John Miceli Charity Auction

Deb · 30 Sep 2008, 17:54

John is going to add a Charity Auction at the start of every month and the first Charity Auction is going on Ebay tonight

You can find more info on his website on a new link called 'Charity Auctions' and he also put up a blog about it HERE

The charity is Compassion International. John sponsors two children already through this charity and he is hoping to be able to sponsor another child by doing these Auctions

The first Auction is for this very cool drum head that John used at Rehearsals in NY back in June. That has the set list on it.

The auction will go on today at 3.00pm Eastern time and 11.00pm UK time HERE I'll post the link to the auction when it goes on.

John is giving away a set of John Miceli / Meat Loaf drum sticks with this auction. (As many of you already know a set of these alone went for £102! on eBay last week lol.)

This is a really great cause and it means a lot to John. He has said he'll post updates on his site from the child that gets sponsored.

That is fantastic Deb

If I was rich I would definately bid on those things

Deb · 30 Sep 2008, 18:56

It really is Sarah

and I don't think people need to be rich to bid for these auctions

Lots of things go on ebay for good prices

Sarahdk23 · 30 Sep 2008, 20:09

Yes I know - I was just kidding

But hopefully the bids will be very high, so John can get a lot of money for this good cause!

Deb · 30 Sep 2008, 20:18

Thats true Sarah

meatloaf-unofficial · 30 Sep 2008, 22:44

It deffo a good idea and a great cause too..
I really do hope it does well and I will keep an eye on it and will bid,yes, I will

What a great idea!

~Helen~ · 01 Oct 2008, 00:26

Deb stop tempting me with exciting auctions, worthwhile or otherwise!

just kidding - think it's a brilliant idea and i keep forgetting to check john's site so v glad you posted about it on here

AndrewG · 01 Oct 2008, 00:33

So he writes the setlist on the drumskin. Does he always do this?
What show was that from anyway?

AndrewG · 01 Oct 2008, 00:34

Doh just the read the auction and it's from the rehearsals.

Deb · 01 Oct 2008, 01:41

Here's the listing:

LOL you know you want to Helen lol

Andrew, no it's not something John always does, as I have used drum heads that don't have a setlist on lol. But I have a feeling it is something he does either in rehearals or the beg of tour as I have one from beg of last tour with a bit of 'Pigs' on and one from this tour with a setlist one

Very similar to this one actually

and yep it's from the NY rehearsals

6 bids already

So i'm guessing the lack of replies is cause some want me to shut up and not draw this to anyones attention lol.

Sorry

Normally I'm totally with those who want to keep ebay auctions quiet, but this one is for a very worthy cause

Who would ever want you to shut up Des?

A very worthy cause indeed, and for once an auction for a Meat item that I think everyone wants to see go to the highest possible bidder.

carole · 01 Oct 2008, 10:32

Thanks for letting us know Deb, that's nice of John to do that. It will probably be out of my price range too, but I'll take a look.

carole · 01 Oct 2008, 10:37

Well I put in a bid, and immediately got outbid, so I've got it as a watched item.

djfierce · 01 Oct 2008, 14:35

nice to see it off to a flying start...soooo the wrong time for us though

MissAsh · 02 Oct 2008, 01:08

Must remember to put a lottery ticket on this week...
Nice to see the auction going well so far, it's a lovely thing to do.

**Monstro** · 07 Oct 2008, 10:23

Unashamed bumping of thread as the auction finishes tonight, last chance to bid!!!!!!!

Asha · 07 Oct 2008, 11:45

Well there's a new highest bidder.....

Deb · 07 Oct 2008, 20:36

Thanks for bumping it up M

Deb · 08 Oct 2008, 00:19

I had no doubt in my mind from the very beginning who it would go to, well done you old dawg you

Could only be an ebay pro who could outbid Heather at the very last second like that

*AndyK* · 08 Oct 2008, 00:21
