Mega Joy Division sale on ebay

Originally posted by Al Jarvis Oh, there's a surprise!Guess who's highest bidder now?!

Interesting, revealing his hand this early. Thought he would wait until 0.01 seconds before the auction ended. The tension must be eating away at him.

He is still testing the reserve. Just wait until the last 10 seconds, Then you will see the big bid

If he works for the Airlines, he must be a pilot, or air trafic control. Because there is no way anybody else makes this kind of money. I worked as a travel Agent before so I kinda have an idea.

But I bet he still lives at home

I bet he doesn't: considering he's French, and lives in Miami!

Can't remember what he does, though I did know. Not a pilot though. Perhaps something in IT, not sure?

and pilots make next to nothing.

lots of bling bling in miami--perhaps 'works for the airlines' is code for 'owns own plane.'

I sense the typical jealousy against people who are fortunate enough to be able to affort the prices for some of the really collectible items. I've met David a couple of times, and he's a nice guy who is very passionate about New Order. If we didn't have ebay, he would be 3 hours early to a record fair just to snag the best pieces there.

There are collectors, and then there are dedicated hard-core collectors. I only know of a handful of collectors who would spend this kind of money. Some people play the lottery (tax for people who don't know statistics), some people buy expensive cars, some people travel around the world to see New Order ;), and some people spend a lot of money on records...

The flip-side of the coin is that the seller could've sold the collection to Esprit, and then we would have seen some really horrible prices...

/TLV - also living in Orlando.

Whoa, posting #42 - the meaning of life.

Lovely.

French people living in the south, they are called "Cajuns" And there are alot of them. Mostly Louisiana, but Florida has them too.

and they do not speak real French!!

5 grand now, and Mr WIM seems to be trying to outbid himself!

Don't mention language skills, bit of a touchy subject. ;)

I can't believe this stuff is worth in excess of £5k. I wouldn't pay that much for it even if I had the money. Anyone know who Trojan1963 is yet ?

Elazaro Emokrabe.He's a milionare arabian. You may know him as Denial_1963.

Sultan of Bling is still in the "lead" a dubious accolade nonetheless at 5k

Less than 24 hours to go now so im just off to the bank to rush through a 7 grand loan....

Don't know who likes more David here,Sebs or Nicos ?

Watch that seller do the same auction for NewOrder rareties as soon as that auction is closed, could the Sultan of Bling afford to re-bid so quickly should he scoop this lot i wonder....

I thought Cajuns were native to America, no?

Dave is bona fide French.

As in born-and-raised-in-France.

Unmistakeably so.

Are we in a History classroom?

12 hours 18 mins to go

Still @ £5,000.

i still think this guy selling them knows barney or peter.. the salford, manchester just sticks out to me.

anyway, we'll soon know the result of the "sale of the century"
