9-11 Tribute Cooler

Other than "poorly done", I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Truly a tribute, or trying to cash in?

That's nothing more than cashing in... Its outragous. The least he could have done would be donate a large portion of it to charity.
I hope it doesn't sell..
Tasteless.

He has some other coolers for sale too. They look spray bombed, and not well. I agree though, it seems like trying to profit on tragedy.

And oh, the 10 year mark is approaching. I'm sad someone would cash in, amused people believe a decal or two and a can of Krylon spray paint is all it takes to "restore and remember"

Drave I agee one hundred percent, scum bag just trying to cash in. It may be a blessing him not posting that he is going to donate all or part of the proceeds. as there is no way of verifying if he did.

Concur!!! If it were to be a tribute, it could be much nicer than a few block letters and a date. Sad.

Look at this "restoration" from the same guy. This is awful! First off trying to pass of vinyl decals as original is bad but this is just terrible. Why would you put this much writing on the side of a cooler. Anyway those letter will never stay in place and he says that it is clear-coated to ensure it lasts another 60 years. This guy has some problems with stickers. I hope I don't step on anyone's toes here but the stickers look like they came from a scrap booking shop. Looks like he raided his wife's scrap booking drawer.
