if you got some money left ... you know my birthday's coming up ...

Wonder who's so desperate to pay more than 100 pounds...

looking at the bid history, they started at about 20 pounds, so someone must be!

That's just ridiculous. Deb's probably got gazillions of these I would imagine. She could make a fortune going by this.

if it's some crazed John fan I dont wanna imagine what they're gonna do to those drumsticks :shock:

Good thing then it's not the light up ones they use sometimes. :shock:

i know who used to own those!!!

:twisted: That is NOT an image I want in my head :shock:


Yeah, John Miceli :p :mrgreen:

And before that a tree!

and before that? :p

I paid one hell of a lot less than this and got plectrums, set listing and a pass as well as the drum sticks, I'll admit I was surprised that they didn't go for more but this price is a bit much lol

A kiss from Patti fair enough but no band related object signed by anyone I would pay this kind of amount of money for.

that reminds me, who actually ended up buying aspens wedding dress?

:twisted: I've just shown Jo the drumsticks on e bay, and asked her how much she thought they were going for.

Jo's valuation.........................

















£1000 :faint:

Remind me NEVER to let her out with a credit card :yikes:

I've got a couiple spare she can have for that price :))

:twisted: Do NOT tell her that :bleh:

You could probably ask John for them and he'd give you them free... This is ripping fans off big style !!!

It's not ripping fans off at all...someone has a pair of sticks, they don't want them so they've put them on Ebay, there's no reserve on them so it's entirely down to the bidder that they've gone up to that much. I'd guess that the bidder doesn't realise that people are given (or catch) sticks for free if he thinks they're worth £100+ but I don't see how anyone's been ripped off when they've bid willingly

youve hit the nail on the head Lucy.

(if you have that saying over there)

:twisted: Agreed with Lucy :up:

And it's not just ONE bidder.
Obviously at least two people think it's worth the money.

They're certainly not the most common items in the world (I don't own any, and Michael had to buy his from e bay so it's not like they are THAT easy to get hold of) but I personally don't think they are worth the amount they're going for.

Saying that, it's relative to how much disposable income you have.
I dare say if I won the lottery i'd be happy to pay over the odds for Meat Loaf related bits and pieces.
If a few fans have got the kind of budget where they can throw a hundred quid at a pair of drum sticks without feeling a pinch, then good luck to them :shrug:

I dont know....youve still got some common sense though.
Even if I was a millionaire I couldnt justify paying such a price. I'd rather go and give the money to people in need.
Even if you have loads of money, that doesnt mean you forget your idea of money.

(same reason I didnt/wouldnt buy an M&G, but that's another story)

There's been a couple of singles on ebay but to the best of my knowledge this is only the second time a pair have gone on sale.

For the record I paid £27 for this lot...

you could sell it all on seperately and make a fortune!

I love my drumsticks and wouldn't part with any of them, though I am thinking of them as currency now :lol:

I can only assume that this guy (or girl) doesn't know how the seller came to have the sticks in the first place if they're willing to pay that much...I have limits on how much I'll pay for certain things but I couldn't let myself pay over £100 for something that I know probably got to the seller for free :?

Depending on how much these finally go for, I could see John considering supplementing his income here :))

:twisted: I DO? :shock:

A nice and commendable sentiment, but I believe false logic.
There many people who are loaded, and give plenty of charity in terms of money, time, and support, but i'll bet you a pound to a Euro every one of them has bought something dumb with a silly price tag within the last year :nuts: .

Meat has not long took part in the Dead Ringer For Glove, but do you really think he's not seen a piece of needless crap for a hundred bucks or so and thought "neat, i'll have that" (and no Jonty, i'm NOT talking about any Bat III songs.Thought i'd get in first there :wink: ).

Even the richest person is entitled to a little "mad money".




No, it doesn't have to mean you FORGET your idea of money, but it would change your perspective.Like it or not :shrug:






Reason I didn't was that it was too rich for my blood right now.
If I had the spare cash, and I wouldn't miss it, I would have bought M&G's all day long for every show :yep:

And a limo and private plane to get from one show to the next :mrgreen:


I might have to open a whole chain of soup kitchens and hospital wards to ease my conscience, but hey, if money's no object, why the hell not :shrug:
