'''Kenneth Erwin Englehardt''', affectionately known among trolls as '''Kengle''', is Chris's primary ass-kisser on [[Facebook]]. As a fat, autistic, inept, unemployed middle-aged man with a penchant for creating horrifying, warped artwork, Ken feels as though he shares a lot in common with Chris. Along with making up 10% of Chris's total [[medallion]] sales, Kenneth posts on every status update that Chris posts, usually offering some inane comment. Ken is considered a lolcow in his own right, due to his bizarre clip-art collage art, depicting his Sonichu fan-franchise Sonichen. He is also dubbed "the lolcow collector," due to having befriended several prominent lolcows - Chris being the main focus of his [[autism]] - on Facebook. Much like our [[Chris|autistic zero]], Ken is fond of picking something up, trying it out and then dropping it when his interests shift in another direction.

In another parallel to our autistic hero, he has an obsession with a woman who doesn't even acknowledge his existence - in this case, one Gloria Tesch, a talentless sub-DeviantArt-level author using her dad's money to fund a full-length movie that will likely be outsold by outlawed pornography, and unquestionably a lolcow in her own right.

It's worth nothing that Ken, perhaps the only person in the world to ever admire Chris for anything other than comedic value, is 56 years old and has been employed for a few weeks of his life.

== Relationship with Chris ==
In many ways, Ken is the Rosechu to Chris's Sonichu; a useless borderline-NPC character who shows up occasionally to be mildly annoying. Besides showing up on every Chris status update to offer an arbitrary declaration, or an opinion with no elaboration whatsoever, Ken buys a huge amount of Chris's crap on eBay. He has commissioned several medallions, including one of his horrifying fan-character, Sonichen. Ken's intentions towards Chris seem entirely innocent - although he'll occasionally make what appears to be a subtle jab at Chris, these are overshadowed by the praise he heaps on Chris for heroic acts such as sculpting a medallion, having an opinion on a video game, and breathing in and out.

Ken once tried to host an anti-bullying website, hoping to cash in on Chris's [[Sonic Boom]] protests - the prize being recognition from Chris, something we all strive to achieve. [[Sonichu.net#spergweb.com.2FSonichuOnline_.28November_2014.29|That went about as well as you'd expect.]]

[[Chris]] barely acknowledges Ken. Chris immediately dismissed Ken's forum and fan-site without so much as a cursory glance. Ken is regularly confirmed to have bought medallions from Chris on eBay in order to eke out a "thank you" from Chris on eBay.

== Relationship with Chris's trolls ==
Ken was banned from the [[Kiwi Farms]] because he does not seem to comprehend that there are [[ween|mean people on the Internet who want to bully Chris]] and people connected to Chris, and instead believes that everyone is genuinely just interested in Chris as a cool famous Internet dude who everyone wants to befriend. His thread on the forum, 120+ pages and steadily climbing, is testament to how well that turned out for him. Many Chris trolls are interested in Kengle as a sort of "second-tier" lolcow - he is very active on Facebook, posting his bizarre creations and generally making a fool of himself, sometimes involving Chris in the process. Many trolls are morbidly curious to see more of Kenneth's horrifying creations, which are vaguely reminiscent of low-budget Eldritch abominations.

'''eBay''' is an online auction site frequented by [[Chris]] since May 2001. He has often purchased and sold stuff there.

==Chris as a buyer==
Chris bought a lot of [[My Little Pony]]s from the site. His many eBay purchases helped Chris accumulate a debt of $2,000 on his credit card.

During the [[Megan Saga]], [[Megan]] often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II [[CWCville|Wehrmacht]] soldiers, [[anime]] CDs, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",<ref>[[Megan Emails, Jan-July 2007#Another email from the "Seriously Stop Fucking Touching Me" collection]]</ref> though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 [[March 2010]], he spent $12.97 on ''[[God of War]] III ''The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a ''God of War III'' Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent ''thirty dollars'' on a [[ModNation Racers]] Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ''ModNation Racers'' with that money, which he already did.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback">[http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=jesusguidesme2&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true eBay Feedback Profile for jesusguidesme2]</ref> The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the [[PSN]] for merely $2.<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/09/playstation-store-update-164/ PlayStation Store Update - PlayStation.Blog, 9 Nov 2010]</ref> Most recently, however, Chris purchased a ''Lego Friends'' promotional display stand for $30.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/> ''Lego Friends'' is a series of Lego aimed at pre-teen girls, as evidenced by its general kiddiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a buyer. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

Immediately after listing and successfully selling various drawings (including the [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]) and multiple [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos]] in early July 2014, Chris bought several Lego minifig parts on eBay.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/>

In 2015, Chris has shown himself to be an avid consumer of Amiibos, which he buys from eBay scalpers at around $30 a pop. Chris seems to be going for a complete collection of Amiibos. In spite of the implied financial troubles that come with legal difficulties and having your home rebuilt from the Ground-Up, [[trolls]] noted that Chris bought a $30 [[Lego]] minifigure and hundreds of dollars in [[Lego]] sets; the typical spending spree for Chris ends in about $600 of tugboat being forked over to various eBayers in exchange for second-hand toys.

==Chris as a seller==
[[Image:Meat.jpg|thumb|TRUE and HONEST ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' merchandise]]
[[Image:Gibson.jpg|thumb|left|Notice the wonderful pile of dishes. Who wouldn't want to buy something from this house?]]
===Early sales===
Since late [[2008]], when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.

Early in [[2009]], Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "[[Chris and religion|jesusguidesme2]]", and deleting information from his account. It didn't work. The account went dormant in [[September 2010]], but became active again around [[August 2012]].

Around [[September 2009]], Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his awful [[Gitar of Fail|guitars]]. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as that [[Gitar of Fail]], "[[Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud|Meatwad's Shredwad]]" shows off Chris's disregard for [[Parody|copyright]] and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' merch, but none of those slanderous [[trolls]] can do [[Chris and hypocrisy|''the exact same goddamn thing'']] with [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']] products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.

He also sold a [[Transformers|Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro]] claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

In August 2008, Chris auctioned off a pink [[Wikipedia:LeapFrog Enterprises|LeapFrog]] [[Wikipedia:Leapster|Leapster]]. He received $29.99 for it. The Leapster is a handheld "educational" video game system marketed to children ages 4-10. It wasn't released until late [[2003]], which means that Chris was at least ''twenty-one'' when he bought it. He may have bought it because there was a [[Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic X'']] game available for the system. The game, which involves answering math problems to advance, is appropriate for 5-7 year olds.<ref>[http://www.leapfrog.com/en/families/leapster/leapster_learning/lg_sonic.html]</ref>

On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.

===Bob's Straduarius Violin===
In 2014 Chris used eBay extensively, not only to hock portions of the hoard, but also to sell original artwork, which drew considerable attention from his fans.

The first hint of this uptick in activity was on 28 May, and involved Chris's effort to sell what he listed as a "Straduarius" violin which had belonged to his father. Chris stated that he and his mother desperately needed to sell this family heirloom for some quick cash, even though at the same time Chris was begging his Facebook friends for expensive LEGO sets.

===Original Drawings===
[[Image:01June2014-Original eBay Drawing.jpg|thumb|"The main image for this sale was edited to prevent forgery during listing, but a sample of the color is the secondary photo."]]
'''Main article:''' [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]

On 1 June 2014, Chris listed an [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]], with bids reaching over $10,000 in the first day of listing. Chris offered to frame the drawing and ship it in bubble wrap, but ''"ONLY when the art is Bought Now for the full price"''. The listing was taken down mysteriously the morning after, but then reappeared later that day. Over the span of eight days, Chris attempted to force this piece of "work" to be sold at an exuberant price, only for it to be taken down repeatedly, forcing eBay to temporarily [[List of places that have banned Chris|ban]] him. He finally sold it for $200 on 1 July.

Over the next several months, Chris listed six more drawings of his Sonichu characters, managing to sell at least one.

===Autographed Photos===
'''Main article:''' [[Autographed Photos]]

On 1 July 2014, Chris listed [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos of himself]] for sale, at a price of $20 each. Chris offered to write personalized messages in addition to his autograph, as long as the requests are "Not Offensive". In the eBay Q&A for the listing, he approved [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 7: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target"|"All that is down is only the floor"]] as a message, and indicated that he may possibly wear the [[Medallion of Fail|Sonichu medallion]] for an autographed photo. Indeed, a new photo of himself bedecked in the famous medal was soon on offer. Unfortunately, he stated that his red and blue "The Classic" rugby shirt was lost to [[Destruction Of Chris's House|the January 2014 house fire]], so it would not be available for photos. By 24 July 2014, 58 photos had been sold.

===Commissions===
Main article: [[Commissions]]

Also on 1 July, Chris posted listings for [[Commissions|commissioned drawings]], in either black & white ($50), color ($100), or color with frame ($200). By the end of the year, at least 9 color drawings, 10 B&W drawings, and 2 framed drawings had been sold. Prices had also been reduced, and various sales and package deals had been offered.

===Medallions===
Main article: [[Medallions]]

In September 2014, Chris began mass-producing his famed [[Sonichu medallion|Sonichu medallions]] on eBay. These proved to be very popular, and many recipients posted their prizes on the CWCki Forums for the world to see. Chris occasionally offered free medallions with the purchase of commissioned drawings or original pieces. A dramatic twist involved his dispute with one "Mr. Smith," whose (perhaps unjustified) complaints won him a special "angry eyes" Sonichu medallion.

===Jazz Marathon CDs===
[[File:WTJU Jazz MARATHON omot.jpg|thumb|"THE RADIO STATION GAVE ME FULL APPROVAL TO SELL THIS!!!"]]
On 14 July, Chris listed CDs of the 1990 WTJU Jazz Marathon, which his dad hosted and which he has already made freely available through Facebook. The list price was $50, $10 of which Chris claimed would be donated to WTJU. [[Autism|Predictably]], the CD cover has [[Chris and his Ego|Sonichu]] and the words [[Chris and copyright|"(C) 2000 CWC" on it]]. eBay removed the listing, presumably over copyright infringement, and Chris angrily reposted the listing, claiming that he had permission from WTJU to sell it, which is somewhat irrelevant, and which WTJU later retracted.<ref>[http://cwckiforums.com/threads/wtju-charlottesville-radio-station-responds.4313/]</ref> Apparently, the CDs were only kept up because WTJU thought that Bob was a musician who did a set for the station and not a DJ. eBay then removed the listing a second time, but not before two hapless people had bought copies. Chris gave up on relisting the CDs and claimed he was unable to refund the buyers, but promised to ship each of them a color commissioned drawing, autographed photo, and complimentary CD instead.

===Chris takes a break===

On 6 December, Chris announced that he would not be able to produce or sell his artwork until 1 January 2015, as he and his mother would be busy moving back into [[14 Branchland Court]] after its renovation. But nothing happened on this day. Instead, about two weeks into the new year, Chris silently removed all his sale items from his account, making no mention of it on Facebook. Finally, on 2 February, he announced:

{{quotebox|2 February 2015
Relisted: More Sonichu and Rosechu Medallions for satisfied Sonichu and Rosechu Fans. Please, help me get my Seller Status back up to Standard, so I can relist the commissions and photos again. Thank You.}}

Of course, given that he was due to appear in [[26 December 2014|court]] in three days, he was taking a big risk in guaranteeing that he could fulfill orders.

===Sonichu Amiibo===

In line with his demands to his quadrillions of adoring fans that they vote for [[Sonichu]] to appear in the upcoming Smash Bros. game, Chris expanded his merchandising endeavor and began to sell Sonichu Amiibos. Chris's customisation process involves taking a new and functional Sonic Amiibo, breaking all the limbs off, reattaching them in a janky and unnatural pose with Krazy Glue, attaching Pikachu ears and tail, and slathering the whole thing in glossy paint to give it that "child's art project" look. Of course, he also does an eye-searingly pink Rosechu custom, for those [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Chris merchandise completists]] out there.

Bizarrely, Chris seems to be scultping the Pikachu ears for his custom Amiibos out of Crayola Fuckin' Model Magic, but the tails seem to be taken from Pikachu Amiibos. As Chris could simply take the parts from any old Pikachu toy and likely save himself the money on both Pikachu Amiibos and Model Magic, trolls can only speculate on [[autism|why he would choose to do it this way]]. Trolls have accurately predicted that Chris makes barely any return on these custom jobs - with Sonichu Amiibos selling at $41 each, Chris stands to make about eleven dollars per Amiibo sold, losing almost his entire profit margin on P&P and eBay fees alone. It's worth nothing that Chris sold out his entire stock within hours of announcing their existence - he's probably made about a hundred dollars, or, in Chris's terms, about five Lego minifigs from some eBay scalper.

The only verified Sonichu Amiibo purchase arrived smashed to pieces and floating around in the bottom of the packaging.

Chris offered to write personalized messages in addition to his autograph, as long as the requests are "Not Offensive". In the eBay Q&A for the listing, he approved [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 7: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target"|"All that is down is only the floor"]] as a message, and indicated that he may possibly wear the [[Medallion of Fail|Sonichu medallion]] for an autographed photo. Indeed, a new photo of himself bedecked in the famous medal was soon on offer. Unfortunately, he stated that his red and blue "The Classic" rugby shirt was lost to [[Destruction Of Chris's House|the January 2014 house fire]], so it would not be available for photos. By 24 July 2014, 58 photos had been sold.

===Commissions===
Main article: [[Commissions]]

Also on 1 July, Chris posted listings for [[Commissions|commissioned drawings]], in either black & white ($50), color ($100), or color with frame ($200). By the end of the year, at least 9 color drawings, 10 B&W drawings, and 2 framed drawings had been sold. Prices had also been reduced, and various sales and package deals had been offered.

===Medallions===
Main article: [[Medallions]]

In September 2014, Chris began mass-producing his famed [[Sonichu medallion|Sonichu medallions]] on eBay. These proved to be very popular, and many recipients posted their prizes on the CWCki Forums for the world to see. Chris occasionally offered free medallions with the purchase of commissioned drawings or original pieces. A dramatic twist involved his dispute with one "Mr. Smith," whose (perhaps unjustified) complaints won him a special "angry eyes" Sonichu medallion.

===Jazz Marathon CDs===
[[File:WTJU Jazz MARATHON omot.jpg|thumb|"THE RADIO STATION GAVE ME FULL APPROVAL TO SELL THIS!!!"]]
On 14 July, Chris listed CDs of the 1990 WTJU Jazz Marathon, which his dad hosted and which he has already made freely available through Facebook. The list price was $50, $10 of which Chris claimed would be donated to WTJU. [[Autism|Predictably]], the CD cover has [[Chris and his Ego|Sonichu]] and the words [[Chris and copyright|"(C) 2000 CWC" on it]]. eBay removed the listing, presumably over copyright infringement, and Chris angrily reposted the listing, claiming that he had permission from WTJU to sell it, which is somewhat irrelevant, and which WTJU later retracted.<ref>[http://cwckiforums.com/threads/wtju-charlottesville-radio-station-responds.4313/]</ref> Apparently, the CDs were only kept up because WTJU thought that Bob was a musician who did a set for the station and not a DJ. eBay then removed the listing a second time, but not before two hapless people had bought copies. Chris gave up on relisting the CDs and claimed he was unable to refund the buyers, but promised to ship each of them a color commissioned drawing, autographed photo, and complimentary CD instead.

===Chris takes a break===

On 6 December, Chris announced that he would not be able to produce or sell his artwork until 1 January 2015, as he and his mother would be busy moving back into [[14 Branchland Court]] after its renovation. But nothing happened on this day. Instead, about two weeks into the new year, Chris silently removed all his sale items from his account, making no mention of it on Facebook. Finally, on 2 February, he announced:

{{quotebox|2 February 2015
Relisted: More Sonichu and Rosechu Medallions for satisfied Sonichu and Rosechu Fans. Please, help me get my Seller Status back up to Standard, so I can relist the commissions and photos again. Thank You.}}

Of course, given that he was due to appear in [[26 December 2014|court]] in three days, he was taking a big risk in guaranteeing that he could fulfill orders.

'''eBay''' is an online auction site frequented by [[Chris]] since May 2001. He has often purchased and sold stuff there.

==Chris as a buyer==
Chris bought a lot of [[My Little Pony]]s from the site. His many eBay purchases helped Chris accumulate a debt of $2,000 on his credit card.

During the [[Megan Saga]], [[Megan]] often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II [[CWCville|Wehrmacht]] soldiers, [[anime]] CDs, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",<ref>[[Megan Emails, Jan-July 2007#Another email from the "Seriously Stop Fucking Touching Me" collection]]</ref> though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 [[March 2010]], he spent $12.97 on ''[[God of War]] III ''The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a ''God of War III'' Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent ''thirty dollars'' on a [[ModNation Racers]] Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ''ModNation Racers'' with that money, which he already did.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback">[http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=jesusguidesme2&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true eBay Feedback Profile for jesusguidesme2]</ref> The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the [[PSN]] for merely $2.<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/09/playstation-store-update-164/ PlayStation Store Update - PlayStation.Blog, 9 Nov 2010]</ref> Most recently, however, Chris purchased a ''Lego Friends'' promotional display stand for $30.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/> ''Lego Friends'' is a series of Lego aimed at pre-teen girls, as evidenced by its general kiddiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a buyer. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

Immediately after listing and successfully selling various drawings (including the [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]) and multiple [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos]] in early July 2014, Chris bought several Lego minifig parts on eBay.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/>

In 2015, Chris has shown himself to be an avid consumer of Amiibos, which he buys from eBay scalpers at around $30 a pop. Chris seems to be going for a complete collection of Amiibos. [[Trolls]] also noted a $30 [[Lego]] minifigure and hundreds of dollars in [[Lego]] sets; the typical spending spree for Chris ends in about $600 of tugboat being forked over to various eBayers in exchange for second-hand toys.

==Chris as a seller==

===Early sales===
Since late [[2008]], when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.

Early in [[2009]], Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "[[Chris and religion|jesusguidesme2]]", and deleting information from his account. It didn't work. The account went dormant in [[September 2010]], but became active again around [[August 2012]].

Around [[September 2009]], Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his awful [[Gitar of Fail|guitars]]. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as that [[Gitar of Fail]], "[[Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud|Meatwad's Shredwad]]" shows off Chris's disregard for [[Parody|copyright]] and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' merch, but none of those slanderous [[trolls]] can do [[Chris and hypocrisy|''the exact same goddamn thing'']] with [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']] products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.

He also sold a [[Transformers|Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro]] claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

In August 2008, Chris auctioned off a pink [[Wikipedia:LeapFrog Enterprises|LeapFrog]] [[Wikipedia:Leapster|Leapster]]. He received $29.99 for it. The Leapster is a handheld "educational" video game system marketed to children ages 4-10. It wasn't released until late [[2003]], which means that Chris was at least ''twenty-one'' when he bought it. He may have bought it because there was a [[Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic X'']] game available for the system. The game, which involves answering math problems to advance, is appropriate for 5-7 year olds.<ref>[http://www.leapfrog.com/en/families/leapster/leapster_learning/lg_sonic.html]</ref>

On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.

===Bob's Straduarius Violin===
In 2014 Chris used eBay extensively, not only to hock portions of the hoard, but also to sell original artwork, which drew considerable attention from his fans.

The first hint of this uptick in activity was on 28 May, and involved Chris's effort to sell what he listed as a "Straduarius" violin which had belonged to his father. Chris stated that he and his mother desperately needed to sell this family heirloom for some quick cash, even though at the same time Chris was begging his Facebook friends for expensive LEGO sets.

===Original Drawings===
[[Image:01June2014-Original eBay Drawing.jpg|thumb|"The main image for this sale was edited to prevent forgery during listing, but a sample of the color is the secondary photo."]]
'''Main article:''' [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]

On 1 June 2014, Chris listed an [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]], with bids reaching over $10,000 in the first day of listing. Chris offered to frame the drawing and ship it in bubble wrap, but ''"ONLY when the art is Bought Now for the full price"''. The listing was taken down mysteriously the morning after, but then reappeared later that day. Over the span of eight days, Chris attempted to force this piece of "work" to be sold at an exuberant price, only for it to be taken down repeatedly, forcing eBay to temporarily [[List of places that have banned Chris|ban]] him. He finally sold it for $200 on 1 July.

Over the next several months, Chris listed six more drawings of his Sonichu characters, managing to sell at least one.

===Autographed Photos===
'''Main article:''' [[Autographed Photos]]

On 1 July 2014, Chris listed [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos of himself]] for sale, at a price of $20 each. Chris offered to write personalized messages in addition to his autograph, as long as the requests are "Not Offensive". In the eBay Q&A for the listing, he approved [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 7: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target"|"All that is down is only the floor"]] as a message, and indicated that he may possibly wear the [[Medallion of Fail|Sonichu medallion]] for an autographed photo.

By 24 July 2014, 58 photos had been sold.
