Title: Fancy a new Bodrahn? Post by: davidmjs on November 25, 2009, 03:22:39 PM I think the seller (presumably the raffle winner?) has an ever so slightly inflated view of the value of Folk-Rock signatures....

Well spotted! Title: Re: Fancy a new Bodrahn? Post by: Barry on November 25, 2009, 03:29:52 PM Especially as it appears to have been played .... and DM's autograph appears somewhat faded. Maybe his wife has said "get rid of that tatty old thing" he's said "I'll put it up on ebay" and can then go back as say "sorry dear, didn't sell ..."

Title: Re: Fancy a new Bodrahn? Post by: davidmjs on November 26, 2009, 09:55:42 AM And it was probably done for charity in the first place. :o I don't have any problem with someone winning something from a charity auction and then trying to sell it for profit (it's theirs to do with as they want) afterwards, but putting something that is worth a hundred and fifty quid-ish (max) for a buy it now of a couple of grand does rather amuse me. I think it's safe to say they won't sell it... Title: Re: Fancy a new Bodrahn? Post by: giottoscircle (Robert) on November 26, 2009, 10:57:11 AM Despite the fact that it appeals to me (and no doubt to lots of us here) the Seller does appear to overestimate the rarity and value of the signatures. I suspect that most of the signatories would give their autographs if asked and even a cheque made payable to "Cash" for £2000 signed by them would struggle to reach that price!
Title: Re: Fancy a new Bodrahn? Post by: Paul on November 26, 2009, 11:25:25 AM To be honest, I don't see the point of buying something with signatures on anyway. It's different when you buy something at a gig, and then ask the artist to sign it. It feels special then.

Because its such a good cause, I'll have a few on the basis you could deliver it at Cropredy or similar. Title: Re: Fancy a new Bodrahn?
