Thought it was a Teraz, but I must have been looking at the pic backwards and thought the speedo logo was a nike swoosh. I'm going blind. Or I as blinded by the VPL.

Here's a Nike Teraz currently up for bid on ebay. The asking bid of $399 makes it a collectible.

The seller above also has this red Speedo brand water polo suit up for auction for only (!) $149. He includes pics of two awesome water polo players that made the rounds on the internet maybe ten years ago. Makes me wonder where they are now.

This is the highest asking price I have ever seen for a speedo style suit on ebay: US$4999. It's the Adidas style worn by the U.K. team at Rio. Below is Tom Daley wearing one.

It's a Speedo boy's size suit. The size in the picture would probably be 24" which would mean small sides eg 1"

A lot of that style was sold in Germany and South Africa, the lining would have been cut out of the suit in that picture.

The below seller has various sizes of suits of the same style and logo. Not sure if they are real speedos though.

The guy below is wearing suits with the same Speedo logo.

Ok thanks!

Jeez, I must be blind, I mistook the speedo logo for the Nike swoosh, losing all cred.

It looks like the seller has re-listed it at $399.

Maybe the seller starts with these outrageously high "buy it now" prices with the idea that someone will make a lower offer that would still be a lot of money for a bathing suit. I love my speedos but they aren't collectibles. That's for art, stamps, and coins.

I have a pair of Aussie Swim Team Speedos which I bought from a seller on eBay. I paid about $30 AUS for them. I bought them for me to wear and enjoy, also have a pair of team GB from London 2012 and a pair of Arena Great Britain Swim briefs.
