2006 Ferrrari Marlboro team shirts - look like Schumacher!

I dont recall Schumacher wearing any shimmering shirt during the races?

 

holy..$395 bucks? That would be the most expensive shirt I have ever bought..I wish I could afford it.

 

$400 bucks for a shirt... no way dude... not me. However I'm sure you will find a few "Suckers" that will pay this outrageous price... Good luck!

 

Suckers, perhaps not. But with a different set of values than most of us Ferrari owners. $339 for a shirt...!

Maybe you can get some of these for the rest of us who don't have such deep pockets:

That's the warm up version. LOL....

 

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course. I personally think that the shimmering effect makes it look very gaudy and cheap.

What makes it better than a normal Ferrari shirt - it doesn't have any exclusive logos or signatures that you dont get in a normal Ferrari polo costing $60-100. Does it come with a sticker with a serial number 1 of XXX? Do you have a picture of Schumacher wearing it?

Basically all it gives is dubious bragging rights - I have something that is 1 of XXX and it cost me $300. Personally, I am not an exclusivity junkie. So it doesn't matter to me. I have better things to spend $300 on.

BTW, a 308 is a classic looking Ferrari and is perhaps the most recognizable Ferrari in the world. So the gentleman has displayed commendable taste in buying one IMO.

 

Well… I THINK I HIT A NERVE! He sounds a little pissed. Cool =)

 

***Think about it - only 300 or so of these shirts were made....a handful are available for sale. ***

Your preception of value is unfortunaltely skewed. Low supply coupled with low demand does not equal value. (Nobody wants a hideous shirt no matter how rare). Of course you can probaly sell of few to the Eurotrash types in Montreal during the F1 weekend.

 

Rob in all due respect, that is not something to be proud of. If you do not like the item or dont want it. Dont buy it, there is no reason to give any sh*t.

 

Cool shirt, maybe for $20, even $40...

What are they made of? Is it the quality of a good cycling jersey, and/or could it be used as such? If so that will sway me into the $60 range.

Don't take it personally, but I find anyone who spend $400 on a t-shirt to be a little off kilter, I don't care whos name is on it.

Good luck with your sheistering

 

What the hell is wrong with you guys ? Have any of you ever been in Morry's shop in Toronto ?
Trust me, he doesn't keep items in stock for long, and I know for a FACT, that the Ferrari clothing he gets is from the F1 team.....have a look at the shirt...Marlboro is a clue.....you don't get official Marlboro on the knock offs, or the consumer clothing ......

Here is a guy who is an Fchat sponsor.....listing items that he feels may be of interest to one or 2 of you..and you have the stones to hide behind your keyboards and critisize him ? He didn't design them, he didn't make them, he just has access to them.
If you don't like it, fine.....move on....a lot of people do, but he usually moves anything he gets.

But ask yourselves this........He has Ferrari F1 team issue clothing, and we are 3 races into the season......you don't get that if you don't know people in the right places. You don't get that at Wal Mart either......

Morry has an amazing place, with truly amazing stuff...some if it quite mind-blowing....and one or two of you are all over him because he is offering an item THAT YOU CANNOT GET ANYWHERE... ???
Exclusivity does come at a price....so does class. Clearly some of you have none.

hps

 

Exactly. This is a registered sponsor, selling items that are expensive. If you don't like, don't want, can't afford, no reason to be nasty.

 

An a $11 fake team shirt goes perfectly with a toupe, a fake Rolex , while driving a Fiero Ferrari...

I would feel silly walking around in a fake team shirt knowing that everyone knows its an $11.00 poser shirt. I go to Formula 1 races and I am surprised that anyone would wear one of these Taiwan shirts in public.

Ferrari has done a good job of making replica team shirts for the masses, but this is a collector market item.

The real deal simply cost more, not because they are better, they are just unobtanium. A Ferrari 250 GTO is worth millions not because it is better, it is just desireable and rare. If they made thousands of GTO's do you think they they would sell for millions?

I collect REAL team clothing, I do not consider myself a sucker for doing it. $399.00 is beginner price for team clothing. These clothes are not always worn and can and do increase in value. So its an investment in many cases, I have seen a lot of shirts go for nearly $1,000 and some rare team jackets can go for thousands...

Morry is a class act and a friend of mine, Mike I have always respected your thoughts but I think you owe Morry an apology.

 

I don't think he's sheistering, if someone pays that, why not charge that price. I've visited his site, he has lots of unique items.. and unique prices to go with many of them. Only thing that I thought was odd, he crossposted this ad multiple times in different forums within Ferrarichat. I would think one post in the collectables section would have been suitable.

I did pay $100 for an authentic Renault crew shirt last year at the USGP. $400 for a t-shirt however is a bit of a stretch considering prices I have seen for crewshirts, winter testing coats, etc.. But more power to ya Manny.

Morry, you did not offend anyone.

It seems some individuals that cannot afford or appreciate the nicer things in life like to make fun of those more accomplished in life. If a person of wealth made fun of those enthusiasts that "only" had a 308 they would be run off this board. Unfortunately some people think they can say whatever they want if they percieve themselves as those at the bottom looking up.

Some people only look at the price and never understand the value of anything...

For me, its never been about the money or status, its about passion. 20 years from now my Cerruiti team wear, or the early Hilfiger team wear will be a great reminder of the fun I had with my Ferrari's and the fact it was worn by Ross or Michael or Nigel...

If you are looking at these pieces as clothing, go get a Speedgear Catalog.

 

Morry,

I didn't attack you personally so I am puzzled as to why you feel compelled to personally attack me. You don't know me nor do you know my involvement with Ferrari, the FCA or my econnomic status, but it is evidently important to you. And then you have the balls to close out your post by stating "I'm sorry if I offended anyone..." Sheesh!

Marketing Rule #1 - The customer is always right.
Marketing Rule # 2 - If the customer is wrong see rule #1.

Take your sissy shirts and the rest of your "collectables" and stick them up your tailpipe.

 

Morry's been in this business a long time. And he is a FerrariChat sponsor. He sells only the best-quality merchandise out there. As far as the customer always being right, if the customer is completely uninformed as to the value of a piece of merchandise, then he has no business spouting off to the merchant. You owe him an apology.

 

Gilles27,

You don't know me either, so I would like you to explain to me and the others on this forum how I am uninformed.

Again, my orginal comment was not directed personally at Morry, but he chose personally attack me in his response.

And just for your information, I am an expert in the field of marketing and have created and driven products to the number one position in their respective markets. So, unless you have specific information that proves to the contrary, I would suggest it is YOU who owes an apology.

 

Congratulations on your successes in marketing. For someone in the business I would expect more professional behavior. It's your opinion that the shirts are unattractive, but if you knew the F1 merchandise market as well as whatever it is you do know about, then you would realize how inaccurate your "precept of value" statement was. Limited Official Ferrari pieces from the team are extremely collectible and valuable. I suggest you read Jack Habit's commens in this thread about the sales for such items the last several years.

And if they're not to your taste, then that's fine. To each their own. But you have taken it upon yourself to label them hideous, appealing only to Eurotrash types. I assume when a client walks into your office asking you to promote something that isn't to your high standards you handle it a little more diplomatically than "Yeah, I'll be able to hawk these to the Eurotrash folks out there."

I'm sure you're very good at whatever it is you do. But accept that there are markets out there for which you may not quite have your finger on the pulse.

 

Morry, well said.

To everyone else who is making posts here complaining, I think the saying that applies here is "If you don't have anything good to say, SHUT UP!"

Morry does what he does very well, he doesn't need to explain his reasoning to anyone. We all have different opinions, and as we all know, there is no right opinion. Because there is no right opinion, there is no point to this arguing, nobody wins


Also, for those mentioning "replica" shirts: Have you ever seen a replica 355? Could you tell? Of course. Have you ever seen a fake Rolex? Could you tell? I can and so can everyone else who can afford one. You're not fooling anyone wearing replica team wear. Simple as that
