Also, I assume this is for Sheila's charity, LABF http://lilangelbunny.org/ but it doesn't say.

Now, where's my money?

Nice to see our very own NouveauDance's screenshot is being used on the auction too!
It's nice and gratifying to know people 'within the camp' visit the Org gallery too!


Good luck Sheila & co - let's hope it makes a mint for these kids.

I'd be happy to loan it to the EMP... but eventually, I'd want it back, and I probably would play it after replacing the drum heads and putting the old ones away for safekeeping. ("This kit has been kept in road cases since it was last used with Prince" suggests that it still has heads from the Lovesexy tour.) Playing around with it in the home isn't going to hurt it much, especially since it's not going to be in mint condition after two tours.

Alas, the bidding is almost at $6K, the reserve hasn't been met, and there are still five days left for bidding. I guess I'll have to be content with my souvenirs from the Musicology tour:

now i gotta go get my drumsticks and airplay to the lovesexy drum solo!.lol

WHY DIDN'T I SAVE!!!!!11

suomynona said:

good luck!

If 5 k was your limit, why did you bid 7 thousand?

Btw Reserve hasnt been met yet. I doubt anyone is gonna hit the reserve until the last day.

$10,000+ for a used drum kit? Now if it were Prince's bathtub or something at that price... then we're talkin'.

$10k was the reserve for this. I think its still a good price considering what its been used for. I could see this ending up in a Hard Rock somewhere.

What did the musician say when s/he won the lottery?

"I'm gonna keep working untill its all gone"

lol

$10,800 finishing price. Not bad Shelia, got any more to sell?
