NumbersGirl Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Wow, nearing £600 already, with 6 days left. If this goes for more than Chris' piano did in the Clearout Sale (£2500), I will hurl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Wow, they're ahead of all the others artists' butterflies by miles. They put in the least effort and make the most money, go figure. (I'm sure there's an NMEesque jibe in there somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumbersGirl Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I know this sounds picky, but I think the yellow one should be one of the middle two instead of on the bottom. It would look better, be more aesthetically pleasing, yadda yadda. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris should have signed blue, Will- Purple, Jonny- green and Guy- red. :rolleyes: They don't know much about Coldplay do they! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
