I recently met Romario at a soccer game in Canada, due to being part of the club he played against I was able to get the towel he was using in the changeroom and got him to sign it. Anyone intersted in purchasing it, and if not, can anyone tell me how much it would roughly go for? Thnx.

Wow, that is pretty amazing to meet Romario! Thats awesome!
If you guys don't know who Romario is, it is quite surprising, but if you don't just remember that he was better or more productive than Adriano, little Robinho, whatever! He is like a legend...and he is damn arrogant to.
Mate, if you sold that on Ebay, i reckon you could get quite abit. Autographed photos of Reyes or v.Persie go for 15 quid, so if you told the whole story, and made a good looking auction, I think you could get abit, I'm sure some would pay at least double or triple. I'd keep it for myself though.

You aren't going to get jack squat for it. I can't believe you meet one of the greatest goal scorers ever and want to make money off it. Keep it because it should be worth far more to you due to the experience than the $10 you would get on eBay.

i don't think a towel will sell for much....on the other hand, if you had his boots....THEN we could be talking some serious bucks!

An Xbox360 BOX was sold for couple thousand, then there was the jar of air from some celebrity that went for quite a nice sum, theres plenty to be made on ebay if you just know how to advertise your poduct!
