im missing something, was that guitar smashed on stage or...?

 

It was the one he tossed every night at the end of GPASUYF.

Total of biddings so far: £18956

I think someone retracted a bid because the total of biddings so far is lower than yesterday (- £240).

Chris Martin of Coldplay's smashed Fender Telecaster, which was used throughout the Mylo Xyloto tour from 2011-2012. At the end of the song "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", Chris often threw this guitar up into the air and allowed it to smash to the floor (you can see a video of that happening at

).

 

wat

 

heaven forbid a magical breeze ever lifted it a bit far off course in mid-air

Tick Tock

 

Probably would have raised more money by doing a £5 an entry raffle, would get more fans included with a chance of winning unique items, rather than the fans with lots of spare cash.

Chris's jacket currently £2400 with 12 minutes to go...

 

...will it change?

Damn myself, I'm meant to be working on my uni coursework, instead I'm following an ebay auction

2550 @ 2 mins 30

Chris Martin's Mylo Xyloto tour outfit: £3200

 

I wonder if ebay will give back the £40 in final selling fees, plus whatever the paypal fee is going to be?

 

Ended up at 3200, jumping from 2600 in the final seconds

 

At least the winner has earnt 3200 nectar points, enough to get £16 back :P

Wow..

I'm kinda surprised to see that all those items don't raise even more money, especially the clothes... I mean the Viva items raised a bit more, didn't they? But anyway, this is all really terrific for Kids Company.

 

Now I just hope that at some point all those items will find their way to museums or places where they can be preserved, exposed and seen by a lot of people.

£9100 so far for the guitar

 

My prediction, at least £10000

 

Edit - Just jumped £1100 in last second

They are only listing shipping to the UK. So I would have to make arrangement to go rip the clothes off Jonny myself if I win. :whip:

Jonny Buckland's Mylo Xyloto Fender Stratocaster: £10100

 

£10100

 

Jumped to 9600 at 10 seconds, then to 10100 at 2 seconds.

 

Beat me again Tash :P

They're not terribly off from what the viva items were, especially considering these can only apparently ship to the UK, whereas only a few items were so limited in the last sale. The relative breakdown of prices is even similar. (ie what sorts of items are going highest to lowest.)

Oh I had no idea they were shipping to the UK only! That must indeed be the main reason.

 

Just found the old End of decade clear out sale thread, looks like last time was kind of the opposite from today: the clothes went higher last time (£4800 for Guy's jacket, £2355 for Jonny's cap only!) but the instruments went higher this year (Jonny's guitars raised £6800 and £5200).

End of Decade was thought to maybe be a one time only thing. Since then they have auctioned off a lot of stuff thereby driving prices down.
