Charity Auction Dec 2008 Holiday Head

[Deb]

John has added this months charity auction to ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/SIGNED-DRUMHEAD-MEAT-LOAF-PETER-CRISS-JOHN-MICELI_W0QQitemZ120347177181QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash =item120347177181&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)


It's a very special one for Christmas. John has got Meat and all the band to sign a holiday Drum Head. It's the head from 'Sieze The Night' Gong Bass Drum that John has been using since the beginning of the Bat III tour

You can see all the signatures he has along with pics of each band member signing it on his website on the auction pages.

John has also done two blogs about this which you can find HERE (http://john-miceli.blogspot.com)

John had a very cool added bonus to the collection at sound check in NJ last week. Peter Criss from Kiss stopped by and signed the head for John

Good luck all that are bidding and I hope this does well for John's charity

:twisted: Nice :drool:



But Neil, can you trust a signature that wasn't done in front of you...even with a photo? LOL

I'm off for an early bid, bet a pound to a penny it'll be outbid lol!!!!!

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but you said it was on a blog of a person who is not a member here :wink:

[Monstro]

I said "don't think", he's hardly a prolific poster lol

Had my bid, not usually one for early bidding but what the hey, all for charity innit!!!!!

:twisted: A member is still a member :wink: :lol:


It's in a good cause, so the more money raised, the better.

I don't think this is the kind of auction where too many people would be impressed with a last minute gazumping to keep the price down :wink:

[Monstro]

Jeez, I got outbid quick there lol, I've a feeling that this could set a record for John's auctions that'll take some serious beating!!!!!

Ok, one more bid....

[carole]

Thanks Deb, I've put it on my watched list, it's great what John is doing, and Meat and the rest of the band signing it too is great.

[~Helen~]

hmmm....furniture or drum head...furniture or drum head....

this is ace, thanks for sharing again deb....although i can't afford to bid i really do wish john the best of luck with this....and the same to those who can afford to bid - i can only dream how awesome it would be to own this!

[Monstro]

Already up to £242!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: I've thrown in my hand on this one :lol:

Good luck to the winning bidder though :up:

[MissAsh]

Think I may have to keep an eye on this one, could almost justify it as an early birthday present to myself since I do have a big birthday coming up...

[allrevvedup]

didn't expect it to increase this quickly, will see how it goes...

[duke knooby]

didn't expect it to increase this quickly, will see how it goes...

thats exactly what RJ said about his ....

[Monstro]

there's always early bids on John's auctions, this is about where I expected this to be after a couple of days though.

Shall we have a sweepstake on what we think the final selling price will be?

[SW31]

over $400 now

[allrevvedup]

up to $405 now, there may have to be a lottery win tonight:D

[Monstro]

$460 - £310 now, doing well!!!!!!!!!!!

[Monstro]

Just over 24hrs to go folks, any last minute bids??????????

[allrevvedup]

might be a bit too rich for my blood, especially since the credit card bill has to be paid tomorrow

[MissAsh]

Just realised it's going to end while I'm at work, drat.

[meatloaf-unofficial]

So far its around the £310 mark...

I have to say it is an exellent piece and would really love it but I think if I bidded I could well be in alot of debt for quite a few years :lol:

Mind u though, have I got anything I could sell to make a quick sale and then I could do it :-P ...errrr

*thinks*..... *thinks some more*......

I do have something, but I couldn't... its been in the family for years.... no I couldn't... could I??? :lol:

Selling the family home...or a family member mightn't be a good idea!

[carole]

$460 - £310 now, doing well!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is $700 Aussie dollars, so is definitely way out of my price range now sadly.

[belladonna-took]

[MissAsh]

Woah, over 800 quid! I was expecting it to go for maybe around the £500 mark, great result for John there.

[AndyK]

Imagine how much that item could have fetched if it wasn't just before Christmas? Great result for the charity though!

[allrevvedup]

Great that it made so much, well done John and for a good cause

Well done to John for raising so much money, and to the winning bidder :up:
