. T. Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute"

Also,  it would be allot easier to take if he said 50% of the winning bid  will go to the families of the Hero's that lost their life's!
