Support NeoGAF

I'd be willing to do a raffle + whatever excess funds received goes to charity. I'm not looking to make money off of this.

At this time, still pledged. 1000 people is a lot though, and I still think probably frowned upon here.

Do the raffle, I'll put in $10 for Huber

Shoot evillore a message maybe? Id link him to the thread too to show it was gaf's idea not just trying to make a quick buck.

 

[HabeeNo]

Woah, OP actually put the money :O

 

[PeskyToaster]

I will take it for free. Right now. Can't get any better than that.

 

[GregLombardi]

You have got to be kidding me. You accidentally pledged the jacket?

Definitely go get some seal of approval from the mods, make it a GAF event.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Honestly, it would be an amazing moment to give this thing to Huber. That would be spectacular. I would no doubt put down $10 for that. Seriously, that would make all of GAF legends. Again.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Good point I'll buy a raffle ticket.

I would put down 10 bucks to see the reaction hahaha and make someone's life.

 

[StylesClash]

If that jacket gets to Huber...everyone here is a god.

 

[cLOUDo]

[TatteredHat]

I'd raffle for that, lol.

 

[Tregard]

Team Huber, get in here!

[kbk00]

You only live once. Just buy the damm thing.

 

[Pejo]

I love that things like this happen at NeoGAF, haha. I'd totally be down for that raffle btw. I hope it works out and he's allowed to do the raffle, something to cap off the insanity of this E3.

 

[AdaWong]

Buy it and sell it for $20,000

 

[Forkball]

Good god man, do you know how many Amiibos you could buy for that much? Almost all of them.

 

[zlatko]

Sailors beware! OP is too real.

[Hidden One]

Put it on eBay for 1 mill.

 

[OnionPowder]

Shit I'd do a raffle.

 

[petran79]

make a new kickstarter to get funds for Shenmue jacket!

 

[Xiao Hu]

Call Baklava. He's fashion insane enough to buy it

That same jacket was up as a reward for one lucky person who pledged $10,000 to the game’s Kickstarter campaign. “Of all the Shenmue memorabilia I’ve amassed over the years, that was the most valuable, the most symbolic of everything that accumulated over the years,” Suzuki told me. Why part ways with it? “It just seemed like a good idea to put it up as a Kickstarter reward. You could say that giving it up represents my commitment to getting Shenmue III made.”

Anyone posted this yet?
Oh boy...what will you do now?
The jacket will worth a lot more now.

 

[Flo_Evans]

lol that is amazing. Personally I'd rather have dinner with Yu Suzuki for $10k.

You should buy that one too and give it back to him at dinner. Baller!

 

[Nakazato]

ill throw 10 for it

Seems like a great way to go. I'd say go for it, I'd be down!

Ugh. Why. Why?!

 

[Nafai1123]

If we all pledge, can we set up some sort of time-share situation? I can only imagine the strange I'd pull in that thing.

"Hey ladies, you like Shenmue?"
"Shenwho?"
"Exactly...."

 

[Stainless]

make a new kickstarter to get funds for Shenmue jacket!

I saw people doing that to be able to create a monster for the bloodstained game

 

[Mentok]

Oh wow, and the Shenmue announcements just keep on giving lol. I don't know what's more "shock worthy": how nonchalant the OP was about accidentally dropping $10k on a jacket, or how OP is going to keep it up for a raffle competition? I seriously love the internet sometimes.

 

[_Zento]

1. Get 1000 to put in $10 each
2. Raffle jacket /charity auction
3. Special sponsor credit - 'NeoGAF'

I'm in.

1000 people is, what, 20 pages worth of posts?

Heck, you could give it a day or two of one entry each, then if that doesn't work out let people buy multiple raffle entries.

 

[Chindogg]

I'll join the raffle no problem.

 

[PapaJustify]

I'd crowdfund the 10k tier. And then we let the jacket go around between all the backers here on GAF, so everybody gets the chance to wear it every now and then.

 

[dci260]

Please cancel your pledge now instead of waiting till the last minute. Someone out there actually wants to pay for the jacket and if you cost Yu 10k by your imprudence, may Chai find you in an arcade.

Yea, I agree.

 

[Clishem87]

Put it up for kickstarter to give back to Yu. 10k target and all excess goes to the Shenmue fund! Almost 40,000 have pledged to shenmue so it should be easy enough. 25 cents from each of them.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

raffle + charity and you've got at least $100 from me.

 

[egruntz]

lmfao

My God GAF. I'll throw in $10 for your insanity.

 

[Shady859]

Buy it. Burn it. Profit off Youtube views.

Spoiler

Spend all profit on security force protection from fanboys, don't do it!

Crazy this happened on accident wonder if the other top tiers are legit. If I were the OP i'd buy it and gamble on it being a easy flip come release day. Worst case scenario you raffle it off to the hordes of Shenmue fans for easily your money back.

Edit: this is assuming you can actually afford to tie up the $

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

lol that is amazing. Personally I'd rather have dinner with Yu Suzuki for $10k.

This sounds amazing, best idea so far. Especially with that kotaku quote in context.

 

[Yonafunu]

I say we do the raffle and give it to Huber.

 

[Vyrance]

I'd be cool with throwing in $10 for the charity, or giving it to huber

 

[Night Hunter]

Raffle and give it back to Yu Suzuki, excess money to charity.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Fuck it OP do it.

Either kickstarter it to return the jacket to Suzuki(however the game must be amazing as a condition of this agreement)

Or

GAF raffle. With excess to charity.

Or

Buy it and sell it for 50k

Or

Kickstarter it with the intention of returning it to Suzuki, however, after you play the game and being majorly disappointed you decide to video yourself destroying said jacket and sending Suzuki the YouTube link.

 

[-Eddman-]

I'm in for the $10 raffle. Come on, OP!

 

[Woffls]

We should totally do a "Shenmue jacket for Huber" kickstarter.

 

[duder]

First post, may as well make it a good one. I am in for $100 if we give it to Huber.

 

[batfax]

Pick a good charity and I'd buy a ten dollar raffle ticket no problem.

 

[ptuck874]
