In the business world of the 80's, buying companies and selling them off piecemeal was all the rage. I would be very disppointed if the buyer ended up doing something similar with this lot. These should go to a true fan. Problem is they'll go to someone who has more money than they know what to do with. Just jealous I suppose. Keep them in the UK!!

surely there can be no better use of lottery funds than keeping this collection in the country?
I've got a weird feeling about this. Why would anybody be selling that ? Could it be...
A member of the band ?

Don, I said not pretty sure 
GBP 3,500.00 (approx. C $7,801.70)
7,800 $CDN... Damn, you can have a very good used car at this price.
Reserve MUST be 5000, but you know, even if you win it, and don't pay, the worst thing that will happen is.. you'll get banned by EBay :D
As for the seller, he'll have the enormous fees of EBay to pay, so removing his item from the bid would cost him too much...
Why don't we all club together and have collective ownership, this way it'll stay in this country, and be owned by true fans. I'll even keep it all at my house free of charge.

Did you read that: "Buyer pays for all postage costs", that means the seller is paying the ebay-fee anyway??? Sounds like a bad deal with 9,5% of the highest bid going to ebay!!!
Sweepstakes on what the highest bid will be? I'll say £8000, no problem. If some clown can pay £1500 for a tatty original of the fac1 poster, this lot can easily go for £8k. Plus, I don't think the "incubation" guy has entered the fray yet...
I used to dream about An Ideal for Living when I was a little teenage JD fan way back in the 80s, after I saw a picture of it in An Ideal For Living book. The specially attracting thing about it was the fact thet they'd not only released it on their own, but that they'd folded the sleeves themselves. Makes it physically connected to Joy Division you see, not just another comercial presssed in a plant somewhere far away that presses Britneys and Limp Bizkits of the world as well. I might have seen a copy in Zagreb in a club circa 1990, but it might have been a fake as well. Or it might have been a dream.
Now that I'm older I'm not any wiser.
One good thing about living in an extremely poor country is that, on 290 pounds per month, there's no way I could find 5000 pounds, so there is no threat thad I could spend 5000 pounds on records.
Because otherwise I would.
has anyone noticed the address of the seller..
Salford, United Kingdom.
i think this guy is a personal friend or past personal friend of barney or hooky. it makes total sense. they're from salford, and this guy obviously has everything you can get your hands on. what do you all think?

If you have the money you can even make a profit selling every item separately later. Of course, after taking a few photographs with them.
I wonder if this is actually true or not....maybe we should go through and give a $$ value to each of the items to see....
A sordide sentimentale recently sold for around $350 on ebay....whats the other stuff worth....obviously aside from the freaking fantastic intrinsic value of all of these items!!!

Okay, how much would you pay for Ian Curtis' first ever autograph on back of cigarette packet?
100 GBP? 200 GBP? I wouldn't pay that, but I'm sure you could get as much as 200 GBP.
The question shouldn't be how much would you pay, more like how do you know that it's genuine?
Can it be proved? Doubtable.
I dunno if this is true, but i showed the auction to my friend, and she said the buyer would be allowed to back out of the auction because the seller is requiring the winner to pay his Paypal fees.
It's pretty easy to tell an old fag packet - styles of packet have changed over the years, and one from 25 years ago will look different to modern ones. We know what his autograph looked like, so unless someone had deliberately forged it back then on a period fag packet, it'll (chances are) be genuine. We know this seller went to the Alty show - he's got the ticket/poster in the stash. Dunno why so many people are sceptical. The idea of autographing a fag packet is so Joy Division it has to be true !!

okay, assume it's genuine. How much would you pay? How much would you get on 'the market'?

How much are those fees in this price-region?
Some people are insane...
Come on, there is lots of things this kind of money can buy instead of a bunch of plastic stuff with music recorded on it!
You can have sex 3 times a day for a whole year no problem with that kind of money
