eBay item of the week: Michael Vick bonanza!

Normally, our "eBay item of the week" requires just a singular item to be pulled from the world's Internet junk sale. But this week, a veritable "Michael Vick item buyers guide" is necessary to make sure that the finest "Ookie" souvenirs are brought into the limelight. We went with a top ten:


The chance to agree that Vick is "a bad man" (not the Muhammad Ali way) for only seven bucks. Although this apparently goes to charity, I don't see it being a successful campaign. Just not funny enough.


Action figure with dog biting him. This is not a good buy. The symbolism is just kind of weak on this one.



"ConVick" tee. There are dozens of new Vick tee-shirts on eBay. Many go the "Vick Dog Training School" route and some just say un-funny things like "Sack Vick". I like the ConVick tee. It says what you need ot to say and it covers all of your bases, because you never know what this guy is up to next!



The chance to Burn a Michael Vick jersey for charity (fire permit not included).



Pictures of a shepherd ripping up a Mike Vick action figure. Does this fulfill some bizarre fetish of some sort? This guy ran out, somehow flavored his Mike Vick action figure with bacon or something, and then had fido eat it so he could sell the pictures on eBay.


SaveVick.com (and .info!) starting for only $5,000. As Haggs pointed out, the idea of a freevick.com domain seems like a better buy. We checked- this domain is gone. So is freeronmexico.com and freemike.com. However, whycouldntthishavebeenjoeyharrington.com is still available.



"Dog Fight" record- Okay this really has nothing to do with Vick, but a nice piece of vinyl for the discerning collector.




Michael Vick is a"Piece of Crap" button, which would look great on your...




Michael Vick is a"Piece of shit" tank top. Show the world what "is" and "isn't" a piece of shit, while also flaunting your guns.



Georgia "dogfightr" license plate. Perfect addition to any Southerner's ride.




If you find any other "Ookie" merchandise we should be aware of, drop a link in the comments. (Thanks to Deadspin and OregonLive for the mentions.)

Update: The "Ookie Cookie" tee has been called to my attention. Clearly a chart-topper.
