December 23, 200916 yr are you going for the globe!? not that i am im just interested in what coldplayers will get what Yes, I was. My husband thinks I'm insane, but I don't care, the globe is a one-in-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime piece of music history, I don't care if it takes years to pay it off (not his money anyway). I'm Bidder 15, and I officially stopped yesterday. I realized that Bidder 18 was likely going to stop at nothing to get it (at that point Bidder 18 was over $12K U.S.), so I just went ahead and figured out a bid that would be just under the special pre-sale verification limit. I got outbid in less than 3 minutes, that's how bad Bidder 18 wants it. They have the next highest bid at just over the pre-sale verification limit; so if they don't get verified (and they are from the U.S.), I think it would default to me. But I could be wrong. I decided not to get special verification, so that way I'm not tempted to spend more. :dozey: That scenario likely won't happen though, so I'm not getting my hopes up. I just hope Bidder 18 is a true fan, and I think they are becuase a lot of their bids end in some sort of variation of 42.
December 23, 200916 yr I just have to say this. You know, you guys, life will go on if you don't get something. You'll still be hundreds of dollars richer, and you'll still be right where you are. You're not going to die. Don't get me wrong, it'd be great. I'm just seeing the logical side of this. What would you do with something like Chris's Fender Rhodes or the Globe? It'd collect dust. It belongs with the ones who made it what it is.
December 23, 200916 yr I'd play the Fender Rhodes:P Well I got to peace with not getting anything. But still I'd rather see it go to a fan than a random rich person. And I think it would also collect dust when it is with the guys. Maybe even more than when it's with a fan.
December 23, 200916 yr Well, I think It'd be better if there was some sort of, I don't know, logic to this auction.
December 23, 200916 yr I think there really is for them. I don't think they just though oh lets sell all our stuff for charity. I think they felt like they needed to do something like this. I trust the boys that they have a very good reason for doing this

It belongs with the ones who made it what it is. I agree for the most part. It's not the end of the world if we don't get anything. A few weeks ago this auction didn't exist and we were all just peachy, and it shouldn't be any different after the 31st. I'm not going for any of the guitars, becuase I don't play, so it would indeed collect dust as you say (which is pointless, so it should go to someone who can appreciate it). The globe wouldn't collect dust becuase I would put it on my piano and plug it in every day and keep it nice and pretty and dust-free and give it the love it deserves. :D Actually now that I think of it, that's better than it's current status, becuase apparently it's been collecting dust in storage for years now... And I also agree with you that it really belongs with the ones who made it what it is (i.e., the band)... I am still perplexed why they would want to give it up. Some of the other stuff, sure, but I don't understand why they would give up THE globe. I don't think I'll ever understand it. I mean, I know it's for charity, but still.
December 23, 200916 yr Well, I think It'd be better if there was some sort of, I don't know, logic to this auction.Poor kids isn't logical enough? :thinking:
December 23, 200916 yr Poor kids isn't logical enough? :thinking: :P I'm not complaining about the money going to charity. I'm complaining about the asses on eBay that aren't even Coldplay fans, buying up everything. I know there's no way to stop or change it. And it's great that so much money is going to the Kids Company. It still isn't fair to devoted Coldplay fans.

Believe it or not, but there are rich Coldplay fans :shocked2: 2. Stupid rich people/investors are everywhere, so there's no way to exclude them from any kind of interesting auction. Plus, they bring in money for charity. And that's kind of the whole point and stuff. :nice:
December 23, 200916 yr Oh holy h-e-double hockeystick!!! I just now got an e-mail that Bidder 18 retracted all their bids!
December 23, 200916 yr Okay' date=' you're taking it way too literally, so I'm just going to give up.[/quote'] I do get your point, but when money's involved things usually aren't fair :) I just now got an e-mail that Bidder 18 retracted all their bids!Price is looking a lot better now. I hope you'll be able to get it :D
December 23, 200916 yr I'd love to see a Coldplayer get the globe :cheesy: That would be fantastic :dance: I think there really is for them. I don't think they just though oh lets sell all our stuff for charity. I think they felt like they needed to do something like this. I trust the boys that they have a very good reason for doing this I think maybe they are doing this because it is easy for them to just write a cheque. This way they are actually feeling like they are really parting with something Oh holy h-e-double hockeystick!!![/size][/color][/b] I just now got an e-mail that Bidder 18 retracted all their bids! Oh faaaark!!!! :freak::freak::freak:
December 23, 200916 yr A bit broke?!?!? :thinking: I'd have to sell my kids, or my organs :P Let me see, I have 2 kidneys, I think I can get by with 1... :sneaky: When I got that e-mail I nearly fell out of my chair. I blurt out an expletive, hopefully nobody heard me.

December 23, 200916 yr Woa! Numbersgirl (I don't know your name :shame:) That's great! I hope you get it!
December 23, 200916 yr ha ha :laugh3: I'm sure they'd understand! You at work? Yip. Lunch break. ;) I'll be on lunch break next Monday, glued to the screen... The girl that sits next to me is also a fan and is routing for me. She told me that if I win, I should charge people just to look at it. :lol:
