Back in early 2007, Troy? ? the 1998 Ig Nobel Prize winner in Safety Engineering ? attempted to auction off his “Trojan” combat suit. Unfortunately, the $35,000 minimum price was not met. This is not the first time Troy has had trouble finding eBay purchasers for his grizzly-resistant suits.
Troy is again attempting to recoup some of the money he’s put into his various projects (flame paste, the “Angel Light”, and of course, his various grizzly suits), this time by auctioning off the Ursus Mk VI suit featured in the documentary “Project Grizzly”. The suit is currently priced at a bit over US$2,000, and Troy hopes the ending price will exceed $40,000 by the auction’s end on July 14th.
