Nice and new looking autographs. Who knows if they are real or not, I certainly wouldn't want to pay that sort of money for something like that.
It was bad enough when I paid 100 pounds for 'An ideal for living' 7" in 1993, only to find out years later it is a pirate version.

autographed 'An Ideal For Living'
I got an email last week about this auction.
Not a bad price for the aifl signed,dont know about the signatures tho,but have to say hookys sig does look legit.
They have been selling a shitload of NO/JD stuff at auction today including some very rare stuff.
nearly all exceeded the guide prices.
I originally thought it was the remainder of Rob grettons collection but it is mot definately a fellow collector who was selling the items via auction.

The signatures looked legit to me, I've collected a few in my time, but I wouldn't spend that amount not knowing for sure.
I bought a few items; completed my Confusion German 7" coloured vinyl set, and some other nice vinyl sets. New to this online auction lark. Enjoyed it. The guy conducting the auction started at 10.30am and finished around 6pm. 5 minute break.
John Lennon's tooth went to a Canadian Dentist for £19500!

Looks like I was bidding against you on the set of German "Confusion" singles - I ultimately gave up because I didn't need them badly enough. :)
While the autographed Joy Division EP did sell for silly money, quite a few items went for very reasonable prices. I grabbed a FAC 21 badge at probably 30% of what it typically sells for. Grabbed a set of New Order 7" white labels at a reasonable price as well compared to what they'd go for individually on eBay.

Nice one. I only needed the red one! Although, looking at the yellow vinyl it would appear that the yellow one I already have is in fact the infamous green marbled one. So I have now completed the set of 7. I will sell the duplicates one day.
I am only missing the yellow one. Get in touch if you want to sell/trade. I'll leave you a private message.

Pity because I will be hanging on to the yellow now. Anyone needing either the blue, purple, lime green or green message me. :)

Sorry - I think I skimmed over your earlier message too fast! Guess I am out of luck. :(
As you likely know, the yellow, red, and marbled colors weren't intended, but are the result of shifting colors in the pressing of the official colors (blue, purple, lime, and green). Since they're "accidental," I never put too much focus on collecting them. But then again, their accidental nature of course makes them more collectible.
BTW - my Omega Auction items arrived today from their journey across the big pond. Aside from all the darn auction fees, I was likewise quite pleased with the whole affair.
