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.

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.

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  Remind me NEVER to let her out with a credit card

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

Agreed with Lucy  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

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...

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