James Iha?

Maybe it’s another lunch date with Billy!

[Cool As Ice Cream]

omg omg omg what will it be?
machina II?

[Cool As Ice Cream]

do you think you’d make a chance if machina II was auctioned on ebay?

[manillascissor]

i would bid, just to be a part of history. i wouldn’t win though.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

i don’t think i’d win either. i can just imagine the amount of money it would go for, and there is no way i want to pay that much. even if it \"only\" goes for $10k, i could never justify paying that much, if i think what else could be done with that money.

Same here, not when it is Machina II though, but when it is an original set of Mashed Potatoes…

[marigold]

If it’s the Machina II – it will go to someone who has that kind of money to fling around AND wants the item AND knows the money is going to a good cause. Kinda like that guy who won the lunch date.

mmm, I don’t know if I’d want a shirt that Billy has sweated in!

[manillascissor]

fail. no one wants that.

[Arthur]

Mwoah, no fail at all, I think. There will be lots of bids I’m quite sure.

But I don’t want it either, to be honest!

[Cool As Ice Cream]

shit, too late. i guess i won’t be part of this history.

[manillascissor]

bids over $1,000 require pre-qualification. good idea. hope it’s a success.

[Arthur]

It’s over 5,700 dollar now.

[marigold]

insane

[Cool As Ice Cream]

maybe the high bidder at this moment (£3,500) only placed a bid to be part of history, feeling quite safe with 9 days of bidding left, and with no intention of ever paying this much for the shirt.
how would he or she feel if nobody else topped that bid?

edit: dunno. looks like they’re serious. it’s a bidder with zero feedback, and five bids on this auction. typical ebay noob behaviour. good for the auction, of course.

[Danni]

Apparently they don’t make enough dough on music nowadays, hence they need to auction everything?

[manillascissor]

i think the pricier items are for charity. for the massachusettes tornado victims.
