Title: Charity Auction For Fire Fighters - Justins Salvaged Guitar
Post by: Viv Savage on January 22, 2012, 06:27:17 PM
Auction in aid of The Firefighter's Charity  (http://www.firefighterscharity.org.uk/text.asp?PageId=86)

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7169/6743852591_2f42b24771.jpg)

This is the Fender 12 String that was used on Wierd Sister and various other bits and bobs since. Please place your bids in posts below, starting bid £100.  Bidding ends with highest posted bid securing the item at midnight (UK time) on Monday January 30th. Please note that the buyer must collect, or send a reliable person to collect this unique and authentic item as it is fragile. It will be fine if put up on a wall as an artwork, but will not withstand too much rough handling. It has been cleaned and varnished and has a provenance label. 100% of funds raised go to The Firefighter's Charity.'

Thank you!

Always wait until the end of the auction before showing your hand, bidding early only drives the price up, I was told.

Sod it
£190

I really don't have the money to bid on this, but how do you manage to always remind me than besides music and lyrics, you're actually a bunch of amazing human beings ? :)

That's a bit sneaky playing the "wedding card" I may have to propose to get equal footing in the justification stakes  :o

The bidding is still open until 00.00 Greenwich Mean Time - which means there's still 2 hours and 25 minutes to go!

Aww, maan. How bad would I feel outbidding you guys. It'd be like jumping on your wedding cake.
£299.99 if you have second thoughts. About the guitar obviously. Happy Anniversary.

This attempt at emotional blackmail being dealt here seems to me to be missing the point - the auction of Justin's guitar is for the hundreds of fire fighters who regularly risk their lives for the benefit of ours. 'Course, just to throw it back straight at ya, if your relationship is that important surely you should bid more in aid of this fine cause! ;)

Only an hour left to get your bids in!


Ten minutes!!!!!

I need to go to bed but i want to see who gets it!!
