Lionel Messi's Snot and Tears Worth a Million Bucks
Messi's dried tears are for sale welcome to the era of NFT
That's exactly what I thought before realizing the idea behind Messi's handkerchief. How much of a fan are you?
Would you pay to help make Messi's clones in the future? The proud fanatic "whoever that is" has listed Messi's tissue paper on an international auction site. Since it contains genera-tic material "claims the seller" it could be used to clone the Football superstar.
The website is called "Mercado libre" the anonymous user also offers free delivery across Argentina. After spending a million on this no additional fee for delivery is expensive don't you agree? But, we can only assume that the guy’s being generous. "Wrinkled but in good condition" is part of the product description. I mean it was used it can only be wrinkled, I'm not so sure about it being in good condition. I have never bought something similar before.
To prove his point the seller included images of the item, not the best thing to look at but I guess we must know our product at all times.
Worse than having someone put such an item for sale at the starting price of a million dollars is having people buy the product. I am personally no soccer fan or Messi's for that matter but I believe many of his fans "but not every fan" picture themselves in that user's shoes.
And, he/she would probably sell easily maybe in the very first hours if the price wasn't that high. $1 Million is still a lot of money for a theory not everyone can relate to. For most this isn’t an investment at least not yet.
Not that it matters but some people would feel on top of the world for having something Messi once possessed even if it's just a handkerchief.
