I hope this has not been posted here yet. I've just seen on tonight's news that one of the yellow guitars is up for auction. It was used during tours in the late 80s and early 90s. Starting bid is $30,000. It's expected to fetch at least six figures. They are also auctioning a few more items; including an early demo tape which contains an unreleased song.

You do realize this has nothing to do with the family/estate. Nothing to do with what's in the vault. Auctioning of Prince's shit has been happening since ebay came online. Clothing. Guitars he's used. Handwritten lyrics. Unreleased test pressings on both CD and vinyl.

So, if this thread was from 1995, then you'd be right.

Greatscott..I'm sorry I said anything.
I could not care less about the Vault contents. Were I a family member, that's the one thing I would never let anyone get their hands on. That content is intellectual property representational of where his thoughts and feelings were at different periods throughout his entire lifetime. It's exceedingly personal ..just to him. Those thoughts and feelings belong...just to him. If any of it was something he ever wanted anyone to hear, then he would have released it himself.

You do realize that I said I just saw this on tonight's news. I don't know where you live, but nothing concerning anything that belonged to Prince being actioned has ever been mentioned before. And probably wouldn't have been mentioned tonight had he not been gone now. It was news to one of our news stations ..and it was news to me.

I simply passed on something that was news to me, and thought it might be news and of interest to others. If you already knew about it, then bully for you. However, you could have left your rudeness and tackiness off the keyboard.

The guitar looks fake, it has nothing to do with prince estate, I agree. It was broken and fixed according the ad, so it's not even original anymore.
