Ever ditched a New Order item you wish you hadn't?
Once peeled two MINTY condition colour Brotherhood '86 tour posters off a wall in Auckland city. Ditched them when I moved flats years later! Anyone have any idea if they would actually be worth anything these days?
I used to pin tickets up on a wall, so thought 'this ain't sensible' and collated them all in one envelope for safe keeping. Then promptly lost said envelope, thus losing every single ticket in one go!
I had the original 'Factory Goes Hollywood' gold and guilt badge with accompanying card (received as a gift alongside the Christmas Flexi). On the day Factory went down I was wearing the badge (not by design, I hadn't worn it for years). I felt quite emotional when somebody pointed out the irony, I think I even shed a tear.
I considered it my own contribution to the Factory story, and I'm hopeful that in some way, by wearing my heart and soul on my sleeve (shirt pocket), that I was some how woven deep into the fabric of the legend.
Unfortunately, since that very day I have never seen the badge again (although there is a slight chance it could be in the loft).
So many mysteries and strange co-incidences.
I avidly collected every magazine article i could lay my hands on in the early 90's
Forced to have a big clear out of the loft when i moved out of my parents, unfortunatly i rather overdid the spring clean and the whole lot got chucked out...
Since then have only been left with a handful of NME's, Melody Makers, Select's and Q magazines, which i gave to Shugzy on his birthday recently so now i got fook all!!
Most disappointed with the loss of the RAGE magazine with Electronic on the cover - anyone remember that? Gary Crowley edited it and it went bust after a few issues!!
Also had a rather cool manc feature on Gio-Goi in one of the RAGE magazines as well or was that ID magazine, well whichever one it was that got binned as well :(
Not quite NO, but I used to have one of those really cool blue/orange FAC51 badges from around 1982. Lost it somewhere. A couple have recently gone on eBay for £130 each. Shit.
....my dumbest act was way back in the 90's - sold both of my pristine JD unknown pleasures & closer LPs for 'next-to-nothing' when I bought the CD versions........now I've bought the LPs back for megabucks.....but I supposed the only good thing out of this was that I now own original JD Factory CDs with thick textured coverslips...
Mine has to be the Hacienda Wine bought back in 1988...
...Back then I didn't think twice about drinking it with a couple of mates...
Wonder how much it'd be worth today?
l8rs,
Nick ;)
I unfortunatly passed on several 7" items because I didn't want to collect vinyl, and I can see they go for a good price on EBay :D
Other than that, I find myself stupid of having sold my UK "Feel Every Beat" CD, and never managed to find the US edition I wanted instead, stupid stupid stuuuuuuuupid!

I have all the Electronic cuttings.....you can have a look when you come up to Corby next month
Regrets again?
It'd have to be several of my posters are ruined, True Faith, Substance 87, NEC 89, Republic, goes back to the day when you never put enough blue tac on them and they always fell down, so you'd push that little bit harder on the corners, and they'd either rip, or look terribly marked
I still have em somewhere. Currently adorning the flat is the 84 tour poster and one of the promo's for the GR Tour.
regrets...hell yes...when I got married...the wife said I couldn't hang my new order posters...had about 7 or 8 of them...I finally tossed them about 6 months before she decided she wanted a divorce....and I'd kill to have them back...maybe I should just kill her?!?!?!
like Jarvo...I also had all my ticket stubs from all the concerts I'd been to...last time I saw these were sometime after the Area One thing in SF...then they mysteriously disappeared...so all I have now are the tickets from Brixton and Finsbury...oh the shame!!!!
Well, I can't find the NME from June 1980 that announced Ian's death, with JD on the cover, and with stories by Paul Morley, Adrian Thrills, and Charles Shaar-Murray. 
My tickets from 86 and 89; and I cannot find my NO t-shirts, particularly the black long sleeve one with the bar code; also have numerous NME and Melody Maker papers. Maybe everything is up in the attic. When I got married, I put everything away and up in the attic. A lot of good memories up there.
The only New Order related thing I ever got rid of was an almost perfect copy of 'PCL' cover on the back of my leather jacket. It was replaced with the Crass symbol, Statue of Justice included.
Reason? Too many arseholes kept shouting - 'poof, flowers on the back of your jacket'
Oh, and my knuckles got too bruised.

Same thing here, but at last I have my own room (office) where my computer is, so I have them there.. they are frame..
I managed to keep my Love Will Tear Us Apart and Closer framed posters in the TV room though :D
I still have a low-life tour poster not hanged, I don't have the space, and I have a very huge "Temptation" tour poster, which was too big to be framed actually in my closet... with my torn full cherub Technique poster :(
Only last week I *had* to throw way a lot of posters because I'm moving house - mostly Joy Divvie ones (same old blu-tack, drawing pin, tear reasons).
However the one item I regret losing is the 'Not Just Lowlife' poster which I got from (I think) Record Peddler in Manc land (£40 on the nose if I remember). I got home from work totally pissed and decided to chuck a load of stuff in the bin, this included said poster in it's tube. About two weeks later I was lying in the bath and I had this sudden recollection of said event - dried me self off and hunted high and low. Somewhere in a council tip just outside Hull.......
