:eek:Buy Your Way to Being Hardcore
At Outside Online, we're always looking for ways to help make it easier for our readers to be active and hardcore, though gear reviews, workout tips, and inspiring stories. But never before have we offered you the opportunity to buy hardcore street cred. That's right, a sour economy means people are relating to desperate measures, but now is the best time to "buy core."

GetOutdoors reported on this desperate bike messenger's special offer: buy his street cred on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110338059885

"I have too much street-cred and need to make a little extra cash.This is a great opportunity for anyone just starting out in the messenger world that doesn't really know how to fit in, or what city is the most hard-core. You will be able to tell people that we are bros, that you are down with real-life bike messengers, that you have totally partied with us, and be able to boast wild stories of how gnarly a ride was. I will even include spoke-cards and descriptions of races so that you can tell wild stories about being there, broken toe straps, well worn raceing shirt,waterproof socks friend invite on myspace and a broken frame(raleigh team frame that has been mashed way to hard) This will undoubtedly help you build even more street cred! Happy bidding and let me know if you have any questions about my cred."

So far, 12 bidders have driven up the price to $7 (plus $5 shipping and handling).

Outside Online does not vouch for this or any street cred (except our own, of course).

This reminds me of a guy on ebay ages ago selling a "genuine air guitar".

The picture was of his bedroom wall.

And people actually bid.

Were you one of the 7? I really could use some street cred now that I think of it.
