The Coldplay will put 52 lots under the hammer, beginning tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm UK time, and the full catalogue of all the items up for sale has been released today and can be downloaded now (21Mb file). You can discuss the contents of the catalogue and each other's wish list at the Coldplay forum here onwards!
From December 18, the band will begin the "End of Decade Clearout Sale" on auction website eBay to help raise money for the charity Kids Company. They will sell everything from instruments, signed platinum discs, costumes from the "Viva La Vida" tour and stage equipment, as well as lots of other items. The auction, which will also include many items from the early part of the band's career, will run until 5pm (GMT) on December 31. Today's announcement has just been made by Anchorman and contains all the details you need to start preparations for your all important bids tomorrow...

The sale itself will then begin tomorrow at 5pm. There will be four waves of the auction, as follows:
Friday 18 December - All items related to Parachutes era
Saturday 19 December - All items related to A Rush Of Blood To The Head era
Sunday 20 December - All items related to X&Y era
Monday 21 December - All items related to Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends era
All auctions will last for 10 days, with the final auction ending on 31 December 2009. In addition, because we wanted to make sure that some of the items go to Coldplay fans with more modest funds, one copy of each signed lithograph in the auction will be made available as a first-come, first-served Buy It Now item, for £10 (plus shipping). These items will appear on the coldplaykidscoauction eBay page at random times throughout the duration of the auction. Remember, all proceeds will go to Kids Company, an incredible charity that helps vulnerable children and young people in London. Happy bidding!
